Bu araştırmanın amacı öğrencilerde sporculuk değişkeni dikkate alınarak özyeterlik, rekabetçi kaygı ve psikolojik dayanıklılıklarının incelenmesidir. Araştırmada kullanılan veriler, kolay ulaşılabilir örneklem yöntemi temelinde gönüllülük esasıyla çalışma grubunu oluşturan (100 sporcu kadın, 100 sporcu olmayan kadın) 200 Doğu Azerbaycan Eyaleti İslami Azad Üniversitesi öğrencisinden elde edilmiştir. Tarama modelinde yürütülen bu araştırmada veriler Sherer ve Maddux’un (1990) Öz-Yeterlik Ölçeği, Kiyamarsi (1997) Psikolojik Dayanıklılık Ölçeği ile Martens ve diğerlerinin (1990) Rekabetçi Kaygı Ölçeği aracılığıyla elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgularda sporcu ve sporcu olmayan öğrenciler karşılaştırılması neticesinde öz-yeterlik ve psikolojik dayanıklılık değişkeninin anlamlı şekilde farklılaştığı saptanmıştır. Ayrıca araştırma sonuçlarına göre sporcu öğrencilerin sporcu olmayan öğrencilere kıyasla, yüksek psikolojik dayanıklılık ve öz-yeterlik düzeylerine sahip oldukları belirlenmiştir. Rekabetçi kaygı düzeylerinin ise sporcu ve sporcu olmayan öğrenciler arasında anlamlı şekilde faklılaşmadığı tespit edilmiştir.
