Abstract

The aim of this research is to examine the empathic tendency and lateral thinking tendency skills of the students of the faculty of sports sciences. The population of the research consisted of students studying at the Faculty of Sports Sciences of Ondokuz Mayıs University in the fall semester of the 2020-2021 academic year, and the sample group was composed of 489 students who were determined by random sampling method and participated in the study voluntarily. In order to collect the research data, both the Empathic Tendency Scale developed by Dökmen (1988) and consisted of 20 items, and the Lateral Thinking Tendency Scale consisted of 9 items developed by Semerci (2016) were used. SPSS 22 package program was used in the analysis of the data. “Pearson Correlation Analysis” was performed to determine the relationship between dependent variables. As a result, it was seen that the empathic tendency levels and lateral thinking skills of the sports science faculty students participating in the research were at a good level. It was determined that female students' empathic tendency skills were more developed than male students. In addition, the relationship between the scales was found to be positive and significant.
