Irrational Beliefs and Moral Behaviors: Are Irrational Performance Beliefs Predictor of Prosocial and Antisocial Behaviors in Athletes?
(Springer, 2024) Aşçı, Fevziye Hülya; Asci, F. Hulya; Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Bölümü
The aim of this study was to investigate the atemporal mediating role of secondary irrational beliefs in the relationship between primary irrational beliefs and prosocial-antisocial behaviors in athletes. Ninety-two males (Mage=19.83 +/- 2.80) and 32 females (Mage=19.28 +/- 1.44), a total of 124 athletes (Mage=19.69 +/- 2.52) voluntarily participated in this study. Irrational Performance Belief Inventory-2 and Prosocial and Antisocial Behavior Scale were administered, and regression analysis was performed by using bootstrapping via PROCESS macro v4.2. Analysis indicated a significant atemporal direct effect of awfulizing belief on prosocial behaviors toward teammates and opponents. The direct effect of low frustration tolerance belief on prosocial behaviors toward opponents was also significant. Demandingness, awfulizing, and depreciation beliefs had atemporal direct effects on antisocial behaviors toward teammates. There were significant atemporal indirect effects of demandingness belief on prosocial behaviors toward teammates through awfulizing, prosocial behaviors toward opponents through low frustration tolerance, and antisocial behaviors toward teammates through low frustration tolerance and depreciation. In conclusion, there is atemporal mediating role of secondary irrational performance beliefs in the relationship between primary irrational performance beliefs and prosocial-antisocial behaviors.

The Psychometric Properties of Body-Related Self-Conscious Emotion Measures for Turkish Adolescents: Esem and Cfa Approaches
(Springer, 2025) Urfa, Osman; Asci, F. Hulya
The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the "Body and Appearance Self-Conscious Emotions Scale (BASES)" and "Body and Fitness-Related Self-Conscious Emotions Scale (BSE-FIT)" for Turkish adolescents. Each scale consists of 16 items and four subscales (shame, guilt, authentic pride, and hubristic pride) and items are responded on 5-point Likert scale. The psychometric properties of BASES and BSE-FIT were tested on 332 girls and 264 boys, a total of 596 participants (Mage=13.88, SDage=1.92). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and exploratory structural equation modelling (ESEM) with multi-group analysis (MGA) were used to test the 4-factor and 2-factor structures and measurement invariance. Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient and composite reliability (CR) were calculated for reliability. According to the model fit indices and factor loadings, the most appropriate model was the 4-factor CFA model for BASES and BSE-FIT. Cronbach's alpha and CR coefficients were 0.79 and above in the 4-factor CFA structures of both scales. In addition, MGA demonstrated factor structures, factor loadings, intercepts, and measurement error variance of BASES and BSE-FIT were equivalent according to sex, school level, sport status, region, and body mass index. In conclusion, BASES and BSE-FIT are valid and reliable in Turkish adolescents, and both scales provided measurement invariance in adolescents with different demographic characteristics.

Psychometric Properties of Turkish Version of the Behavioural Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (breq-3)
(Edizioni Luigi Pozzi, 2021) Aşçı, Fevziye Hülya; Elmas, Aydan Gozmen; Ersöz, Gözde; Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Bölümü
The aim of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of Behavioural Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-3 (BREQ- 3). Four hundred-one male and 299 female exercisers participated in this study. The Behavioural Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-3 BREQ-3, Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale and Goal Orientation in Exercise Measure were administered with personal information form to all participants. The psychometric proporties of the scale were investigated using confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency, convergent and discriminant validity. Findings regarding the construct validity of the scale demonstrated that six-factor model showed acceptable fit to the data. The results demonstrated an adequate internal consistency. Furthermore, correlations of the behavioral regulations with goal orientations and basic needs satisfactions in exercise provided the evidence for the convergent and discriminant validity of the measure. In sum, results indicated that BREQ-3 is a reliable and valid scale in within the context of exercise in Turkey.
