EXAMINATION OF COMPETITIVE SELF-PRESENTATION OF ARTIFICIAL TURF FOOTBALLERS ACCORDING TO SELECTED VARIABLES
Abstract
This study was performed with the aim of determining how competitive self-presentations of individuals playing football on artificial turf were shaped according to selected variables.
Concordantly, 310 athletes in total who participated in a private artificial turf tournament organized citywide in Kahramanmaras were included in the sampling group. The voluntariness principle was followed and athletes who were willing to participate in the study were included in the sampling group.
With the purpose of collecting data for this study, the “Competitive Self-Presentation Scale,” validity and reliability studies of which were performed by Çağlar et al., (2008), and which was collected under three dimensions (fear of appearing incompetent and concern over others’ impression, fear of being unable to cope with pressure and concern over current form), was applied on the sampling group in order to determine levels of competitive self-presentation.
The results of the studies revealed that athletes who are in the younger age groups had low levels of fear of appearing incompetent, concern over others’ impressions, and fear of being unable to deal with the pressure, and athletes sparing more time for sports and exercise had lower levels of concern over current forms compared to those engaged in fewer sportive activities. It was also identified that those who engage in sports with their friends had higher levels of concern over others’ impressions and concern over current forms compared to those who do sports alone or with family members.
