Background and Study Aim Material and Methods In addition to their physiological effects, epidemics negatively affect the motivation of individuals by causing varying levels of psychosocial problems such as stress, fear, anxiety and depression. At this point, psychological resilience is considered as an important variable in reducing and preventing the psychological effects of epidemic anxiety. The main purpose of this study is to examine the mediating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between epidemic anxiety of physical education teacher candidates and their academic motivation. The study group of the research, which was designed in the relational screening model, consists of 451 physical education teacher candidates. They are studying in the 4th grade of the Physical Education and Sports Teaching program of the universities. The data of the research was collected with "Personal Information Form", "Epidemic Anxiety Scale", "Academic Motivation Scale" and "Brief Psychological Resilience Scale". Descriptive statistics techniques, correlation and regression analyzes were used to analyze the data. The PROCESS macro extension was used for mediation analysis.Results The mean score levels of physical education teacher candidates were 57.03 +/- 14.52 for epidemic anxiety, 92.74 +/- 15.72 for academic motivation, and 20.26 +/- 5.00 for psychological resilience. While epidemic anxiety predicted psychological resilience (95%CI [-0.168;-0.109], p<.001) negatively, psychological resilience predicted academic motivation positively in a significant way (95%CI [0.727; 1.331], p<0.01). When psychological resilience was included in the model, the overall effect of epidemic anxiety on academic motivation (95%CI [-0.083; 0.123], p>0.05) became insignificant. Psychological resilience has a mediating role in the relationship between epidemic anxiety and academic motivation. Conclusions Psychological resilience emerged as an essential variable in preventing the psychological effects of physical education teacher candidates regarding epidemic anxiety and increasing their academic motivation.
Raket Sporcularında Atletik Zihinsel Enerjinin Yarışma Yönelimlerine Etkisi: Tanımlayıcı Araştırma
(2024) Sezan, Turan; Eskiyecek, Canan Gülbin; 13.02. Department of Coached Education / Antrenörlük Eğitimi Bölümü; 13. School of Physical Education and Sports / Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Yüksekokulu; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
Çalışmanın amacı, farklı raket sporlarıyla uğraşan bireylerde atletik zihinsel enerjinin yarışma yönelimleri üzerindeki etkisini belirlemektir. Araştırmaya, 17-31 yaş grubu tenis, badminton ve masa tenisi branşlarındaki gönüllü 215 raket sporcusu katılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak \"Atletik Zihinsel Enerji Ölçeği (AZEÖ)\" ile \"Yarışma Yönelimleri Ölçeği (YYÖ)\" kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 26 programı ile normal dağılım gösteren verilere bağımsız örneklemler için t testi, çoklu karşılaştırmalar için ANOVA testi, ölçekler arası ilişki için ise Pearson korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır. AZEÖ analizlerinde; sporcuların cinsiyet değişkeninde yorulmama alt boyutunda, branş değişkeninde dinçlik, motivasyon ve konsantrasyon alt boyutlarında, yaş değişkeninde motivasyon ve konsantrasyon alt boyutlarında, öğrenim durumu değişkeninde ise sakinlik alt boyutunda anlamlı farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir. YYÖ analizlerinde; raket sporcularının branş, yaş ve öğrenim durumu değişkenlerinin çatışma alt boyutunda anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur. Korelasyon analizinde; atletik zihinsel enerji ölçeği alt boyutları ile yarışma yönelimleri ölçeği alt boyutları arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, raket sporcularının bir yandan zihinsel enerjilerinin olumlu etkilerine odaklanarak hareket ettikleri diğer yandan da yarışma yönelimlerinde rakibi yenme ve takdir etme eğilimi sergiledikleri söylenebilir.
Structural Modeling of Turkish Sports Science Students' Addiction on Social Media and Academic Procrastination: the Mediating Role of Academic Self-Efficacy
(Sage Publications Inc, 2025) Isikgoz, Mustafa Enes; Sezan, Turan; Yuksel, Abdullah; Oztunc, Mustafa
Academic procrastination remains a common problem among university students, yet most research overlooks discipline-specific dynamics. The purpose of this study was to examine the structural relationships between social media addiction, academic self-efficacy, and academic procrastination among sports science students, with a particular focus on the mediating role of academic self-efficacy. A correlational design and structural equation modeling were conducted with 1,017 sports science students from Turkish universities during the spring semester of 2023 to 2024. Data were collected using validated scales for social media addiction, academic procrastination and academic self-efficacy and analyzed using SPSS and Jamovi. Results showed that social media addiction positively predicted academic procrastination, while academic self-efficacy negatively predicted both social media addiction and academic procrastination. Importantly, academic self-efficacy significantly mediated the relationship between social media addiction and academic procrastination, accounting for approximately 41% of the indirect effect. The direct effect of social media addiction on academic procrastination remained significant and together social media addiction and academic self-efficacy explained 55% of the variance in academic procrastination. These results emphasize the crucial role of academic self-efficacy in buffering the negative impact of social media addiction on procrastination among sports science students. Considering the cross-sectional design and the fact that the study was based on self-report, future research should use longitudinal studies and mixed methods to confirm these findings and improve generalizability. In general, the study emphasizes the need for targeted educational interventions to strengthen academic self-efficacy and reduce procrastination, especially among digitally engaged student groups.
