Abstract

This study aims to comprehensively investigate the impact of secondary school students' social participation skills on their attitudes towards sport. In this context, the effect between social participation skills and attitudes towards sport among middle school students will be examined in detail. This study aims to contribute to the development of strategies to increase young people's participation in sporting activities. The population of the study consisted of 2256 students studying at secondary school level in Sungurlu district of Çorum province (Türkiye). The study was conducted with 342 students aged 12-14 years. The participants' data was collected using the "Social Participation Scale of Secondary School Students" and the "Attitude Towards Sports Scale". According to the results of the study, it was found that there was a significant relationship between family income, sports habits, licensed sports, participation in school sports and students' athletic success and their social participation skills and attitudes toward sports. Social participation skills and attitudes towards sport were found to be more positive among higher income students who regularly participate in sport and school sport. It was also found that social participation skills are better developed and attitudes towards sport are more positive in students who regularly participate in sport. It can be said that this study will contribute to the understanding of the effect between social participation skills and attitudes towards sport and contribute to guiding future research.
