SUMMARY
In this study, it is aimed to analyze psychological resilience and goal commitment levels of the students that are studying in sports sciences and education faculties. The study group consists of 304 (159 males, 145 females) students from Usak University Faculty of Sport Sciences and Education, included in the study per the convenience sampling method from the non-probabilistic sampling. We employed the relational screening method in this study, which is designed per the quantitative research model. As a data collection tool in the research, The "Psychological Resilience Scale" developed by Liebenberg et al. (2013) [1], adapted to Turkish by Arslan (2015) [2] and of which validity-reliability study was conducted, the "Goal Commitment Scale" developed by Klein et al. (2001) [3] and rearranged by Hollenbeck et al. (1989) [4] and adapted into Turkish by Senel and Yildiz (2016) [5] was employed. In the analysis of data; frequency, percentage, t-test, One-Way ANOVA, and Post Hoc (LSD) test statistics test were utilized. Per the research findings, no significant difference was found between the students' goal commitment and psychological resilience levels with the variables of gender, family income level, and father's educational status. However, a significant difference was identified between the students' psychological resilience levels and the faculties they studied, whether they received psychological support or not, and the mother's education level. We observe that the students' psychological resilience levels studying at the faculty of sports sciences and doing sports a lifestyle are higher than the students studying at the faculties of education. As a result, we analyze that the students' psychological resilience levels were high, and their goal commitment levels were medium. In this context, we observe that students who do regular sports are more psychologically resistant to their difficulties and are more resistant to stress.
