The purpose of this study is to examine the
social appearance anxiety levels of physical education teacher candidates based
on different variables. Participated in the current study 600 physical
education teacher candidates studying at physical education and sports
departments which were designed using a screening model. As a data collection
tool, the Social Appearance Anxiety Scale was used in the study. In the data
analysis process, as well as the descriptive statistics, a t-test for
independent groups, one-way variance analysis, and Pearson correlation
coefficient technique were used.The study results suggest that the social
appearance anxiety levels of physical education teacher candidates were low.
Although no meaningful relationship was found between the social appearance
anxiety levels of physical education teacher candidates and their gender and
income level variables, there was a significant difference based on their
sports branches. Additionally, there was a meaningful difference found between
age and social appearance anxiety levels of physical education teacher
candidates.
