Examination of Artificial Intelligence Anxiety and Self-Efficacy Levels of Volleyball Coaches

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the AI anxiety levels and self-efficacy levels of third-level volleyball coaches by evaluating them in terms of various demographic variables. Third-level volleyball coaches were included in the study. In addition to the personal information form, the Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale developed by Wang and Wang and the Coach Efficacy Scale-II revised by Myers, Feltz, Chase, Reckase and Hancock were used in the data collection tool. G-Power analysis was performed to determine the sample size and the minimum number of participants was determined. No statistically significant difference was found in the analyses made according to the variables of gender, age, marital status, education level and AI tool usage of the coaches. However, a significant difference was found in the evaluation made in terms of the variable of years of coaching. According to the results of the Tukey test, which is a post-hoc analysis, it was determined that the AI anxiety levels of third-level volleyball coaches with less coaching experience were lower. In addition, no statistically significant relationship was found between the artificial intelligence anxiety levels and self-efficacy levels of third-level volleyball coaches at the 0.05 level.
