Duyan, Mehdi; Günel, Ilker
African Educational Research Journal, v9 n1 p75-85 Jan 2021
The purpose of this study was to examine exercise addiction and social appearance anxiety levels of students studying at the faculty of sports sciences in terms of various variables. There were 170 participants in the study. "Personal Information Form", "Exercise Addiction Scale" and "Social Appearance Anxiety Scale" were applied to the participants. Whether the data provided the assumption of normality was evaluated by the skewness and kurtosis test. It was decided that the values obtained as a result of the analysis provided the assumption of normality; therefore it was deemed appropriate to apply parametric tests. Frequency, percentage, t-test, One-Way ANOVA and Post Hoc (Scheffe) test statistics were used to analyze the data. As a result, it was determined that participants who regularly received sports services at least 2 days a week had low levels of general exercise addiction and social appearance anxiety. In this context, it can be said that individuals' exercise addiction and social appearance anxiety levels were low. Therefore, it can be said that the physical and mental benefits individuals got from sports activities enabled them to be more at peace with themselves, as the participants who received sports services made their exercise a habit to protect their health in daily life.
