Sports Activity Duration and Aggression: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between weekly sports activity duration and aggression levels among undergraduate students. The research was conducted using a correlational survey model based on a quantitative approach. The study group consisted of 398 undergraduate students studying at various universities in Turkey. Participants' aggression levels were measured using the Aggression Questionnaire Short Form (AQ-SF), and their weekly sports activity durations were obtained via a personal information form. The data were analyzed using simple linear regression, and the significance of the coefficients was tested with 5000-sample Bootstrap confidence intervals (CI). The findings indicated a negative and statistically significant relationship between weekly sports activity duration and aggression levels (B = -0.13; t = -2.14; 95% Bootstrap CI [-0.26, -0.01]). Although the variance explained by the established model was low (R2 = 0.011), the results reveal a significant association between increased time allocated to sports activities and lower aggression tendencies. However, due to the cross-sectional nature of the study, these findings should not be interpreted as causal; rather, physical activity should be considered a protective and associated variable accompanying the psychosocial adjustment of young adults.

Sportif Aktivite Süresi ve Saldırganlık: Kesitsel Bir İnceleme

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, lisans öğrencilerinde haftalık sportif aktivite süresi ile saldırganlık düzeyi arasındaki ilişkisel yapıyı incelemektir. Araştırma, nicel yaklaşıma dayalı ilişkisel tarama modelinde yürütülmüş olup; çalışma grubunu Türkiye’deki farklı üniversitelerde öğrenim gören 398 lisans öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Katılımcıların saldırganlık düzeyleri Saldırganlık Ölçeği Kısa Formu (AQ-SF) ile, haftalık sportif aktivite süreleri ise kişisel bilgi formu aracılığıyla elde edilmiştir. Veriler basit doğrusal regresyon analizi ile değerlendirilmiş ve katsayıların anlamlılığı 5000 örneklemli Bootstrap güven aralıklarıyla (GA) test edilmiştir. Bulgular, haftalık sportif aktivite süresi ile saldırganlık düzeyi arasında negatif yönlü ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunduğunu göstermiştir (B = -0.13; t = -2.14; %95 Bootstrap GA [-0.26, -0.01]). Kurulan modelin açıkladığı varyans düşük düzeyde bulunsa da (R2 = 0.011), sonuçlar sportif aktiviteye ayrılan sürenin artmasıyla daha düşük saldırganlık eğilimleri arasında anlamlı bir bağlantı olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bununla birlikte, çalışmanın kesitsel yapısı gereği elde edilen bu bulgular nedensel bir sonuç olarak değil; fiziksel aktivitenin genç yetişkinlerin psikososyal uyumuna eşlik eden koruyucu ve ilişkili bir değişkeni olarak değerlendirilmelidir.
