Introduction

When the origin of the term “motivation” is investigated, we come across; motus, which means movement in Latin (ADAIR, 2003). The reasons underlying the behaviors of human beings throughout their lives are discussed within the framework of the concept of motive (HAZAR et al., 2018). Motivation, which directs individuals to behavior and is the most important concept in shaping behaviors, is defined as the force that directs behavior (ROBERTS et al., 2007). Motivation creates the stimulation, direction and continuity of the behavior (FRANKEN, 1994).

Motivation can be defined as various internal and external factors that push the organism to the behavior, determine the regularity and continuity of these behaviors, give direction and purpose to the behavior, and the mechanisms that ensure their functioning (AYDIN, 2001). When our motives are examined in general, they are divided into two main categories. Extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivation is not a situation that is directly related to the athlete himself. It is the positive or negative effects of various situations occurring in the external environment on the athlete. In other words, extrinsic motivation is self-created behavior (LUG, 1995). Extrinsic motivation includes influences from outside the individual. Extrinsic motivation is reinforcement that can have negative and positive effects through other people, increase or decrease the likelihood of repetition of the behavior, and carry material and moral values. External rewards (medals, cups, money, etc.) can come from material means, as well as from intangible resources (to gain respect, appreciation, praise, etc.) (TÜRKMEN, 2005).

On the other hand, intrinsic motivation is the response to the needs of the person. Curiousty, knowing, wish to be sufficient and desire to develop can be given as examples of internal motives (SELÇUK, 1996). Intrinsic motivation, in short, is self-motivation. Intrinsically motivated people have an intrinsic hunger to be resourceful. These people have the ability to manage themselves in order to be successful (NICHOLLS, 1992). An intrinsically motivated person transforms thought into action, sets goals and takes action to achieve them (GEORGE, 1997).

Emotion: The state of feeling or consciousness that is caused by an external stimulant feature (sound, smell, color, shape, temperature, taste) or a change in the human body (hunger, thirst, nausea, sexual excitement) (BUDAK, 2001). Positive Emotion: It is the state that people reflect themselves as enthusiastic, active, excited, alert. Positive emotionality includes curious (interested), excited, strong, enthusiastic and alert (alive) emotions (WATSON et al., 1988). Negative Emotion: Includes a variety of impulsive emotional states such as anger, contempt, disgust, guilt, fear, and timidity. It is expressed as the general measure of responsibility that creates personal distress and does not give pleasure to people (WATSAN, 1988). According to Myers and Derakshan (2004), emotion is defined as a psychophysiological whole that occurs when cognitive processes in the individual affect environmental processes. Emotions, which are handled with different dimensions according to different theoretical approaches, affect individuals in many areas (GROSS, 1999). It is stated that emotions have many effects on the decision-making process, such as preparing motor reactions, improving learning, and regulating social behaviors.

Sport allows the individual to get rid of his own narrow world and to be in dialogue with people from other people, beliefs and thoughts, to be influenced by them and to influence them. With this aspect, it can be said that sport supports the establishment and reinforcement of new friendships and social cohesion (BUĞDAYCI, 2000). Achievement motivation approach sees motivation situations as the basis of sportive behavior. These motivation situations are named as the motivation to approach success and the motivation to avoid failure (DOĞAN, 2005). If the reason for motivation differences can be understood, it may be easier to motivate people in the positive direction. Motivation for success in sports emerges as a result of the increase in the expectations of the athlete for the future. The pleasure and satisfaction of accomplishing a job creates new demands and new expectations in the athlete for future success. This motivation is called achievement motivation in sports (TURHAN, 2009). Ntuomanis (2005) stated that students who are intrinsically motivated in physical education classes enjoy the lessons and are not bored; asserted that the intrinsic motivation experienced in physical education and sports classes is the most determining factor in gaining the habit of leading a physically active life after school years. As the job satisfaction of individuals working in sports environments increases, the benefit they will provide within the organization increases (SUNAY et al., 2020). The fact that hearing-impaired students to devote significant amount of time on physical education and sports activities, raising awareness in the society, representing their country in the Paralympic games shows that they have a positive attitude towards physical education and sports (DALBUDAK; YIGIT, 2019).

Today, physical education and sports are conscious and planned activities that aim at the physical, social and emotional development of human beings, who are the main source of the growing generations, and are accepted as an integral and complementary part of general education (YILDIRAN, 1996). While motivation in sports is an important factor that complements each other, it is one of the main factors that strengthen the focus and desire to win in order to reach the goals of the athletes. People sometimes feel sad and unhappy. Leaving your job, losing a loved one or not being successful are life events that cause sadness. (ACAR et al., 2017). The athlete who loses the match does not enjoy this situation, but starts to think differently after getting through a lot with the support of his trainer and relatives (ALAEDDINOĞLU, 2021).

