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.
