Koç, Yakup; Özkan, Rıdvan; Seçer, Emrah
This study was conducted to determine the effect of perceived stress on sportsmanship behaviour and the mediating role of perceived social support in this effect. This study used quantitative research methods and a survey design. The study group consisted of 268 university students enrolled in sports science faculties (175 male, 93 female). Data were collected using the Perceived Stress Scale, the Physical Education Course Sportsmanship Behavior Scale, and the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale. During the analysis, a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted in AMOS 21 to validate the scales' factor structure. To test the study's hypotheses, correlation analysis was performed in SPSS 25, and Bootstrap-based regression analysis (model 4) was applied using the Process Macro add-on developed by Hayes (2022). The study found statistically significant positive correlations between PS and SB, between PS and PSS, and between PSS and SB. Bootstrap regression analysis revealed that PS had a significant effect on PSS. When no mediating variable was added to the model, it was determined that PS was not a predictor of SB. When PS was held constant, PSS was found to have a significant effect on SB. Finally, it was found that PS had a significant indirect effect on SB through PSS. The study found that perceived stress does not directly affect sportsmanship behaviour among sports science students, but that perceived social support, as a mediating variable, increases this behaviour.

Introduction – The present study aimed to examine the effect of sport mindfulness on athlete burnout among Olympic combat sport athletes and to investigate the mediating role of athlete self-compassion and the moderating role of emotion regulation in this relationship. Methods – This study employed a cross-sectional correlational research design and included 379 athletes (279 men and 100 women) actively competing in Olympic combat sports. Data were collected using the Mindfulness Inventory for Sport, the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire, the Self-Compassion Scale–Athlete Version-Short Form and the Athlete Emotion Regulation Scale. The construct validity of the measurement instruments was evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis. Relationships among the study variables were examined using Pearson correlation analysis. The proposed hypotheses were tested using the PROCESS macro, specifically Models 4, 1, and 14. Results – The findings indicated that sport mindfulness positively and significantly predicted athlete self-compassion (B = 0.155, p < 0.001). Athlete self-compassion, in turn, was found to have a significant negative effect on athlete burnout (B = −0.798, p < 0.001). Furthermore, the interaction between athlete self-compassion and emotion regulation significantly predicted athlete burnout (B = −0.060, p < 0.001). The moderated mediation analysis demonstrated that emotion regulation significantly moderated the indirect association between sport mindfulness and athlete burnout (Index = −0.009). Examination of the conditional indirect effects revealed that the burnout-reducing effect of sport mindfulness through athlete self-compassion was stronger among athletes with higher levels of emotion regulation. Conclusion – The findings suggest that the association between sport mindfulness and athlete burnout cannot be explained solely by a direct relationship. Rather, this relationship operates through athlete self-compassion and varies according to athletes' levels of emotion regulation. These findings underscore the importance of integrating mindfulness-based skills, self-compassion development, and emotion regulation capacity into interventions designed to enhance psychological resilience and prevent burnout among combat sport athletes.

Introduction and aim: This study was conducted to determine the mediating role of positive future expectations in the effect of future attitudes on future anxiety. Method: This study employed quantitative research methods and a survey model. The study group consisted of 269 university students enrolled in sports science faculties (160 male, 109 female). Data were collected using the Attitudes Toward Future Scale (ATF), Future Anxiety Scale in University Students (FAS), and the Positive Future Expectation Scale (PEF). During the analysis process, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was first conducted using the AMOS 21 program to validate the factor structure of the scales. To test the research hypotheses, correlation analysis was performed using the SPSS 25 program, and Bootstrap-based regression analysis was applied using the Process Macro add-on developed by Hayes (2022). Results: The study found statistically significant moderate correlations between ATF and FAS, between ATF and PEF, and between FAS and PEF. Bootstrap regression analysis revealed that ATF had a significant effect on PEF (β = 0.182; p <.001). When a mediator variable was added to the model, it was determined that ATF was not a predictor of FAS (b: 0.052; p >.050). When ATF was held constant, it was determined that PEF had a significant effect on FAS (-2.124, p<.001). Finally, it was determined that ATF had a significant indirect effect on FAS through PEF (-0.387; p<.001). Conclusion: The study found that the attitudes of sports science students toward the future affect their anxiety about the future, and that positive expectations for the future play an important role in reducing this anxiety.

