SIQ (Sport Imagery Questionnaire) especially developed for sports and it was designed by Hall et al (1998). Turkish adaptation of inventory was done by Kızıldağ in 2007.. According to t test results by gender comparative comparison, sub dimension of sport imagery questionnaire there is a statistically significant difference at the sub dimension of imagery which is the Motivational Specific Imagery and Motivational General Arousal Imagery (p<0.05).

The Examine of Imagination and Self-Efficacy Levels of Athletes in Terms of Some Variables

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı atletlerin imgeleme ve öz-yeterlik inançlarını değerlendirmektir. Çalışmaya 35 erkek ve 47 kadın olmak üzere toplam 82 sporcu katılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında Riggs ve arkadaşlarının (1994) geliştirmiş olduğu Öcel (2002) tarafından Türkçe'ye çevrilerek uyarlanmış olan Öz Yeterlilik Ölçeği-(SES) ve özellikle spor için geliştirilmiş olup, Hall ve diğerleri (1998) tarafından tasarlanmış olan, Türkçe'ye uyarlaması Kızıldağ (2007) tarafından yapılan Sporda İmgeleme Ölçeği-(SIQ) kullanılmıştır.. Cinsiyetler açısından yapılan karşılaştırma ve t testi sonuçlarına göre, imgeleme ölçeğinin alt boyutlarından Motivasyonel Özel İmgeleme ve Motivasyonel Genel Uyarılmışlık İmgeleme alt boyutlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark vardır (p <0.05). Korelasyon sonuçları, Bilişsel İmgeleme ile Öz Yeterlilik; Motivasyona Özgü İmgeleme ve Öz Yeterlilik; Motivasyonel Genel-Ustalık ve Öz Yeterlik boyutları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir (p <0.05). Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, cinsiyet, imgeleme ve öz yeterlik inançlarının cinsiyet açısından farklılaştığını imgeleme ve öz yeterlik arasında anlamlı korelasyonel ilişkiler olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.
