Analysis of Self-Efficacy Levels of Fencers

Abstract

Self-efficacy is an important factor that should be examined due to the effects of positive and negative situations experienced in the sport environment on sport performance. Self-efficacy in sport is a factor that affects success and performance of athletes. The aim of this study is to examine self-efficacy levels of fencers between the ages of 8 and 16 in terms of variables such as age, gender, sport age, being in the national team and level of income. A total of 152 fencers, 79 females and 73 males, participated voluntarily in the study. The data were collected by using personal information form prepared by the researchers and “Athlete Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES)” developed by Koçak (2020). Statistical analyses were conducted in SPSS 22 software and significance level was accepted as p<.05 in all analyses. According to the results of the study, it was found that self-efficacy levels of athletes differed significantly in terms of gender, age group, being in the national team, sport age and level of income. As a conclusion, it can be said according to the results of the study that athlete self-efficacy levels of fencers increase with the increase in age and sports experience.
