The Effect of Sports on Expected Confidence and Yakut Moral Intelligence Levels in Individuals

In this study, the impact of sports and various variables on the expected trust and ethical intelligence levels of university students was investigated. The research was conducted using a general survey model. Data collection instruments included a "Personal Information Form" developed by researchers, along with the "Expected Trust Scale" and "Ethical Intelligence Scale." Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software. Independent sample t-tests were employed for binary group comparisons based on the number of categories of the independent variable, while one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with post-hoc LSD tests was used for multiple groups. The relationship between the two scales was examined using Pearson correlation analysis. The analysis results were interpreted at a significance level of 0.05. In the study, it was observed that university students' expected trust and ethical intelligence attitudes were influenced by variables such as age, faculty of study, participation in sports, weekly duration of sports activity, type of sport, and age at which sports were started. Additionally, significant positive correlations were found between participants' levels of "Expected Trust" and "Ethical Intelligence." In conclusion, it was determined that sports significantly contribute to both expected trust and ethical intelligence attitudes.
