Özet

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.
