        This study aims to evaluate the attitudes of university students towards sports by examining specific variables. The target population includes students from Yalova University Çınarcık Vocational School for the 2023-2024 academic year. A total of 307 students participated voluntarily, consisting of 117 males and 190 females. To assess the students' attitudes towards sports, the Attitude Towards Sport Scale developed by Koçak (2014) was utilized. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS 20 software, with a statistical significance level established at p<0.05. Various descriptive statistics, including frequency and percentage analyses, independent samples t-tests, and one-way ANOVA tests, were conducted to interpret the data. The results indicated that age did not have a statistically significant impact on the overall attitude score related to sports or on its sub-dimensions pertaining to physical, mental, or psychosocial development (p>0.05). Conversely, significant differences were noted in both the total score and sub-dimensions of sports attitudes based on students' engagement with sports-related content through electronic media, such as television, computers, and smartphones (p<0.05). In contrast, the factor of family involvement in sports activities showed no significant differences in the total score or the attitude sub-dimensions (p>0.05). "The Ethics Committee approval required for your research was obtained with the decision numbered 2024/78, made at the meeting of the Ethics Committee for Scientific Research in Social and Human Sciences of … University, dated 07.05.2024."
        Bu çalışmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinin spora karşı tutumlarının belirli değişkenler ışığında değerlendirilmesidir. Araştırmanın hedef kitlesini, 2023-2024 akademik yılı boyunca Yalova Üniversitesi Çınarcık Meslek Yüksekokulu'nda öğrenim gören öğrenciler oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada, gönüllü olarak katılan toplam 307 öğrenci, bunlardan 117'si erkek ve 190'ı kadındır. Öğrencilerin spora yönelik tutumları, Koçak (2014) tarafından geliştirilen Spora Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği aracılığıyla değerlendirilmiştir. Veri analizi, SPSS 20 yazılımı kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiş ve istatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi p<0.05 olarak belirlenmiştir. Verilerin analizinde, frekans ve yüzde analizleri, aritmetik ortalama, bağımsız örneklem t-testi ve tek yönlü ANOVA testleri kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçları, yaş değişkenine göre spora yönelik tutumun toplam puanı ile fiziksel, zihinsel ve psiko-sosyal gelişim alt boyutları arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmadığını göstermektedir (p>0.05). Bununla birlikte, öğrencilerin elektronik cihazlar (televizyon, bilgisayar, akıllı telefon gibi) aracılığıyla spor içeriklerini takip etme durumlarına göre spora yönelik tutum puanları ve alt boyutlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar gözlemlenmiştir (p<0.05). Öte yandan, öğrencilerin ailelerinin spor yapma alışkanlıkları ile spora yönelik tutum toplam puanı ve alt boyutları arasında anlamlı bir fark tespit edilmemiştir (p>0.05).
