This
study aims to find out the prosocial and antisocial behavior as well as the
empathic skills of wheelchair basketball players in sports. A total of 230
wheelchair basketball players (216 males and 14 females) participated in this
study which uses relational screening model. The Prosocial and Antisocial
Behavior in Sport Scale (PABSS) and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI)
were used as data collection tools. Independent t-test, Cronbach Alpha, One-Way
Anova, Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis were used for the
analysis of data. The data obtained shows that there is a low level, meaningful
and positive correlation between the empathic skills of wheelchair basketball
players and their tendency for prosocial behavior in sports. In addition, a
medium-level, meaningful and negative correlation between their empathic skills
and tendency for antisocial behavior was found. It has been concluded that
perspective taking, empathic concern and fantasy which are dimensions of
empathy do not show a difference in the variable being a national athlete or
non-national athlete. It was seen that personal distress is higher in athletes
who are not national athletes. As a result of the analysis it was found out
that as the antisocial behavior of wheelchair basketball players towards their
teammates and opponents increase, their fantasy levels decrease. In light of
these findings, it may be said that while emphatic skills promote prosocial
behavior in wheelchair basketball players, they decrease antisocial behavior.
Based on these results, the empathy training which will be given to athletes to
promote prosocial behavior in sports is of great importance.
