Özet
This study, aimed to determine which intelligence types of individuals interested in tennis sport are more developed and to examine them in terms of demographic variables. The research universe consists of 328 tennis players, 159 (48.5%) women and 169 (51.5%) men, who participated in tennis tournaments in Istanbul. Multiple Intelligence Scale developed by Mc Clellan and Conti (2008) and adapted to Turkish by Babacan and Dilci (2012) was used in the study. In research statistics; Due to the normal distribution of the data, independent samples t-test, which is parametric tests, correlation analysis among the ANOVA intelligence types sub-dimensions were used, and the frequency and percentage values of personal characteristics were analyzed (α = 0.05). According to the research findings; In the comparison made according to the gender variable of the athletes, a significant difference was found in the musical intelligence sub-dimension of the scale (t =-2.202, p = .028, p <0.05). In the comparison made according to age, interpersonal intelligence (F = 3.493, p = .016, p <0.05), naturalistic intelligence (F = 3.634, p = .013, p <0.05) and verbal intelligence (F = 3.261, p = .022), p <0.05) sub-dimensions were found to be significantly different. In the comparison made according to where the athletes live, it was determined that there is a significant difference in the physical intelligence (t =-2.692, p = .008, p <0.05) and verbal intelligence (t =-2.727, p = .007, p <0.05) sub-dimensions of the scale. In the comparison made according to participation in social activities, a significant difference was found in the internal intelligence (t =-2.779, p = .006, p <0.05) and verbal intelligence (t = 2.065, p = .040, p <0.05) sub-dimensions of the scale. In the comparison made according to the purpose of the athletes to be interested in the branch, the scale's physical intelligence (F = 3.624, p = .013, p <0.05), internal intelligence (F = 9.775, p = .000, p <0.05) and logical intelligence (F = 6.946, p = .000, p <0.05) sub-dimensions were found to be significantly different. It was determined that there was no statistically significant difference in the comparison made according to the duration of the athletes' interest in tennis (p> 0.05). As a result, significant relationships and differences between the demographic characteristics and intelligence types of the participants interested in tennis sports have been determined.
