Journal Title: Journal of Human Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine the motivation cluster and physical self-perception profiles of elite athletes in individual branches based on gender and national team membership variables. A total of 243 athletes in different branches including 121 females (Meanage = 17,06 SDage = 1,883) and 122 males (Meanage = 17,40 SDage=1.99) participated in the study. In order to determine the motivation profiles of the athletes, the Sports Motivation Scale (SMS) was used and the Physical Self-Perception Profile (PSPP) was used to determine the physical perception profiles. Data analysis was conducted with correlation for variables composed of the subscales in both scales, Ward Method was used in hierarchical cluster analysis conducted to determine the motivational cluster profiles of the athletes, and 4 x 5 (Motivational Clusters x PSPP Sub-Scales) MANOVA analysis was conducted to determine the effect of the motivational profiles on physical self-perception of the athletes. Based on the study findings, the motivation types and self-perception profiles of the individual athletes included four motivational clusters. It was determined that the athletes with moderate motivation scored higher points in sports skills and body attractiveness subscales of the PSPP when compared to the athletes in other clusters. There were significant differences between the motivation levels of the athletes favoring the female athletes based on their gender, and based on their participation in the national team. Furthermore, it was determined that the motivation profiles of the athletes did not lead to a significant difference in their physical self-perceptions.

Özet Bu çalışmanın amacı, bireysel branşlarda elit düzeydeki sporcuların güdülenme küme profillerinin ve fiziksel benlik algı profillerinin belirlenerek cinsiyet ve millilik değişkenlerine göre incelenmesidir. Araştırmaya farklı branşlardan 121 kadın (Ortyaş=17,06 SSyaş=1,83) ve 122 erkek (Ortyaş=17,40 SSyaş=1,99) toplam 243 sporcu katılmıştır. Sporcuların güdülenme profillerinin belirlenmesi için Sporda Güdülenme Ölçeği (SMS) ve fiziksel algılama profillerinin belirlenmesi için ise, Kendini Fiziksel Algılama Envanteri (PSPP) kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde İki ölçeğinde alt ölçeklerinden oluşan değişkenler için korelasyon, sporcuların güdüsel küme profillerinin oluşturulmasında hiyerarşik küme analizinde Ward Yöntemi, oluşturulan güdüsel profillerinin sporcuların PSPP fiziksel benlik algılarında etkisinin araştırılması için 4 x 5 (Güdüsel Kümeler x PSPP Alt ölçekleri) MANOVA analizi uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, bireysel sporcuların motivasyon türleri ve kendini fiziksel algılama profilleri dört farklı güdüsel kümeden oluşmuştur. Ortalama motivasyonlu sporcuların PSPP’nin sportif yetenek ve vücut çekiciliği alt ölçeklerinde diğer kümelerdeki sporculara göre yüksek puan aldıkları belirlenmiştir. Sporcuların cinsiyetlerine göre motivasyon düzeyleri arasında kadınlar lehine anlamlı farklılık bulunurken, millilik durumlarına göre de milli sporcular lehine anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur. Ayrıca sporcuların güdülenme profillerinin fiziksel benlik algıları üzerinde anlamlı bir farklığa yol açmadığı tespit edilmiştir
