Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between life-satisfaction and self-esteem levels of Sports High school students and also to examine this relationship in terms of various demographic variables. The population of the current research consisted of students receiving education at sports high schools in the Eastern Black Sea region in the 2021-2022 academic year and the sample consisted of 230 volunteer students (Xage=15,48±1,19) studying in these schools. “Demographic Information Form”, “The Life Satisfaction Scale”, and “Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory” were used for collecting the research data. Data analyzes were evaluated using a SPSS 26.0 licensed package program. In the analyzes, descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, One-way ANOVA, Tukey HSD test and Pearson Correlation were used. In the research findings, it was found that there was a significant difference in the life satisfaction levels of sports high school students according to the licensed sports activity variable, as well as a significant difference in their life satisfaction levels and self-esteem status according to the income status variable (p<0.05). In addition, it was determined that there is a moderately significant relationship (**p<0.01) between the life satisfaction levels of sports high school students and their self-esteem, and as it can be understood, the life satisfaction levels of the students increase with the increase in their self-esteem.
