Investigation of Secondary School Students’ Attitudes toward Violence with Physical Education Lessons’ Sportspersonship Behaviours

Abstract

The aim of this study is investigation of secondary school students’ attitudes toward violence with physical education lessons’ sportspersonship behaviours according to certain independent variables. A total of 209 (age= 12.18 ± 1.06) students, 108 females and 101 males, participated in the research. The data analysis included descriptive statistics, T-test, Pearson moments multiplication correlation analysis, and one-factor variance analysis (ANOVA). In the study analyses show that secondary school sportspersonship levels are high and they are not participate to attitudes toward violence. There is avoidant, low level, meaningful relation between avoiding negative behaviours and attitudes toward violence. In addition, students exhibiting Sportspersonship behaviours were found to be higher than students who played in the school team, and students who did not participate in the sport were more likely to avoid Sportspersonship than students who were not active in the competition. As a result, it is thought that educational institutions can help to reduce violence while increasing the Sportspersonship behaviours by encouraging the orientation of the students to the school teams in order to improve the Sportspersonship and moral values of the students.
