Abstract
Individuals are part of the society lived in, therefore, it's expected that the individuals have a healthy and social interaction pattern in this society. Individuals should psychologically and socially be healthy in a healthy mutual interaction. We may encounter many different events in social life. Each individual has different mental reactions to the experiences. Certain psychological traumas may develop as a result of these experiences, which we may have encountered during sports we do for a leisure time activity, for being healthy or as a profession sometimes. It's a fact accepted today that problems up to psychological disorders can be developed after these stresses. In this study, the trauma issue has been investigated in general. Accordingly, the social trauma in sports, its causes and consequences, the actions to be taken against such a situation in sports events were emphasized in the study. The issue of trauma in sports was examined with the related case studies and the literature was reviewed on the Sports and Social Trauma issues. © IDOSI Publications, 2013.
