Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the attachment styles of sprint canoe athletes actively engaged in sports in Turkey towards their coaches.
Methods: A descriptive survey model was employed in this study. A total of 258 sprint canoe athletes, with a mean age of 14.96±1.67, participated voluntarily. The study utilized the Athlete-Coach Attachment Scale (athlete version) and a personal information form prepared by the researcher. As the data were normally distributed, a t-test was applied to compare binary groups, while Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships between attachment dimensions and continuous variables such as age and years of athletic experience.
Results: The findings revealed that female athletes experienced higher levels of anxious attachment compared to male athletes (p<0.05). A significant difference was observed in the secure attachment subscale between medal-winning and non-medal-winning athletes. Furthermore, a statistically significant positive correlation was found between the secure attachment subscale scores and both the age and athletic experience of the athletes (p<0.05). However, a statistically significant negative correlation was identified between age and avoidant attachment, as well as between athletic experience and anxious attachment subscale scores (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The study concluded that age, years of athletic experience, and medal-winning status were key determinants of secure attachment between sprint canoe athletes and their coaches. Additionally, it was found that female athletes exhibited a higher tendency towards anxious attachment to their coaches compared to male athletes.

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de aktif bir şekilde spor yapan durgunsu kano sporcularının antrenörlerine yönelik bağlanma stillerinin incelenmesidir.
Yöntem: Bu araştırmada betimsel tarama modelinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmaya yaş ortalaması 14,6±1,67 olan 258 durgunsu kano sporcusu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Araştırmada Sporcu-Antrenör Bağlanma Ölçeği’nin sporcu versiyonu ve araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan kişisel bilgi formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada veriler normal dağıldığı için ikili grupların karşılaştırılmasında t-testi, yaş ve spor yaşı ile bağlanma boyutları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla pearson korelasyon testi kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırma bulgularına göre kadın sporcuların erkek sporculara göre daha fazla kaygılı bağlanma yaşadıkları saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Güvenli bağlanma alt boyutunda madalya almış sporcular ile madalya almayan sporcular arasında anlamlı bir fark olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Sporcuların güvenli bağlanma alt boyutu puan ortalaması ile hem yaşları hem de spor yaşları arasında istatistiksel olarak pozitif bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir (p<0,05). Ancak yaş ile kaçınan bağlanma, spor yaşı ile kaygılı bağlanma alt boyutu puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak negatif bir ilişki bulunmuştur (p<0,05).
Sonuç: Durgunsu kano sporcularının antrenörleriyle güvenli bağlanmalarında yaş, spor yaşı ve madalya alma durumunun belirleyici olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca kadınların erkek sporculara oranla antrenörlerine yönelik daha fazla kaygılı bağlanma eğiliminde oldukları tespit edilmiştir.