Introduction and aim – The present study aimed to examine the effect of enjoyment of physical activities on intention to continue sport participation and to determine the mediating role of sport engagement and the moderating role of perceived social support in this relationship. Methods – This correlational study included 748 athletes (445 males, 303 females, M = 23.10, SD = 5.59). The Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale, Intention to Continue Sport Scale, Sport Engagement Scale, and Perceived Social Support Scale–Short Form were used as data collection instruments. The measurement model and construct validity of the scales were tested using confirmatory factor analysis (AMOS 21). Hypotheses were tested in SPSS 25 using PROCESS Macro models (4, 1, and 14). Results – To test the first hypothesis, the mediation effect was examined using PROCESS Model 4 (PACES → SES → ICSS). The indirect effect of PACES on ICSS via SES was found to be significant (b = 0.230, 95% CI [0.184, 0.279]). For the second hypothesis, PROCESS Model 1 was applied. The main effect of perceived social support (PSS) was not significant (b = 0.076, p > .05), whereas the interaction term representing the SES × PSS interaction was significant (b = −0.0147, 95% CI [−0.0245, −0.0049]), indicating that perceived social support moderated the relationship between sport engagement and intention to continue sport participation. To test the third hypothesis, a moderated mediation model (PROCESS Model 14) was conducted with PSS as a moderator. The index of moderated mediation was significant (b = −0.010, 95% CI [−0.020, −0.0005]), showing that perceived social support moderated the indirect effect of PACES on ICSS through SES. Conclusion – The findings revealed that the indirect effect of enjoyment of physical activities on intention to continue sport participation through sport engagement was stronger among athletes with lower perceived social support.

Seçer, Emrah
Introductıon and aim: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between physical education and sports teachers' perceptions of workload and their psychological well-being, and to evaluate the roles of psychological resilience and perceived social support in this relationship. Method: The study employed a correlational survey design, and 276 physical education and sports teachers from public schools in Turkey participated. Data collection tools included the Teacher Workload Scale (TWP), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), the Psychological Well-being Scale (PWB), and the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSS). The validity of the measurement models was tested using confirmatory factor analysis, and the hypotheses were evaluated using Hayes' Process Macro (Models 1, 4, and 7) and SPSS 25. Results: Under the first hypothesis, the indirect effect of workload on psychological well-being via psychological resilience was significant (b = −0.234, 95% CI [−0.327, −0.142]), explaining approximately 57% of the total variance. In the second hypothesis, perceived social support was found to moderate the relationship between workload and psychological resilience. At high levels of social support, the negative effect of workload on psychological resilience weakened (b = −0.079, 95% CI [−0.184, 0.025]). Within the scope of the third hypothesis, moderates mediation analysis showed that social support significantly mediated the indirect effect of workload on psychological well-being through psychological resilience (b = 0.004, 95% CI [0.001, 0.008]). While negative effects were evident at low levels of social support, they decreased significantly at high levels. Conclusion: The study reveals that the negative effect of teacher workload on psychological well-being operates through psychological resilience, and that perceived social support can mitigate these effects by moderating this process. The findings show that teachers' psychological resilience and social support resources play a critical role in mitigating the negative effects of workload. Educational policies and practices can be designed within the framework of workload management, strengthening social support mechanisms, and resilience-building programs.

Social media addiction is a phenomenon that may adversely affect adolescent mental health and is increasingly recognized as a public health concern by international authorities such as the World Health Organization. Understanding the potential mechanisms underlying the association between social media addiction and psychological well-being is important for informing effective intervention strategies. This study aimed to examine the sequential mediating role of physical activity and loneliness in the association between social media addiction and adolescents’ psychological well-being. This cross-sectional study included 290 high school students (mean age = 15.73; 59% female, 41% male) enrolled in high schools in Türkiye. Data were collected using the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the UCLA Loneliness Scale (Short Form), and the Psychological Well-Being Scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Normality assumptions were first examined, followed by descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analyses to assess the relationships among the study variables. Subsequently, Hayes’ PROCESS Macro Model 6, a bootstrap-based sequential mediation analysis, was employed to examine the hypothesized indirect associations. Social media addiction was significantly and negatively associated with psychological well-being. The sequential mediation analysis indicated that social media addiction is associated with lower levels of physical activity, which in turn is associated with higher levels of loneliness, and that the proposed sequential indirect association with psychological well-being was statistically significant (indirect effect = -0.0259, 95% CI [-0.0488, -0.0072]). Conclusion The results indicate that physical activity and loneliness may represent an important sequential pathway in the association between social media addiction and adolescents’ psychological well-being. Accordingly, public health interventions targeting adolescent mental health may benefit from addressing social media use while also promoting physical activity as a potential component of strategies to support psychological well-being.

