In the research, the Skills for Coping with Sportive Problems, developed by Ozcan and Gunay (2017), validity and reliability studies, and the Mental Toughness Inventory in Sports, developed by Altıntaş, Bayar-Koruç (2017) Pearson Correlation Analysis, Independent Groups T Test techniques were used in the analysis of the data.
Findings and Conclusion: According to the findings of the research; There was a difference between the total score in terms of coping with sportive problems and the ability to be free from anxiety and to show high performance under pressure. In terms of mental toughness, the confidence sub-dimension scores of the athletes who do team sports were higher than the athletes who do individual sports. Considering the relationship between mental toughness and the ability to cope with sportive problems, a moderate positive relationship was observed in team sports, and a relationship level of 13% was found.

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışma, takım ve bireysel sporlarda sporcuların zihinsel dayanıklılıkları ve sportif sorunlarla başa çıkma becerileri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklemi; milli takımda ve üst liglerde yer alan takım sporları (99 sporcu) ve bireysel sporlar (109 sporcu) yapan, 18 yaş ve üzeri sporculardan oluşmaktadır. Kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen, minimum 18, maksimum 30 yaş aralığındaki 80 kadın, 128 erkek sporcu olmak üzere toplam 208 kişiden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmada, Özcan ve Günay (2017) tarafından geliştirilmiş, geçerlik, güvenirlik çalışması yapılmış Sportif Sorunlarla Başa Çıkma Becerileri Envanteri ile Altıntaş, Bayar-Koruç (2017) tarafından geliştirilmiş, geçerlik, güvenirlik çalışması yapılmış Sporda Zihinsel Dayanıklılık Envanteri kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde Pearson Korelasyon Analizi, Bağımsız Gruplarda T Testi tekniklerinden faydalanılmıştır.
Bulgular ve Sonuç: Araştırmanın bulgularına göre; sportif sorunlarla başa çıkma becerileri bakımından toplam puan ile kaygıdan uzak olma ve baskı altında yüksek performans gösterebilme becerileri bakımından fark görülmüştür. Zihinsel dayanıklılık bakımından ise takım sporları yapan sporcuların güven alt boyutu puanları bireysel spor yapan sporculara göre daha yüksek çıkmıştır. Zihinsel dayanıklılığın sportif sorunlarla başa çıkma becerileri ile ilişkisine bakıldığında takım sporlarında orta düzeyde pozitif ilişki görülmüş, %13 oranında bir ilişki düzeyi saptanmıştır. Bireysel sporlarda ise bu oran %5 düzeyinde bulunmuştur.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Takım ve bireysel sporlar, sporda zihinsel dayanıklılık, sportif sorunlarla başa çıkma becerileri
