Examining the psychological resilience and goal commitment levels of university students in sports sciences and other departments in terms of different variables

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the psychological resilience and goal commitment levels of university students who do and do not engage in sports in terms of certain variables. The research was conducted using the survey model, one of the quantitative research methods. The population of the study consists of students at the university level, while the sample of the study consists of 1494 students studying at Dicle University, determined using the convenient sampling method. As data collection tools, a Personal Information Form created by the researcher, the Child and Youth Resilience Measure, and the Goal Commitment Scale were used. It was determined that the data collected within the scope of the research showed a normal distribution, and descriptive statistical analyses and parametric tests were utilized. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the psychological resilience and goal commitment levels of male students participating in the study were significantly higher than those of female students, and the psychological resilience and goal commitment levels of fourth-year students were significantly higher than those of third-year students. However, no significant difference was found between the variables of age and department and the levels of psychological resilience and goal commitment.
