INVESTIGATION OF SOCIAL STATUS PERCEPTIONS OF SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the social status perceptions of sports high school students in terms of various sociodemographic characteristics and to reveal psychometric differences. The study group of the study consists of 152 sports high school students, 80 boys and 72 girls. In order to measure students' perception of social status, Subjective Social Status Scale developed by Goodman (2001) and adapted to Turkish by Turkay et al. (2018) was applied. Normality tests were applied to examine the distribution of the collected data, and within the scope of the results, it was decided to use parametric test methods. As a result of the research; While there were significant differences in social status perceptions of sports high school students according to their ages, whether they do sports or not, and their weekly duration of doing sports, no difference was found in perceptions of social status by gender.
