@article{2018,title={SPORTS STATUS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND INVESTIGATION OF PERSONALITY CHARACTERISTICS BY GENDER},abstractNode={The aim of this study is to compare the personal traits of high school students with and without sports training. The scale of 'Personal Traits Based on Characters' filled in by a total of 228 students, 110 from the Fine Arts and Sports High School and 118 from the Anatolian High School, was evaluated. T-test, one-way analysis of variance and LSD tests were used in the comparisons. There was no significant difference in personal traits such as extroversion and emotional instability in terms of gender (p>0,05). The differences between men and women in murkiness, responsibility and openness of experience were statistically significant (p<0,05 and p<0,001). There was a significant difference only in experience factor in terms of age category (p <0,05). Of the sports high school students, there was a significant difference in favour of team athletes when compared with the individual athletes (p<0,05). There was no significant difference in softness, responsibility, emotional instability and experience between the athletes interested in team sports and individual sports (p> 0,05). In women, significant differences were found in the subscale of personal traits based on characters before, during and after menstruation (p <0.05). It can be said that female students in high schools are better than male students in terms of experiential openness, murkiness and responsibility. There was no difference found in extroversion and emotional instability. It is concluded that the positive personal traits of team sportsmen are better than those who do individual sports and do not do any sports at all. It may be advisable for students who do not do any sports to get interested in some sports, and for the ones interested in individual sports to take part in team sports.},author={Osman İMAMOĞLU-- Feyzullah KOCA - Gülten İMAMOĞLU},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
