Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between irrational performance beliefs and sports anxiety.

Method: A total of 365 young amateur athletes, 108 males (29.6%) and 257 females (70.4%), with an average age of 16±54, participated in the research. "Anxiety in Sports Scale", "Irrational Performance Beliefs Inventory-2" and "Personal Information Form" created by the researcher were used to collect data in the research. The research data were analyzed using a statistical analysis program. Percentage, arithmetic mean, standard deviation and Pearson correlation test were used to evaluate the obtained data.

Findings: According to the data obtained from the research results, it was determined that the scores obtained from the irrational performance beliefs inventory and anxiety in sports scale were above the average. It has been revealed that there is a significant relationship between the total score and sub-dimensions of the anxiety scale in sports and the total score and sub-dimensions of the irrational performance beliefs scale.

Conclusion: According to the results obtained in this study, it was observed that young amateur athletes with high irrational performance beliefs also had high sports anxiety levels.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı akıldışı performans inançları ile sportif kaygı arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir.

Yöntem: Araştırmaya 108 erkek (%29.6), 257 kadın (%70.4) olmak üzere yaş ortalamaları 16±54 olan toplam 365 genç amatör sporcu katılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplamak amacıyla “Sporda Kaygı Ölçeği”, “Akıldışı Performans İnançları Envanteri-2” ve araştırmacı tarafından oluşturulan “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin istatistik analiz programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen verilerin değerlendirilmesinde yüzdelik, aritmetik ortalama, standart sapma ve Pearson korelasyon testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırma sonuçlarından elde edilen verilere göre akıldışı performans inançları envanteri ve Sporda kaygı ölçeğinden alınan puanların ortalamanın üstünde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sporda kaygı ölçeği toplam puanı ve alt boyutları ile akıldışı performans inançları ölçeği toplam puanı ve alt boyutları arasında anlamlı düzeyde bir ilişki olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada elde edilen sonuçlara göre yüksek akıldışı performans inançlarına sahip amatör genç sporcuların sportif kaygı düzeylerinin de yüksek olduğu görülmüştür.
