The aim of this study was to investigate the reasons why mountaineers participate in ice climbing activities and revealed the effect of this preference their self-confidence. For this, the data was collected in the 2. International Emrah Özbay Ice-climbing Festival, 22-26 January 2016 in Erzurum. The data was collected through “Participation Motivation Questionnaire” by Gill, Gross and Huddleston (1983) which was adapted into Turkish by Oyar et al. (2001); and “the Self-Confidence Scale” developed by Akın (2007). The data collected was analysed through statistical package program (SPSS 16.0) and the results were interpreted. One Way Anova, T-test and correlation statistics were used in statistical analysis. It was observed that the medium of reasons for participation in ice-climbing is low and self-confidence is high. A meaningful relationship was found between these athletes’ reasons for participation and their self-confidence (p<0,05). Meaningful results were gathered in terms of gender, marital status, age and years of ice-climbing experience. As a result, there was a reverse relationship between self-confidence and participation in ice-climbing. Self-confidence is an important influence on ice climbing.
The aim of this study is to examine the self-confidence relevance of the individuals who mountaineer and individuals who are part of search and rescue operations. Two hundred seventy nine persons voluntarily participated in the research. The research data was collected using the self-confidence scale developed by Akın (2007). There are a total of 33 articles in the scale. The scale is composed of two factors. These are the two sub dimensions being interior self-confidence and exterior self-confidence. The data collected was analyzed through the statistical package program (SPSS 16.0) and the results were interpreted. In our study, the Cronbach's Alpha Value of the scale was calculated as 0.89. The One Way ANOVA and T-test were used in the evaluation of the research data. In the research, as regards the gender, branch, experience, age and marital status, meaningful correlations were identified. As a result, athletes who performed search and rescue have higher self-confidence than those who mountaineer. Since both fields involve risky activities, it is recommended for the athletes who are involved in outdoor sports to be encouraged to get into search and rescue operations. Regular activities and training would improve self-confidence.

The Effect of Winter Mountaineering Training on Athlete Success and Permanency of Learning2021 •
Introduction and Purpose: The aim of this research is to examine the effects of athlete success and permanency of learning the winter mountaineering training given by the Turkish Mountaineering Federation. The research group consists of a total of 105 participants, 21 women (20%) and 84 men (80%) who attended the winter mountaineering training course organized by the Turkish Mountaineering Federation. Materials and Methods: In this study, quasi-experimental design was used in the research. A multiple-choice achievement test of 25 questions which includes knowledge and practice issues related to winter mountaineering education was prepared. The reliability analysis of the achievement test was made with the “ITEMAN” program. The pre-test-post-test data of the study were collected on 20-27 January 2019 on Zigana Mountain, and 4 weeks later, the permanency test data was collected on 28 February 2019 on Erciyes Mountain. In data analysis, for correlated samples (repeated measures) one-fa...

