Abstract

The study was to conducted social, cultural, and emotional intelligence of team and individual athletes. The study group comprised 312 active athletes (94 women and 218 men). We collected data using the personal information form, emotional intelligence scale, Tromsø social intelligence scale, and cultural intelligence scale. Our study found no significant differences in emotional intelligence or its sub-dimensions between team and individual athletes (p>0.05). Similarly, there were no significant differences in social intelligence (p>0.05). The cultural intelligence was also not significantly different between the team and individual athletes (p>0.05). These findings suggest that sport type does not significantly affect social, emotional, or cultural intelligence. Although studies have shown the positive effects of sports on people, our findings suggest no difference in intelligence types. This means that encouraging participation in sports is essential for all individuals, regardless of their athletic abilities.
