THE ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANGER EXPRESSION AND EMPATHIC DISPOSITIONS OF TURKISH YOUNG NATIONAL WRESTLING TEAM PLAYERS

Bu çalışmanın amacı; genç güreşçilerin öfke düzeyleri ve empatik eğilimlerinin tespit edilmesi ve Türkiye genç güreş milli takımı sporcularının öfke düzeyleri ile empatik eğilimleri arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesidir. Bu çalışma yaş ortalamaları 17 ile 20 (19,0±0.82) arasında değişen 46 adet genç güreş milli takım sporcusu üzerine yapılmıştır. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak; Davis (1980) tarafından geliştirilen ve Türkçe uyarlaması Engeler (2005) tarafından yapılan Kişiler Arası Tepkisellik İndeksi ve Spielberger (1988) tarafından geliştirilip Özer (1994) tarafından Türkçe uyarlaması yapılan Sürekli Öfke ve Öfke Tarzı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel analizlere geçmeden önce ölçeklerden elde edilen puanların normal dağılım gösterip göstermediği test etmek amacıyla yapılan Kolmogorov-Smirnov ve Shapiro-Wilk testleri sonucunda gözlem değerlerinin normal dağılım göstermediği anlaşılmıştır. Dağılımın normal olmamasından dolayı nonparametrik korelasyon testlerinden Spearman Korelasyon testi uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin istatistiksel çözümleri Portable IBM SPSS Statistics v19 programından yararlanılarak yapılmıştır. Kişiler Arası Tepkisellik İndeksi ve Sürekli Öfke ve Öfke Tarzı ölçeklerinden elde edilen puan ortalamalarının minimum ve maksimum değerleri tabloda gösterilmiştir. Sonuç olarak; analiz sonuçları Türkiye genç güreş milli takımı sporcularının öfke düzeyleri ile empatik eğilimleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişkinin (p

TÜRKİYE GENÇ GÜREŞ MİLLİ TAKIMI SPORCULARININ ÖFKE DÜZEYLERİ İLE EMPATİK EĞİLİMLERİ ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİNİN BELİRLENMESİ

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anger level and emphatic concern of young wrestlers and determine the relationship between anger expression and empathic dispositions of Turkish young national wrestling team players. The study was conducted in 46 wrestlers from Turkish young national wrestling team whose ages differed from 17 to 20 (19.0 ± 0.82). The Interpersonal Reactivity Index: IRI which was developed by Davis (1980) and translated into Turkish by Engeler (2005) and the Anger Expression Inventory which was developed by Spielberger (1988) and translated into Turkish by Özer (1994) have been used for collecting data. Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests were employed to test whether or not scores obtained from the inventory followed a normal distribution before the statistical analyses of the data were initiated and it was found out that observation values did not follow a normal distribution. Since there is not a normal distribution of the data non-parametric correlation test Spearman Correlation was performed. Statistical analyses of the data obtained were performed using Portable IBM SPSS Statistics v19 program. Minimum and maximum values of the mean scores obtained from the Interpersonal Reactivity Index and Anger Expression Inventory subscales were presented in tables. The analysis showed that there is a significant relationship (p<0.05) between anger expression and empathic dispositions of Turkish young national wrestling team players. This situation was observed frequently athletes who are dealing with combat sports. This result is consistent with the literature.
