Abstract:

The aim of this study is to determine the level of anger of the athletes taking part in Adults National Team eliminations. The sample group consists of 52 females, 115 males, totally 167 elite athletes took part in the eliminations. The average of age for females was 20, 38, and 20, 99 for males. In order to identify the level, Spielberg’s four-dimensional Schedule whose validity and reliability for our country was adapted to by Özer in 1994, developed by Spielberg in 1983 was used. As a result of analysis made, no outstanding difference of anger level was found between males and females in terms of permanent anger factor(p=0,579); similarly no significant difference was discovered in respect to sub factor of anger-out (p=0,315). Also in analysis of anger-in (p=0.673) and anger-out (p=0.290) sub scales, important difference wasn’t pointed out between male and female athletes.
