THE INVESTIGATION OF PROSOCIAL AND ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR AND ATHLETE IDENTITY ACCORDING TO SOME VARIABLES

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between prosocial and antisocial behaviour and athlete identity according to some variables. 244 university students, who actively participate in sports, voluntarily participated in this study. Data were collected by using ‘’Prosocial and Antisocial Behaviour in Sport Scale (PABSS)’’ adapted into Turkish by Sezen-Balcikanli (2013) and ‘’Athletic Identity Scale’’ adapted into Turkish by Öztürk and Koca (2013). The data were analysed with SPSS 22 via descriptive statistics and Mann Whitney-U test for pairwise groups, while correlation between variables was assessed by spearman correlation test. Results revealed significant relationship between athlete identity and prosocial behaviour to teammate and also between athlete identity and the sporting experience in years. Moreover, our results indicated that male athletes have a stronger athlete identity than female athletes. As a result, coaches and practitioners are recommended to consider the individual differences of athletes while dealing with moral disengagement (antisocial) and its behavioural consequences in sporting environment.

PROSOSYAL VE ANTİSOSYAL DAVRANIŞ İLE SPORCU KİMLİĞİNİN BAZI DEĞİŞKENLERE GÖRE İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Çalışmanın amacı sporcularda prososyal ve antisosyal davranışlar ile sporcu kimliğinin farklı değişkenlere göre incelenmesidir. Çalışmaya aktif olarak spor yapan 244 üniversite öğrencisi gönüllü olarak katıldı. Çalışmanın verileri, Türkçe uyarlaması Sezen-Balçıkanlı (2013) tarafından yapılan ‘’Sporda Prososyal ve Antisosyal Davranış Ölçeği (SPADÖ)’’ ve Türkçe uyarlaması Öztürk ve Koca (2013) tarafından yapılan ‘’Sporcu Kimliği Ölçeği (SKÖ)’’ ile toplanmıştır. Veriler SPSS 22 programında tanımlayıcı istatistikler, ikili gruplarda Mann Whitney-U testi ile değerlendirilirken, değişkenler arası ilişki ise spearmans korelasyon testi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, sporcu kimliği ile takım arkadaşına prososyal davranışta bulunma arasında ve sporcu kimliği ile spor yapma yılı arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur. Bununla birlikte erkek sporcuların kadın sporculara göre daha güçlü sporcu kimliğine sahip oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, antrenör ve eğitimcilere spor ortamlarındaki ahlaki antisosyal davranışları ve bu davranışların sonuçlarını ele alırken sporcuların bireysel farklılıklarının göz önünde bulundurulması gerektiği önerilmektedir.
