| description | Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the empathetic
tendency levels of the athletes dealing with team and individual sports, and to
specify whether there is a statistically significant difference concerning
gender and sports experience variables. In total, 524 volunteer athletes (232 males and 292 females) participated in
the study, whose ages ranged between 15 and 27. The “Empathy in the Sports
Environment (ESE)” scale, which was developed by Erkuş and Yakupoğlu (2001),
was used in the study for the data collection. The SPSS 22.0 package program was
used in the analyses of the data. The Independent Samples T test was employed for
the paired comparisons, and the Spearman’s rho correlation analysis for
determining the relations among the variables. The significance level was
accepted as p lt;0.05 in the evaluation of the results.
As the conclusion of the study, it was determined that
there was statistically no significant difference between the athletes dealing
with team and individual sports concerning the emotional empathy dimension;
however, it was determined that the athletes dealing with team sports gained
higher scores in the prediction dimension; it was found that the emotional
empathy scores of the female athletes were higher for the gender variable and
male athletes had higher scores concerning the prediction dimension.
Considering the sports experience dimension, it was determined that the higher
the years of experience, the higher the levels of emotional empathy and
prediction. |
