@article{2018,title={THE INVESTIGATION OF SUBJECTIVE WELL BEING AND BASIC PSYCHOLOGICAL DEMANDS OF ATHLETE AND SEDENTARY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS},abstractNode={This study is a descriptive study aimed at determining subjective well-being and basic psychological needs of athletes and sedentary university students. The model of the research was determined as the causal comparison model. The universe of the study consists of the students who are studying at Gaziantep University in 2016-2017 academic year. The sample group of the study consisted of 436 university students selected on a randomized basis and on a voluntary basis. In obtaining research data the "Subjective Well-Being Scale" developed by Tuzgöl (2005) and the " Basic Psychological Needs Scale" developed by Deci and Ryan (2000) was used. SPSS 22 (SPSS for Windows. 16.08. 2008. SPSS Inc.. Chicago. Illinois. ABD) packet programme was used to analyzing obtaining data. Independent Samples T test and One Way ANOVA test used for analysis of data. As a result, it has been determined that the students who are studying in the sport sciences have higher subjective well being and basic psychological needs characteristics than the students who are educated in other parts. In addition, it has been determined that the basic psychological needs and subjective well-being of university students are high. A strong association was found between the subjective well-being of the female university students and the need for autonomy in the positive direction. The relationship between the other sub-dimensions and the sub-dimensions of the basic psychological needs scale was moderate and positive. Male university students, on the other hand, have a relationship between subjective well-being and autonomy and relationship needs in a strong and positive way. The need for competency and the sub-dimensions of the baseline psychological needs scale are found to be moderately and positively related to each other. Therefore, when the basic psychological needs of university students are increased, we can say that subjective well-being is also increasing.},author={Ayten ACUN-- Fikret ALINCAK - Uğur ABAKAY},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
