The aim of this research is to try to reveal the differences between the facial and emotion recognition skills of athletes who participate in sports at a high level and sedentary. Another aim of the research is to understand whether face and emotion recognition skills are affected by same demographic variables. In addition, the effect of the personality traits of the participants on face and emotion recognition was tried to be understood in the research. A total of 100 (Mage=20.44±2.06) participants, 50 of whom were sedentary and 50 were high level athletes preparing for the Olympics (26 wrestling, 12 canoe sprint and 12 weightlifting). 55 of the participants were male and 45 are female. POFA (Pictures of Facial Affect), designed with the SuperLab 5 program, was used to test the facial and emotion recognition skills of the participants. The 5 Factor Personality Inventory developed by Somer et al. (2001) and the validity and reliability of its short form were performed by Tatar (2005) was used to determine personality traits. IBM SPSS 26.0 Statistics program was used for statistical tests. As a result of the analysis, Olympic athletes have significantly higher scores in facial and emotion recognition skills compared to sedentary individuals. In addition, significant relationships were found between openness sub-dimension and facial and emotion recognition skills among Olympic athletes.

OLİMPİYATLARA HAZIRLANAN SPORCULAR İLE SEDANTER BİREYLERİN YÜZ VE DUYGU TANIMA BECERİLERİNİN KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI: KİŞİLİK ÖZELLİKLERİNİN ROLÜ

Öz

Bu araştırmanın amacı, üst düzeyde spora katılım sağlayan sporcular ile sedanter bireylerin yüz ve duygu tanımlama becerileri arasındaki farkları ortaya koymaya çalışmaktır. Yüz ve duygu tanıma becerilerinin bazı demografik değişkenlerden etkilenip etkilenmediği anlamakta araştırmanın bir diğer amacıdır. Ayrıca araştırma içerisinde katılımcıların sahip oldukları kişilik özelliklerinin yüz ve duygu tanıma üzerindeki etkisi de anlaşılmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışmaya, 50 sedanter ve 50 olimpiyatlara hazırlanan üst düzey sporcu (26 güreş, 12 kano (durgunsu-akarsu) ve 12 halter spor dallarında) olmak üzere toplamda 100 (Ortyas=20,44±2,06) katılımcı katılmıştır. Katılımcıların 55’i erkek 45’i ise kadın katılımcılardan oluşmaktadır. Katılımcıların yüz ve duygu tanıma becerilerini test etmek için SuperLab 5 programı ile dizayn edilen POFA (Pictures of Facial Affect) kullanılmıştır. Kişilik özelliklerini belirlemek amacıyla Somer ve ark., (2001) tarafından geliştirilmiş ve Tatar (2005) tarafından kısa formunun geçerliği ve güvenirliliği yapılmış 5 Faktör Kişilik Envanteri kullanılmıştır. İstatistik testlerin yapılmasında IBM SPSS 26.0 İstatistik programı kullanılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda olimpiyat sporcuları sedanter bireylere oranla yüz ve duygu tanıma becerilerinde anlamlı şekilde daha yüksek skorlar elde etmiştir. Ayrıca olimpiyat sporcuları arasında gelişime açıklık alt boyutu ile yüz ve duygu tanıma becerileri arasında anlamlı ilişkilere rastlanmıştır.
