Abstract


The aim of this study is to examine the decision-making strategies and psychological resilience levels of basketball referees in different divisions. For this purpose, a total of 150 referees from classifications A, B, C, and local referees serving in Gaziantep province were included in the study on a voluntary basis. Referees who have been actively officiating for at least 2 years were included in the study. In the study, a personal information form-survey was applied to determine the division, years of service, and other characteristics of the referees. To examine decision-making styles, the Melbourne Decision Making Scale I-II was used. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale was used to measure psychological resilience. The data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 software. The data were presented as N, arithmetic mean, and standard deviation. The Shapiro-Wilk test was applied for normality testing, and the Levene test was used for homogeneity testing. In the study, independent sample t-tests were applied for binary group comparisons to determine whether there were differences in the total scale scores and subscale scores based on gender, age, years as a referee, years in the division, and the division level. For comparisons involving more than two groups, one-way ANOVA was used. The Tukey correction test was applied to determine which variable was responsible for the differences. Statistical results were evaluated at a significance level of p<0.05. As a result, we can conclude that there is a significant difference in the decision-making styles and psychological resilience levels of basketball referees in different divisions.
