Türk Antrenörlerin Spor Psikolojisine İlişkin Bilgi Düzeyleri ve Tutumları

Bu çalışmanın amacı ülkemizdeki antrenörlerin spor psikolojisi bilgi düzeylerine ilişkin algılarının belirlenmesi ve antrenörlerin bu algılarının spor psikolojisi danışmanlığına yönelik tutumları ile ilişkisinin incelenmesidir. Çalışmaya farklı spor branşlarından toplam 313 antrenör katılmıştır. Antrenörlerin spor psikolojisine ilişkin bilgi düzeyleri araştırmacılar tarafından ilgili literatürden hareketle geliştirilen anket ile ölçülmüştür. Antrenörlerin spor psikolojisi hizmetlerine yönelik tutumlarının ölçümü için ise Antrenörlerin Spor Psikolojisi Tutumları Ölçeği Kısaltılmış Versiyonu (Shortened Version of the Sport Psychology Attitudes Revised Coaches – 2, SPARC-2) Türkçe’ye uyarlanarak kullanılmıştır. Bulgular tüm antrenörlerin spor psikolojisi bilgilerinin sınırlı olduğunu ve daha üst antrenörlük kademesine sahip antrenörlerin spor psikolojisi hizmetlerine daha açık olduklarını ortaya koymuştur. Bu sonuçlar ülkemizde spor psikolojisi hizmetlerinin arttırılması adına antrenörlerin spor psikolojisi eğitimlerinin önemini ortaya koymaktadır.

Purposes of this study were to exploring the Turkish coaches’ sport psychology knowledge levels and examining the relationship between knowledge levels and attitudes toward sport psychology consulting. Three hundred and thirteen coaches from various sports took part in the study. Knowledge levels of participants were determined by a survey developed by the researchers from relevant literature. In order to measure the attitudes of the coaches towards sport psychology services, the Shortened Version of Sport Psychology Attitudes Revised Coaches-2 Scale was adapted to the Turkish language and applied to coaches. Findings revealed that the coaches have average knowledge about sport psychology, and that coaches with a higher level of certification were more open to sports psychology services.
