Bu araştırma, profesyonel kadın futbolcularda irrasyonel performans inançlarının takım direnci üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışma, Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu’na bağlı 1., 2. ve 3. Liglerde oynayan toplam 270 profesyonel kadın futbolcunun katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada, irrasyonel inanç düzeyleri Akıl Dışı Performans İnançları Envanteri-2 ile; takım direnci düzeyleri ise Takım Direnci Özellikleri Envanteri kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. Sonuçlara göre, özellikle “felaketleştirme” ve “değersizleştirme” alt boyutlarının, takımın baskı altında zayıflık gösterme eğilimiyle pozitif ve anlamlı düzeyde ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur. Felaketleştirmenin bu zayıflık boyutundaki varyansı açıklama oranı %6.2; değersizleştirmenin ise %9.9 olarak saptanmıştır. Bu bulgular, bireysel irrasyonel inançların takımın psikolojik dayanıklılığı üzerinde doğrudan ancak sınırlı düzeyde etkili olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu durum, takım içi güven, iş birliği ve kolektif öz-yeterlik algısını zedeleyerek performansı olumsuz etkileyebilmektedir. Özellikle psikolojik zorluklar karşısında liderlik, takım içi sosyal destek ve etkili iletişim mekanizmalarının, irrasyonel inançların etkisini azaltmada koruyucu faktörler olduğu vurgulanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma irrasyonel inançların kadın futbolcularda takım dayanıklılığına olan etkisini veri temelli olarak ortaya koymaktadır. Araştırma, psikolojik müdahale ve eğitim programlarının geliştirilmesi gerektiğini önermektedir.

THE IMPACT OF IRRATIONAL PERFORMANCE BELIEFS ON THE TEAM RESILIENCE OF PROFESSIONAL WOMEN'S SOCCER PLAYERS

Öz

This study explores how irrational performance beliefs affect team resilience in professional female soccer players, involving 270 athletes from Turkey's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd leagues. The Irrational Performance Beliefs Inventory-2 was used to assess irrational belief levels and the Team Resilience Characteristics Inventory to evaluate team resilience levels. It was revealed that the sub-dimensions of "awfulizing" and "depreciation" were positively and significantly associated with the team's tendency to demonstrate vulnerabilities shown under pressure. The variance explained by awfulizing in this weakness dimension was found to be 6.2%, while that of vulnerabilities shown under pressure was 9.9%. The findings indicate that individual irrational beliefs exert a direct yet circumscribed influence on the psychological resilience of the team. This situation has the potential to exert a detrimental effect on performance by undermining team trust, cooperation, and collective self-efficacy. It has been emphasized that leadership, team social support, and effective communication mechanisms function as protective factors in reducing the impact of irrational beliefs, especially in the context of psychological difficulties. To summarise, this study offers empirical evidence demonstrating the impact of irrational beliefs on team resilience among women football players and indicates a necessity for the development of psychological interventions and educational programmes.
