In this study, the scanning model, which is one of the quantitative research designs, was used. Students were administered the empathy scale developed by Lawrence et al. and the self-confidence scale adapted by Akın. Our study was applied to four hundred students studying at Batman University School of Physical Education and Sports. The obtained data were analyzed in the SPSS program and the findings were interpreted. In the program, primarily descriptive statistics were used to indicate demographic characteristics and an unrelated sample t-test was applied to determine whether there was a significant difference between self-confidence and empathy levels and the variables of gender and whether they were involved in sports or not. One-factor analysis of variance (Anova) test was performed to determine whether there was a significant difference between self-confidence and empathy levels and age, department, grade level, grade point average, and sports branch of interest. As a result of the study, it was found that there was a significant difference between the empathy levels of the participant students and the gender and class variable. It was observed that there was no significant difference between students’ empathy levels and age, students’ academic grade point average, whether they did sports or not, and the sports branches they were interested in. It has been observed that there is no significant difference or relationship between students’ self-confidence levels and gender, age, grade point average, sports status, and sports branches they are interested in. However, there was a significant difference between students’ self-confidence levels and the department they studied. It is also seen that there is a significant difference between the self-confidence levels of the students and the variable of the class they study.","PeriodicalId":479947,"journal":{"name":"International Education Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135926466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