Data were collected using the Effective Coping Strategies Scale (SCA), Satisfaction with Life Scale (LSS) and Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale (SMPSS). The validity of the measurement model was tested through confirmatory factor analysis with the AMOS 26 program. Hypotheses were tested with Pearson correlation analysis and bootstrap-based regression analysis using Hayes' Process Macro (Model 4). A positive and significant relationship was found between coping strategies and life satisfaction (r = 0.44, p < 0.001). Similarly, a strong positive correlation was found between coping strategies and perceived social support (r = 0.84, p < 0.001). Regression results showed that coping strategies significantly influenced perceived social support. When the mediator variable was included in the model, coping strategies remained a significant predictor of life satisfaction. Perceived social support also had a significant effect on life satisfaction, controlling for coping strategies. Furthermore, the indirect effect of coping strategies on life satisfaction was significant through perceived social support. The findings suggest that effective coping strategies are an important mediator of perceived social support in increasing life satisfaction. These results emphasize the role of social support on psychological well-being and support the positive contribution of coping strategies to life satisfaction.

Introduction and Purpose: This study investigated how sports science university students perceive social support (PSS), its influence on their academic engagement, and the mechanisms that mediate this relationship. Methodology: A total of 466 students (316 males, 150 females) from the Faculty of Sports Sciences participated in the study, which used a relational screening model. Data were collected using the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale, the University Students School Engagement Scale, the School Alienation Scale, and the Social Media Addiction Scale. The measurement model was validated through confirmatory factor analysis, followed by correlation testing and regression analysis using the Bootstrap method to evaluate the study's hypotheses. Results: The analysis identified a positive correlation between PSS and school engagement (SE) (r = 0.45, p < 0.001). In contrast, PSS showed negative correlations with both school alienation (SA) (r =-0.209, p < 0.01) and social media addiction (SMA) (r = −0.113, p < 0.01) (Hypothesis I). Regression analysis using the Bootstrap method revealed a significant indirect effect of PSS on SE via SA (Hypothesis II) [β = 0.181, p < 0.001, 95% Confıdence Interval (CI) = (0.003, 0.039)]. Additionally, SMA moderated the indirect effect of PSS on SE via SA (Hypothesis III) [Situational mediator index = −0.018, Boot SE = 0.001, Boot 95% CI = (−0.003, −0.0001)]. The indirect effect was stronger for individuals with low SMA [Indirect effect = 0.034, Boot SE = 0.182, Boot 95% CI = (0.007, 0.078)] compared to those with high SMA [Indirect effect = 0.018, Boot SE = 0.009, Boot 95% CI = (0.005, 0.0416)]. Conclusion: The findings support all three hypotheses in the study's theoretical framework, confirming the proposed relationships and underlying mechanisms.

Seçer, Emrah; Malli, Ahmet Yavuz; Eki̇nci̇, Hasan Buğra; Esentürk, Oğuz Kaan
Purpose: This study examines how teachers' perceptions of their principal's trust in them are associated with their organizational commitment, with a particular focus on the mediating role of marginalization and isolation. Methodology: Data were collected from 247 physical education and sports teachers using validated instruments measuring perceived principal trust, organizational commitment, and marginalization and isolation. Confirmatory factor analysis and bootstrap mediation analyses were conducted. Results: The findings revealed that perceived principal trust was positively associated with organizational commitment and negatively associated with marginalization and isolation. Higher levels of perceived trust corresponded with lower feelings of marginalization and isolation, which in turn were linked to more substantial organizational commitment. The indirect effect of marginalization and isolation was statistically significant, providing support for the mediation hypothesis. Conclusion: Acknowledging the study's cross-sectional design, the results suggest that leadership practices aimed at enhancing teachers' perception of being trusted are crucial for mitigating feelings of marginalization and fostering organizational commitment. Practical implications involve promoting leadership behaviors that not only build trust but also actively and clearly signal it, thereby creating a more inclusive and supportive school environment where all teachers feel valued.
