Abstract
Abstract The aim of this study is to examine the resilience levels of women and men do sports in gyms. In line with this purpose, it was aimed to compare the resilience levels of men and women do sports in gyms by gender, age, educational status and occupational status variables. A total of 432 members, 229 women and 203 men, participated to the study voluntarily. The short resilience scale used in the study was developed by Smith et al. (2008) and adapted into Turkish by Doğan (2015). Variance and homogeneity of data were tested by using descriptive statistics in capturing of data. In the case of pairwise comparisons, independent sample t test, One-way Anova test in multiple comparisons and Tukey HSD test in determination of source of variance were used Cronbach's Alpha value for this study was set to 78. While there was no statistical significance observed in the resilience mean values of the members depending on the age, education and profession factors, it was found to be the average value of men members was statistically higher than women members (Table 1, p <0.05). As a conclusion; the reason why men members have more positive resilience values compared to women members can be explained to be eventuated due to socio-cultural structure, social roles and statuses, and social understanding and privilege given to men.
