Investigation of the Relationship Between Sportsmanship, Self-Control and Mindfulness Levels in Early, Middle and Late Adolescence
Abstract
This study aims to examine the relationship between sportsmanship, self-control, and mindfulness levels across early, middle, and late adolescence. The research sample consisted of 828 participants: 258 in early adolescence, 286 in middle adolescence, and 284 in late adolescence. Data were collected using “Personal Information Form”, ‘Physical Education Course Sportsmanship Behavior Scale (PECBSBS)’, ‘Brief Self-Control Scale’ and ‘Mindfulness Scale’. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The results revealed significant positive relationships between sportsmanship levels and self-control at a medium level for all age groups, low-level positive relationships between sportsmanship and mindfulness, and medium-level positive relationships between self-control and mindfulness levels. Self-control and mindfulness were found to have a significant positive predictive power on sportsmanship. It was concluded that 21% of the total variance of sportsmanship for early adolescence, 20% for middle adolescence, and 14% for late adolescence was explained by self-control and mindfulness.
