Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of trainer behaviors on the anger and aggression levels of athletes. This study was conducted with 748 athletes with an active license who are over 18 years of age and participate in individual and team sports branches. In this study, the "Coaching Behavior Assessment Questionnaire" and the “Competitive Aggressiveness and Anger Scale" were used as data collection tools. The study results showed that athletes’ levels of evaluation of the trainers' behaviors were high, while the levels of aggressiveness and anger in sports were low. It was determined that there is a negative low-level relationship between the athletes’ evaluation levels of the trainers' behaviors and the aggressiveness and anger levels in sports and that the trainer's behaviors predict the anger and aggressiveness levels of the athletes by 9% and 6%, respectively. The results of this study show that the attitudes and behaviors of trainers can affect the emotional states of athletes and have the potential to increase or decrease their anger and aggressiveness levels. Trainers who exhibit positive, supportive, and modeling behaviors help create a healthy sports environment and help athletes maintain emotional balance.