Methodology

In this research, as data collection tools, Personal Information Form, prepared by the researcher, the Panas scale which was developed by Watson et al. (1988) and adapted into Turkish by Gençöz (2000) and which examines emotional states with positive and negative dimensions, and The Sports Motivation Scale which was developed by Pelletier et al. (1995) and adapted into Turkish by Kazak (2004), were used.

Data Analysis

1) Panas Scale (Positive and Negative Affect Scale)Importar lista

Each question in the Panas Scale can be scored between 1 and 5 and there are 20 questions. 1: very little, 2: a little, 3: mean, 4: quite, and 5: a lot. A score between 20 and 100 can be obtained from the scale. If the total score is close to 100, it means that the individual has had a lot of emotional intensity in the last two weeks, while a score close to 20 means that the emotional intensity is low. The scale has two basic sub-dimensions. It consists of 10 statements in two sub-dimensions, so the total score that can be obtained for both sub-dimensions is between 10 and 50. A total score close to 10 indicates low positive or negative emotion, and close to 50 indicates the intensity of these emotions.

1) Positive emotion: questions 1 – 3 – 5 – 9 – 10 – 12 – 14 – 16 – 17 – 19.

2) Negative emotion: questions 2 – 4 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 11 – 13 – 15 – 18 – 20.

When the skewness and kurtosis values of the Scale and Subscales are examined, it is seen that all of them are between -2 and +2. If the skewness and kurtosis values are between -2 and +2, the assumption of normal distribution can be accepted for the scale score values. (GEORGE; MALLERY, 2010). The Cronbach’s Alpha value, which measures the reliability of the “Panas Scale” in which 441 individuals participated, was found α=0,896. In addition, the Cronbach’s Alpha value of the positive affect sub-dimension was α=0,827 and the Cronbach’s Alpha value of the negative affect sub-dimension was α=0,815. It is concluded that the Panas Scale and its Sub-Dimensions are quite reliable and acceptable.

2) Sports Motivation Scale

Each question in the Sports Motivation Scale can be scored between 1 and 7 and there are 28 questions. An option from 1 to 7 is marked, with 1: not appropriate, 4: moderately appropriate and 7: completely appropriate. A score between 28 and 196 can be obtained from the scale. The higher the total score, the higher the individuals’ motivation for sports is.

The scale has six basic sub-dimensions.

1) Knowing and achieving: questions 2 – 4 – 8 – 12 – 15 – 20 – 23 – 27 (between 8 and 56 points can be obtained).

2) Stimulating living: questions 1 – 13 – 18 – 25 (between 4 and 28 points can be obtained).

3) External regulation: 6 – 10 – 16 – 22 questions (between 4 and 28 points can be obtained).

4) Introjection: 9 – 14 – 21 – 26 questions (between 4 and 28 points can be obtained).

5) Identification: 7 – 11 – 17 – 24 questions (between 4 and 28 points can be obtained).

6) Amotivation: 3 – 5 – 19 – 28 questions (between 4 and 28 points can be obtained) items of the non-motivation sub-dimension are reverse scored. The higher the unmotivated sub-dimension score, the higher the individual’s motivation.

When the skewness and kurtosis values of the Scale and Subscales are examined, it is seen that all of them are between -2 and +2. If the skewness and kurtosis values are between -2 and +2, the assumption of normal distribution can be accepted for the scale score values (George And Mallery, 2010). The Cronbach’s Alpha value, which measures the reliability of the SM Scale, in which 441 individuals participated, was found to be α=0,901. In addition, Cronbach’s Alpha value α=0,875 for knowing and achieving sub-dimension, Cronbach’s Alpha value for stimulating living sub-dimension α=0,750, and Cronbach’s Alpha value for external regulation sub-dimension. Value of α=0,785, Cronbach’s Alpha value of introjection sub-dimension α=0,698, Cronbach’s Alpha value α=0,745 of identification sub-dimension and Cronbach’s Alpha value α=0,683 of amotivation sub-dimension.

Analysis of “Panas Scale” and sub-dimension scores according to students’ demographic characteristics

In the tables below, summary statistics based on the demographic characteristics of the scale score means are given. In addition, since the mean scores of the scale and subscales provided the assumption of normal distribution, independent samples were tested with t-test and the differences between the groups were tested with the One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests, and from which groups the differences originated was tested with the Tukey Post Hoc test.

There is a significant difference at %95 confidence level in the Panas scale and sub-dimension scores of individuals according to their gender (p<0.05). Accordingly, men’s positive emotion intensity is higher than women’s, and women’s negative emotion intensity is higher than men’s. Also, men have higher Panas scale scores than women and men have higher overall emotional intensity than women.

According to the age of the individuals, the total scores of the amotivation sub-dimension show a statistically significant difference (p<0,05). According to this, it is concluded that as the age of the individuals increases, the total scores of the non-motivation sub-dimension decrease, that is, the feelings of motivation increase as the age increases. Other sub-dimensions and SG scale do not differ according to age (p>0,05).

