Abstract

The aim of the present study is to examine the relationships between mindfulness, reappraisal, and suppression in adult soccer players. This study was conducted with 186 male amateur and professional soccer players between 17-42 years old (M= 23.36, SD= 6.00) who played soccer in different Turkish leagues during the 2021-2022 season. All participants completed the Background Questionnaire, the Mindfulness Inventory for Sport, and the Emotion Regulation Scale for Athletes. All data were analyzed with SPSS 23.0. First, a Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between the variables, and then a multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to test the predictive role of mindfulness on reappraisal and suppression. Mindfulness was significantly and positively related to reappraisal, while it was not significantly correlated with suppression. Furthermore, mindfulness significantly predicted 27% of the total variance in reappraisal. Although it is not possible to draw a causal conclusion from this research model, the ability to reappraisal skill, which is an emotion regulation strategy, increases with mindfulness in the present sample group. Moreover, mindfulness is responsible for some cognitive reappraisal. However, mindfulness is not related to suppression, which is an emotion regulation strategy.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı yetişkin erkek futbolcularda bilinçli farkındalık, bilişsel yeniden değerlendirme ve bastırma arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Araştırmaya, 2021-2022 sezonunda Türkiye’de çeşitli liglerde oynayan 17-43 yaş aralığında (M= 23.36, SS= 6.00) 186 erkek futbolcu katılmıştır. Çalışma verileri “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, “Sporcu Bilinçli Farkındalık (Mindfulness) Ölçeği” ve “Sporcu Duygu Düzenleme Ölçeği” kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Verileri analiz etmek için SPSS 23.00 kullanılmıştır. İlk olarak değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiyi saptayabilmek için Pearson korelasyon analizi yapılmış ve daha sonra bilinçli farkındalığın, bilişsel yeniden değerlendirme ve bastırma üzerindeki yordayıcı rolünü test etmek için çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda bilinçli farkındalık ve bilişsel yeniden değerlendirme arasında pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu, bilinçli farkındalık ve bastırma arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olmadığı; bilinçli farkındalığın bilişsel yeniden değerlendirmedeki toplam varyansın %27’sini anlamlı bir şekilde yordadığı ve bastırmanın ise anlamlı bir yordayıcısı olmadığı bulgulanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, bu araştırmanın modelinden nedensel bir çıkarım yapmak mümkün olmasa da mevcut örneklem grubunda, bilinçli farkındalık arttıkça bir duygu düzenleme stratejisi olan bilişsel yeniden değerlendirme becerisi de artmaktadır. Dahası, bilişsel yeniden değerlendirmenin bir kısmından bilinçli farkındalık sorumludur. Bununla birlikte, bilinçli farkındalık bir duygu düzenleme stratejisi olan bastırma ile ilişkili değildir.
