Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the differences between the variables of gender, age, educational status and the number of exercises performed weekly with body liking and general self-efficacy and also to examine the effect of body liking on self-efficacy. A total of 271 voluntary participants, 141 women and 130 men, who participated in fitness activities, participated in the study. In the study, the General Self-Efficacy Scale was utilized as well as the Body Liking Scale. The data were tested with descriptive statistics, independent sample T-test, one-way analysis of variance ANOVA, Pearson correlation test and simple linear regression analysis. The findings indicate that the average body liking score of the participants is high and their general self-efficacy levels are at an average level. At the same time, it was determined that gender, age, educational status and number of weekly exercise sessions significantly differentiated body appreciation and general self-efficacy. As a result, it was determined that self-efficacy had an effect of 22% in explaining body liking and both measurement tools showed a positive and significant relationship.

Özet

Bu araştırma; cinsiyet, yaş, eğitim durumu ve haftalık yapılan egzersiz sayısı değişkenlerinin bedeni beğenme ve genel özyeterlilik ile arasındaki farklılıklarının belirlenmesi ve aynı zamanda bedeni beğenmenin özyeterlik üzerine etkisinin incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya fitness faaliyetlerine katılan 141 kadın 130 erkek toplam 271 gönüllü katılımcı katılmıştır. Çalışmada Bedeni Beğenme Ölçeği’nin yanı sıra Genel Özyeterlilik Ölçeğinden yararlanılmıştır. Veriler betimsel istatistikler, bağımsız örneklem T-testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi ANOVA, pearson korelasyon testi ve basit doğrulsal regresyon analizi ile test edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular katılımcıların bedeni beğenme ortalama puanın yüksek, genel özyeterlilik düzeylerinin ise ortalama seviyede olduğu yönündedir. Aynı zamanda cinsiyet, yaş, eğitim durumu ve haftalık egzersiz yapma sayısının bedeni beğenme ve genel özyeterliği anlamlı biçimde farklılaştırdığı tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak özyeterliğin bedeni beğenmeyi açıklamada %22’lik etkiye sahip olduğu ve her iki ölçüm aracının pozitif yönlü anlamlı ilişki ortaya koyduğu saptanmıştır.
