The Role of Physical Activity on Psychological Well-Being and Inclination to Ethical Values

Abstract

The aim of the study is to examine the role of pre-service teachers' participation in physical activity on psychological well-being and inclination to ethical values. The sample group of the research consisted of 606 pre-service teachers of Trabzon University in the 2021-2022 academic year. Data collection tools consist of “Personal Information Form”, “Exercise Stages of Change Questionnaire”, “Psychological Well-Being Scale” and “The Scale of the inclination to Ethical Values”. In the research, which was designed with a quantitative research approach, the survey method was used. Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, correlation tests and Kruskal Wallis test were used as statistical methods in the evaluation of the data. As a result of the research it is seen that there is a significant difference between the passive, preparation and active phases of the exercise behavior change of the prospective teachers, and "inclination to ethical values" and "psychological well-being". In addition, it was found that the prospective teachers in the active phase of exercise behavior had higher psychological well-being scores, and the prospective teachers in the passive phase had lower predisposition to ethical values. Based on these results, it is recommended that pre-service teachers participate in physical activities so that the concepts of psychological well-being and inclination to ethical values, which are necessary for them to be well-equipped teachers, can be positively affected.
