research, 240 amateur and professional athletes, who are active in the province
of Kırşehir and volunteer, participated in the study. The questionnaire, which
was formed in order to determine the characteristics of the athletes,
"Communication Skills Assessment Scale (CSAS)" developed by Korkut
(1996) and Happiness Scale developed by Demirci (2017) were used in data
collection. </span> <b> </b> </span> </p> <p> <b> </b> </p> <b> </b> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6pt;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;margin-left:0cm;text-align:justify;line-height:200%;"> <b> <span lang="en-us" style="font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;font-size:10px;" xml:lang="en-us">Findings: </span> </b> <span lang="en-us" style="font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us"> <span style="font-size:10px;">When the
happiness levels of the participants were examined according to gender, it was
observed that the happiness levels of women were statistically significant
compared to men (p>0.05), but there was no difference between communication
skills according to gender (p>0.05). It was observed that professional
athletes had higher levels of communication skills and happiness than amateur
athletes (p <0.05). In the study, it was seen that the communication and
happiness levels of the athletes who have 10 years or more sports experience
are higher than the athletes who have less experience (p <0.05). It was seen
that the happiness level of the participants who had 3 or more siblings were higher
than the participants with 1-2 siblings (p <0.05). </span> <b> </b> </span> </p> <p> <b> </b> </p> <b> </b> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6pt;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;margin-left:0cm;text-align:justify;line-height:200%;"> <span style="font-size:10px;"> </span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6pt;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;margin-left:0cm;text-align:justify;line-height:200%;"> <b> <span lang="en-us" style="font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;font-size:10px;" xml:lang="en-us">Result: </span> </b> <span lang="en-us" style="font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;font-size:10px;" xml:lang="en-us">As a result of the research,
it was seen that female athletes’ happiness levels were higher than those of
male athletes, but there was no difference in communication skills of male and
female participants. Professional athletes have higher communication skills and
happiness levels than amateur athletes and the communication skills and
happiness levels of the athletes who have 10 years or more sports experience
are higher than those who have less experience. The happiness level of the
participants who had 3 or more siblings were higher than the participants with
