Abstract:
Referees' decision making and confidence are influenced by factors such as audience pressure, player pressure, immediate events, and psychological situations. The aim of this research is to analyze the relationship between the decision-making styles and self-confidence of futsal referees in relation to different variables. The research uses relational screening patterns from quantitative research methods. To collect data in the study, the personal information form is used as "Decision Style Scale (DSS)" and "Confidence Scale" adapted by Tasdelen (2002). Skewness and Kurtosis values (±1.5) were accepted for normality analysis Accordingly, frequency, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation coefficients were determined for the analysis of the data, and t-test for paired groups and ANOVA -test for more than two groups were used to test the relationships between them. Gender (rational, dependent, intuitive, evasive, and spontaneous), educational level (evasive and spontaneous), occupation (evasive and spontaneous), difference in work experience (rational), no difference in marital status, and age variability; when looking at the self-confidence scale, it was found that there was a difference in educational level (internal confidence) and that there was no statistical difference in gender, marital status, occupation, age, and work experience. Thus, a non-negative relationship was found between the decision-making style of futsal referees and the level of self-confidence.
