Frizbi Oyuncuların Zihinsel Dayanıklılık Düzeylerinin Problem Çözme Yetisine Etkisinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırma frizbi oyuncularının zihinsel dayanıklılık düzeylerinin problem çözme yetisine etkisinin incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırmaya profesyonel, amatör ve rekreatif olmak üzere toplam 99 frizbi oyuncusu katılmıştır. Araştırmada verilerin toplanması için zihinsel dayanıklılık ölçeği ve problem çözme envanteri kullanılmıştır. Verilerin istatistiki analizi SPSS 25 programı kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırma bulgularına göre problem çözme envanteri alt faktörleri ile zihinsel dayanıklılık ölçeği (ZDÖ) arasındaki çoklu regresyon sonucunda regresyon modelinde istatistiki olarak anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmiştir (p<0.05). Regresyon modelin açıklayıcılık düzeyi ise orta düzeyli olarak tespit edilmiştir (R = .578, R² = .334). Bulgular zihinsel dayanıklılık ölçeği varyansının yaklaşık %33’ünü açıkladığını göstermiştir. Regresyon katsayısı incelendiğinde ise dürtüsel tarz, yansıtıcı tarz, problem çözme güveni, kaçınmacı tarz ve izleme alt faktöründe anlamlı regresyon ilişkisi tespit edilmemiştir (p>0.05). Planlılık alt faktöründe ise negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir (p<0.05). Sonuç: Araştırma sonucunda ise Araştırma sonucunda ise frizbi sporcularında problem çözme becerilerinden olan planlılığın zihinsel dayanıklılıkla önemli bir belirleyici olduğu, dürtüsel tarz, yansıtıcı tarz, problem çözme güveni, kaçınmacı tarz, izleme alt boyutlarının ise zihinsel dayanıklılıkta belirleyici olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

An Investigation into the Effect of Mental Toughness on Problem-Solving Skills among Frisbee Players

Abstract

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effect of frisbee players' mental toughness levels on their problem-solving ability. Method: A total of 99 frisbee players, including professional, amateur, and recreational players, participated in the study. The mental toughness scale and problem-solving inventory were used to collect data for the study. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using the SPSS 25 programme. Results: According to the research findings, a statistically significant difference was detected in the regression model as a result of multiple regression between the problem-solving subscale and the mental toughness scale (MTS) (p<0.05). The explanatory level of the regression model was found to be moderate (R = .578, R² = .334). The findings showed that it explained approximately 33% of the variance in the mental toughness scale. When the regression coefficient was examined, no significant regression relationship was found in the impulsive style, reflective style, problem-solving confidence subscale, avoidant style, and monitoring subscale (p>0.05). A negative significant relationship was found in the planfulness subscale (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of the study revealed that planfulness, one of the problem-solving skills, is an important determinant of mental resilience in frisbee players, while impulsive style, reflective style, problem-solving confidence, avoidant style, and monitoring sub-dimensions are not determinants of mental resilience.
