Investıgatıon Of Psychologıcal Resılıence And Self Confıdence Levels Of Volleyball Player

The aim of the study was to examine the psychological resilience and self-confidence levels of athletes playing volleyball in different leagues and to evaluate the results. The research population consists of 202 athletes, 125 female and 77 male, playing volleyball in different leagues in Ankara Province in the 2024-2025 volleyball league season. In the study, two scales were applied to the participants together with a personal information form as a data collection tool. The first of the scales is the ‘Psychological Resilience Scale (PRS)’ developed by Işık (2016) to determine the level of psychological resilience. In the PBL, which consists of 21 items expressing the individual's beliefs about life and self, reverse scoring is performed in the 2nd and 15th items. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed to determine the construct validity of this scale and it was stated that the scale consisted of 21 items and 3 sub-dimensions. The second scale is the 33-item Self-Confidence Scale developed by (Akın, 2007). The scale consists of two sub-dimensions: intrinsic self-confidence and extrinsic self-confidence. When the items gathered under two factors were analysed, it was found that the items in the first factor were more related to the self-confidence of individuals towards themselves and the items loaded on the second factor were more related to the self-confidence of individuals towards their external environment and social life, so this factor was named as external self-confidence (Akın, 2007). In order to obtain the necessary data in the research, SPSS21 Package Programme was used in the analysis of the data. As a result, it was determined that there was a positive, moderately significant relationship between self-confidence and psychological resilience according to the number of training of the participants, but there was no significant result between the other variables.
