| Summary: | Coaches are the main people who have an impact on the mental and psychological
performance of athletes as well as their physical performance. The purpose of
this study is to investigate the effect of perceived coaching behaviors on the
anger and aggression levels of male athletes. This study was conducted with 748
licensed male athletes who are over 18 years of age and participate in individual
and team sports branches. In this study, the “Coaching Behavior Assessment
Questionnaire” and the “Competitive Aggressiveness and Anger Scale” were used
as data collection tools. The study results showed that athletes’ levels of
evaluation of the coaching behaviors were high, while the levels of
aggressiveness and anger in sports were low. It was determined that there is a
negative lowlevel relationship between the athletes’ evaluation levels of the
coaching behaviors and the aggressiveness and anger levels in sports and that the
coach’s behaviors predict the anger and aggressiveness levels of the athletes by
9% and 6%, respectively. The results of this study show that the attitudes and
behaviors of coaches can affect the emotional states of male athletes and have
the potential to increase or decrease their anger and aggressiveness levels.
Coaches who exhibit positive, supportive and modeling behaviors help create a
healthy sports environment and help male athletes maintain emotional balance. |
