The Correlatıon Between Mental Toughness And Goal Orıentatıon Of Elıte Wrestlers

This study examined the correlation between mental toughness and goal orientation of elite wrestlers. A total of 50 wrestler (age=20.22±2.98) were participated in the study. In the study; "Task and Ego Orientation Scale in Sport Questionnaire" developed by Duda and Whitehead (1998) used to determine goal orientation levels. "Sport Mental Toughness Questionnaire (MTTQ)" developed by Sheard et. al (2009) used. Also, a personal information form used that prepared by the researchers. Descriptive, relational and comparative model were used in the article. In the analysis of the data, Spearman correlation coefficient was applied in the article. Also, Mann-Whitney U test used to comparisons. Wrestlers found a moderate negative correlation between age variable and control scores of the mental toughness scale (p<0.01). A positive correlation was found between task orientation scores of the goal orientation scale and the confidence (p<0.01) of the mental toughness scale and the continuum (p<0.05) scores. A low-level positive correlation was detected between the ego orientation score of the goal orientation scale and the confidence scores of the mental toughness scale (p<0.05). A significant difference was found between wrestlers age variable scores and control scores of the mental toughness scale (p<0.05). As a result, the correlation between mental toughness and goal orientation is important for elite athletes. As the age of elite wrestlers’ increases, their concerns appear to increase in the face of unexpected or uncontrollable events.
