Farklı Spor Branşlarındaki Sporcuların İmgeleme Davranışlarının Araştırılması

Abstract

Bu araştırma, farklı spor branşlarındaki sporcuların imgeleme davranışlarının ve görselleştirmelerinin incelenmesini amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada "Sporda Hayal Gücü İmgeleme" ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Çalışmamızın alt boyutlarına ilişkin gruplar arasındaki farkı bulmak için "T-Testi ve ANOVA" ve "post hoc (Tukey)" testleri uygulanmıştır. Cinsiyet ve branş değişkenlerine göre incelendiğinde alt boyutlar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olmadığı görülmektedir (p>0,05). Buna karşın motivasyonel genel uyarılmışlık alt boyutunda anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Spor yaşı değişkenine göre alt boyutlar incelendiğinde bilişsel imgeleme ve genel motivasyonel uyarılma (p=0,015) alt boyutlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık vardır (p<0,05). Uzamsal görselleştirme puanlarına göre branşlar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olmadığı tespit edilmiştir (p>0.05). Sonuç: Bu çalışmada imgeleme düzeylerinin cinsiyet ve branş değişkenlerine göre benzerlik gösterirken, yaş ve spor yaşı değişkenlerine göre farklılık gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Mekânsal imgeleme puanları incelenen spor branşlarında anlamlı bir farklılık göstermemiştir. Yaş ve spor yaşına bağlı anlamlı farklılık, branşlarında daha deneyimli sporcuların imgeleme becerisini daha iyi kullandıklarını ve yıllar içinde bu konuda uzmanlaştıklarını ortaya koymaktadır. Spor yaşı arttıkça zihinsel imgeleme puanlarında artış, motivasyonel genel uyarılma puanlarında ise düşüş olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Spor yaşı yüksek olan sporcuların motivasyonel genel uyarılmışlık düzeylerinin düşmemesi için önlemler alınmalıdır. Bu çalışma farklı örneklem grupları ile kapsamı genişletilerek yürütülmelidir.

Investigation of Imagery Behaviours and visualization of Athletes in Different Sports Branches

Abstract

This research aims Investigation of Imagery Behaviours and visualization of Athletes in Different Sports Branches. The "Imagination Imagery in Sports" scale was used. "T-Test and ANOVA" and "post hoc (Tukey)" tests were applied to find the difference between the groups regarding the sub-dimensions of our study. When examined according to gender and branch variables, it is seen that there is no statistically significant difference between the sub-dimensions (p>0.05). In contrast, a significant difference was found in the motivational general arousal sub-dimension (p<0.05). There is a statistically significant difference in cognitive imagery and general motivational arousal (p=0.015) sub-dimensions when examining sub-dimensions according to the sports age variable (p<0.05). It was determined that there was a statistically no significant difference between the branches according to the spatial visualization scores (p>0.05). Conclusion: In this study, while imagery levels were similar according to gender and branch variables, it was determined that they differed according to age and sports age variables. Spatial visualization scores did not show a significant difference in the sports branches investigated. The significant difference depending on age and sports age reveals that more experienced athletes in their branches use the imagery skill better and specialise in it over the years. It has been determined that there is an increase in mental imagery scores and a decrease in motivational general arousal scores as sports age increases. Precautions should be taken not to decrease the motivational general arousal levels of athletes with high sports age. This study should be carried out by expanding the scope with different sample groups.