When the correlation table above was examined, a positive relationship was obtained between the Panas scale and the sports motivation scale. In addition, a positive relationship was achieved between the positive emotion sub-dimension and the SM scale, and a negative relationship between negative emotion and the sports motivation scale. An increase in the intensity of positive emotions of individuals increases their motivation in sports, while an increase in the intensity of negative emotions decreases motivation in sports.

Discussion and Conclusion

In this section, the discussion and interpretation of the findings that emerged as a result of the analysis of the data from the research are included.

There is a significant difference in the Panas scale and sub-dimension scores of the individuals at the 95% confidence level according to their gender (p<0,05). Accordingly, men’s positive emotion intensity is higher than women’s, and women’s negative emotion intensity is higher than men. Also, men have higher Panas scale scores than women and men have higher overall emotional intensity than women. It is seen that there are different opinions about the gender factor. The study conducted by Martinović et al. with 706 primary school students aged between 11 and 14, and it was observed that there were statistically significant differences between girls and boys. Boys scored higher than girls. Şirin et al. (2008) revealed that there is a statistically significant difference in favor of female students in the sub-dimensions of “entertainment”, “competition” and “acting/being active” between male and female students when the gender difference is examined.

Individuals’ Panas scale and sub-dimension scores do not show a statistically significant difference according to their age (p>0.05). Altıntaş et al. (2010), Salguero et al. (2004), Arslan and Altay (2009) studied the motivation of students to participate in sports in all sports branches. They found the most important reasons for participation as skill development and competition. Soyer et al. (2010) did not find a significant relationship between the ages of the participants and their motivation for success. These studies show parallelism with our study. The total scores of positive emotions and panas scale of individuals engaged in team sports are higher than individuals engaged in individual sports (p<0,05). Individuals’ negative emotion scores do not differ according to the sport branch (p>0,05).

Individuals’ Panas scale and sub-dimension scores do not differ significantly according to their active sport duration (p>0,05). Individuals’ Panas scale and negative emotion scores do not differ according to the number of sports they do per week (p>0,05). However, it was concluded that as the number of days of exercise in a week increases, the positive emotions of individuals also increase. Male individuals’ “external regulation”, “introjection” sub-dimension and “SM scale” total scores are higher than female individuals’ (p <0,05). In other sub-dimensions, no statistically significant difference was found according to gender (p>0.05). While Yigit (2019), Gacar (2013), Kılınç et al. (2012) determined that there was no difference in terms of gender in their studies examining the motivation levels of athletes, in the study conducted by Esentürk (2014), male athlete students were found to have higher level of extrinsic motivation than female athletes. In Kazak’s (2001) research in which he analyzed the motivational tendencies of elite volleyball players, he revealed that male volleyball players had higher scores than female volleyball players in the introjection sub-dimension of extrinsic motivation. In Kazak’s (2004) research on motivation and gender, a difference was revealed only in the sub-dimensions of external regulation, stimulating living and intrinsic motivation. The results obtained in this study also support our study findings.

According to the age of the individuals, the total scores of the “amotivation” sub-dimension show a statistically significant difference (p<0,05). According to this, it is concluded that as the ages of the individuals increase, the total scores of the amotivation sub-dimension decrease, that is, the feelings of motivation increase as the age increases. Other sub-dimensions and SM scale do not differ according to age (p>0,05). The “external regulation” sub-dimension and “SM scale” total score values of individuals engaged in team sports were higher than individuals interested in individual sports (p<0,05). In other sub-dimensions, no significant difference was found according to the sport branch (p>0,05).

On the basis of the result that the difference between individual sports and team sports psychological well-being of the students participating in the research is not statistically significant, it can be thought that is due to the fact that all of the students are engaged in sports and that the athletes have personality traits. The “external regulation” sub-dimension total score values of individuals who have been doing sports for 6 years or more were higher than those who have been doing sports for 5 or less years (p<0.05). In other sub-dimensions and SM scale, no significant difference was found according to active sports duration (p>0,05). Akman and Can (2019) observed that the external motivation level of the students who did orienteering for 5 years or more was higher than the students who were between 1 year and 2-4 years. Besides that, as the number of years of doing sports increases, it is observed that the level of external regulation also increases. There was a difference in external regulation in the sports motivation sub-scale of the students who did individual and team sports in the study which was done by Danışman (2011). In other words, as doing sports increases, external regulation increases. These studies support our work. The number of days in a week that individuals do sports does not make a statistically significant difference on the SM scale and its sub-dimensions (p>0,05). An increase in the intensity of positive emotions of individuals increases their motivation in sports, while an increase in the intensity of negative emotions decreases motivation in sports. Motivation is important for ensuring sustainability in sports environments (AKOĞLU et al., 2019).
