MARITIME PSYCHOLOGY: A STUDY ON EVALUATION OF SEAFARERS AGGRESSION TENDENCIES
Öz
Rapid development in technology and regulations due to major incidents
and accidents in the maritime sector challenges seafarers now more than ever.
Technological, educational, and other significant changes in the seafaring
industry have increased professional and social demands at sea and compelling
the psychosocial wellbeing of seafarers. In this study, we aimed to investigate and
determine how severe the mental state of Turkish mariners and its expected effects
on the maritime community. Life on-board can be utterly stressful and many
studies, show that there is a correlation between stress and aggression along with
other undesirable mental conditions. It was reached reasonable outcomes about
aggression levels of Turkish Seafarers with the use of the Buss-Perry Aggression
Questionnaire. Firstly, Cronbach’s Alpha values have been calculated for each
scale of the test, then a conformity factor analysis has been carried out. Results of
the questionnaire have been evaluated regarding sample groups of gender, rank,
educational institution, and vocational ship type. When the questionnaire scales
on physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger, and hostility were examined,
significant differences have been found on verbal aggression regarding gender
and the difference in educational institutions and on anger depending on rank.
