The objective of
this study is to scrutinize the changes taking place in the fair-play behaviors
of the high school students playing football and futsal with amateur license.
The study group was constituted by the 264 high school sportspeople, being 140
involved with futsal, 124 with football, doing sports as amateurs. In
identifying the fair-play behaviors, The Fair Play Scale in Physical Education
and Sport, developed by Hassandra et al. (2002) and adapted to Turkish by
Mirzaoglu (2015) was used to collect data. The scale has four subscales
including 15 items. The scale consists of the factors of respect for teammates,
cheating, respect for conventions, and sportsperson ship. The scale is the
Likert type (1=Never, 2=Rarely, 3=Sometimes, 4=Often, 5=Always). Conducting the
works on the diagnostic statistics of the data obtained, their variance and
homogeneousness were tested and Independent Samples t test was used in pairwise
comparisons and One-Way Anova test was used in multiple comparisons. No
statistical alteration was determined in line with the age and year factor, in
which they perform sports. No statistical difference was observed in the
categories of respect for teammates and cheating. The statistical change in the
categories of respect for conventions and undeserved winning was found to be
statistically significant (table 1; p<0.05). Statistically significant
changes were observed in the fair play behaviors in view of the gender factor
as well (table 2; p<0.05). In the light of this study, it was determined
that more positive values were found in
the fair-play behaviors of futsal players than football players, in female
sportspeople than male sportspeople, female futsal players than female football
players. It is considered that such situation depends on the certain structures
of sportive branches in addition to the physical and psychological factors
specific to males and females.
