    (FAC TEACHER EDUCATION) Ozsaker, M; Yardimc, F; Gerçeker, GÖ; Muslu, GK
    Positive power is very important for adolescents' physical and mental health. The sample for the study was composed of a total of 760 students in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades from 7 elementary schools. The sociodemographic data form, the Child-Adolescent Social Support Scale (CASSS) for measuring the social support perceived and the Middle School Self-efficacy Scale for measuring self-efficacy were used. This study was conducted to examine the relationship between the social support perceived and elementary school students' self-efficacy and the variables that influence perceived social support and self-efficacy. A positive relationship was determined between the CASSS and point averages on the sub-scales, the Middle School Self-efficacy Scale and the sub-scales of the students (p<0.001). It was established that the perceived social support in adolescents has affected their self-efficacy skills. It is recommended that professionals dealing with adolescent health should guide the adolescents by using social support and health self-efficacy on gaining skills for health protection, promotion and to take over the responsibility of their own health.

    A Study on the Hopelessness of Turkish Physical Education and Sports School Students
    (FAC TEACHER EDUCATION) Ozsaker, M; Vurgun, N
    This study aims to evaluate and compare university students' hopelessness levels for specific variables. The sample included 535 university students at the School of Physical Education and Sports (SPES) of the Adnan Menderes University. The 20-item Beck Hopelessness Scale, developed by Beck et al. (1974), was used in the study. Seber et al. (1993), Durak and Palabiyikoglu (1994) created a Turkish adaptation of the scale. Based on the data, descriptive frequencies and percentage tables were obtained. The Mann Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests, nonparametric correlation and linear regression analyses were implemented using the SPSS 16.0 statistical software for the hopelessness scores. There was an insignificant correlation between students' hopelessness levels in different departments and playing sports, while students' hopelessness scores in the training department were higher than the scores of students in other departments. The low income students' hopelessness levels were higher, but there was a significant correlation between low income and middle/high income.
