Investigation of Corona Virus Phobia in Sports Sciences Faculty Students

Abstract

The aim of this research is to Investigate Corona Virus Phobia in Sports Sciences Faculty Students. A total of 216 students from the faculty of sports sciences participated. The “corona virus phobia scale” was used to obtain the data. Since the distribution of the data is parametric (normal), t-test, one-way analysis of variance and LSD tests were used. No statistically significant difference was found in the total scores and sub-dimensions of the covid-19 phobia scale of the gender variables of the participants (p>0.05). While there was no significant difference in the total scores of the covid-19 phobia scale of the variables of the class of the participants, the status of the competition as a competitor, the status of following the news about the corona virus on social media, and the status of someone catching covid-19 (p>0.05), it was lower according to some parameters. A significant difference was found in the dimensions (p<0.05 and p<0.001). Conclusion: There was no statistically significant change in the total score of the coronavirus phobia scale with the variables of gender, class, doing status, catching the corona virus, following the news on social media and covid-19 of the Faculty of Sports Sciences students. This work can be done for larger groups and students.
