Invidual and team sports, physical and sports college situations that should be considered in psychological intelligence and prosocial relations

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence levels and prosocial behavior levels of university students studying at Physical Education and Sports Schools practicing individual and team sports. Relational survey model, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the research. The study group of the research consists of the students of the physical education and sports teaching department, the coaching department and the sports management department, who are studying in the School of Physical Education and Sports in the 2021-2022 academic year. The research was carried out with the voluntary participation of 542 university students, and the "Revised Schutte Emotional Scale" and the "Prosocial Behavior Scale" were used in the data collection phase. The T-Test analysis method was used to determine if there was a difference between the groups in the analysis of the research data, and the One Way Anova test was used in the comparison of three or more groups. In the research findings, it was determined that the emotional intelligence sub-dimensions, using emotions and optimism/mood sub-dimensions, differed significantly according to gender. A significant difference was found in the gender variable in the sub-dimensions of public prosocial behavior, latent prosocial behavior, emergent prosocial behavior, emotional prosocial behavior, obedient prosocial behavior and scale total. There was a significant difference in the sub-dimension of submissive prosocial behavior, one of the emotional intelligence sub-dimensions, in the sport type variable. As a result, a moderately significant positive correlation was observed between emotional intelligence characteristics and prosocial behavior characteristics. The result shows that the increase in the emotional intelligence of university students affects positive social behaviors in a positive way.