Self-Efficacy, Risk Taking and Performance In Rock Climbing2008 •
Self-efficacy may be associated with high risk behaviors in climbers operating at outdoor venues, though little is known about climbers recruited at indoor venues or less risky forms of rock climbing. Two-hundred and one active rock climbers (163 male) aged 16 to 62 years were recruited at five outdoor and six indoor climbing venues in Britain in a retrospective study. The relationship of self-efficacy to the frequency and difficulty of high and medium risk rock climbing behaviors was modelled using linear regression. Climbers high in self-efficacy engaged in both high and medium risk forms of rock climbing more frequently (β ≥ 0.18, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.04 - 0.32) and at a higher level of difficulty (β ≥ 0.20, 95% CI 0.04 - 0.36). These associations were attenuated slightly with adjustment for covariates, though all remained significant. The same pattern of associations was observed for climbers recruited at indoor and outdoor venues, and for male and female climbers. Rock climbers may therefore participate more frequently, take calculated additional risks and attempt harder climbs when they feel confident in their abilities and are high in self-efficacy. Researchers should not assume psychological or behavioral homogeneity within risk taking populations.
This study was carried out in order to determine the submissive behavior and self-confidence levels of individuals who practice mountaineering sports. While the population of the study was individuals participated Erzurum Winter Development Camp in 2015, the sample of the study was consisted of 212 participants (n=169 male, 43 female) selected by random sampling. A 3-part questionnaire was used to collect data in the study. In the first part of the questionnaire, there is a 16-item “Submissive Behavior Scale” (SBS) to determine the submissive behavior levels of the participants. In this part of the questionnaire, “Self-confidence Scale" of which validity and reliability study was performed by Akın (2007).The last part was allocated for 7-item 'Demographic Information Form' developed by the researcher to learn the demographic information of the participants. The data were analyzed with SPSS packet program. Besides the descriptive statistics, T-test and ANOVA were utilized and Tukey test was used to specify the groups from which significant differences were derived and Pearson correlation test was used in order to examine the relationship between variables. Findings have shown that mountaineers, living in rural areas, have lower self-confidence than the urban and metropolitan residents. Additionally, the confidence of the athletes in the alpinist was higher than in other branches. Besides, it was found out that there existed negative relationship between submissive behavior and self-confidence.

Towards New Heights: An Interview Study on Psychological Characteristics in Danish Elite ClimbingPsychological characteristics, alongside enviromnetal characteristics, have animportant influence on the developmental process of turning young talent into successfulelite athletes. The purpose of this study was to explore the psychological characteristicsand skills of elite Danish senior climbers that are important for achieving success in aniche sport in a small country such as Denmark. Additionally, the environmental factors(e.g. relations and facilities) which influence the development of these psychologicalcharacteristics in climbers were examined. Data collection included four semi-structuredinterviews with elite senior climbers. The empirical material was analyzed with anexplorative approach following the six stages of thematic analysis, and later discussedagainst former research on psychological and environmental factors. The study identifiedfive factors that the athletes used or possessed during their career to achieve success:(a) focus on progress, (b) self-reflexivity and...

Identifying the opportunities and threats of sport climbing in Iran2014 •
The purpose of this research was to identify Sport Climbing’s opportunities and threats in Iran. This is an applicable and descriptive-analytical study. For this purpose, at first the present status of Iran’s Sport Climbing was studied by gathering information from library resources, internet and designed forms. A researcher-made questionnaire was prepared. 12 climbing experts and professors confirmed its validity. The reliability of the questionnaire consisting of 35 items was approved with Cronbach’s Alfa (α=0.952). Eighty seven coaches, route setters, judges, elite athletes and managers of sport climbing in Iran completed it. In analyzing data, both descriptive statistics and inferential statistics model, Chi-squared test and Friedman test was done by using SPSS and Excel software. The External factors Evaluation Matrix (EFE) revealed that the external position of the Sport Climbing in Iran was in T area(EFE=2.464).
This study aims to (1) focus on the community motive for mountaineering physical activities, (2) identify the benefit of mountaineering for climbers, and (3) identify risks and danger of mountaineering.

Motivation is one of the major aspects in sport psychology for both physical education and sport. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between intrinsic motivation and task and ego ori- entation in athletes of climbing to estimate the factors that affects in the configuration of level of intrinsic motivation and the objects that determine the behavior of athletes. The sample was consisted of 100 athletes of climbing (71 men and 29 women), age 18 to 32 years, (M = 25.9), which had mean of weekly training 3,55 times/week and mean of degree of difficulty "7+". Participants completed the questionnaire of intrinsic mo- tivation (McAuley, Duncan & Tammen, 1989) and the questionnaire of task and ego orientation in sport (Duda & Nicholls, 1992). The results showed that exist significant differences in intrinsic motivation, de- pending on sex, experience and level of athletes. Also was found statistically significant cross-correlation between competence, ten...
