Publication: Sporda akıldışı inançların duygu, düşünce ve performans üzerindeki rolünün yapısal ve deneysel olarak incelenmesi
Abstract
Amaç: Araştırmanın temel amacı sporda akıldışı inançlar ile duygular, otomatik düşünceler ve algılanan performans arasındaki etkileşimin farklı araştırma desenlerine göre incelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmada birbirinden bağımsız iki çalışma yürütülmüştür. Çalışma 1 395 katılımcı ile gerçekleşmiştir ve akıldışı performans inançları ile duygu, otomatik düşünce ve algılanan performans arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesinde yapısal eşitlik modellemesi kullanılmıştır. Çalışma 2’de ise üç kadın voleybolcunun katıldığı, beş oturumdan oluşan Akılcı Duygusal Davranışçı Terapi uygulaması ile birlikte iki kadın voleybolcunun katıldığı Motivasyonel Görüşme ile birlikte Akılcı Duygusal Davranışçı Terapi uygulaması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Uygulamalar çoklu başlama düzeyinde tek denekli AB ve ABC desenlerine göre yapılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde etki büyüklüğü ve görsel analizler kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışma 1’de akıldışı inançların duygular ve otomatik düşünceler aracılığıyla algılanan performansı düşürdüğü bulunmuştur. Çalışma 2’de Akılcı Duygusal Davranışçı Terapi uygulamasına ve Akılcı Duygusal Davranışçı Terapi ile birlikte motivasyonel görüşme uygulamalarına katılan sporcuların akıldışı inanç, olumsuz duygu ve olumsuz otomatik düşüncelerinde düşüş, olumlu duygu, olumlu otomatik düşünce ve algılanan performans puanlarında artış görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte motivasyonel görüşme ile birlikte Akılcı Duygusal Davranışçı Terapi uygulamalarına katılan sporcuların olumlu duygu, olumlu otomatik düşünce ve algılanan performans puanlarında gözlenen değişimin daha güçlü olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç: Araştırmada gerçekleştirilen yapısal ve deneysel inceleme sporcuların performanslarına yönelik akıldışı inançları azaldığı zaman algılanan performanslarında artış olacağını göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte akıldışı inançlarda olan azalma otomatik düşünce ve duygulara da olumlu etki yapmaktadır. Uygulamaların motivasyonel görüşme ile birlikte yapılması ise olumlu yapılara daha fazla katkı yapma potansiyeline sahiptir.
Objective: The main aim of this study was to examine the interaction among irrational beliefs, emotions, automatic thoughts, and perceived performance in athletes with different research designs. Material and Methods: Two independent studies were conducted in this thesis. Three hundred ninty five athletes participated in Study 1 and the relationship among irrational performance beliefs, emotions, automatic thoughts, and perceived performance were examined by using structural equation modeling. Study 2 was conducted to test the effects of five sessions Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy and motivational interviewing with five sessions Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy on irrational performance beliefs, emotions, automatic thoughts, and perceived performance in female volleyball players. Single-case multiple baseline AB and ABC design were employed in the interventions. Effect size and visual analysis were used in the data analysis. Results: Study 1 demonstrated that irrational beliefs reduced perceived performance through emotions and automatic thoughts. Study 2 indicated that both Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy interventions lead to decrease in irrational beliefs, negative emotions, and negative automatic thoughts, and increase positive emotions, positive automatic thoughts, and perceived performance. In addition, female volleyball players who participated motivational interviewing with Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy intervention improved their score more on positive emotions, positive automatic thoughts, and perceived performance than female players who participated only Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy group. Conclusion: Structural and experimental analysis showed that as the irrational beliefs of the athletes decreased, their perceived performance will increase. Furthermore, the decrease in irrational beliefs also has a positive effect on automatic thoughts and emotions. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy interventions with motivational interviewing has the potential to contribute more to positive psychological structures.
