Abstract :The aim of this study is to examine the psychological robustness levels of the athletes in the 13-18 age range who are interested in individual and team sports in terms of some variables. The study group consists of athletes who actively participate in training and competitions throughout the year in Yozgat province. Accordingly, a total of 209 athletes, including 101 women and 108 men in the 13-18 age range, participated in the study. A short psychological robustness scale was used in the study.The normality distribution of the data was determined by the plainness skew test. The t-test was used for binary comparisons, and the one way ANOVA test was used for ternary and more variable Analyses. As a result of the research, it was determined that male athletes had higher levels of psychological robustness than female athletes. It was also found that the levels of psychological robustness increased as the age of the athlete adolescents increased, and the psychological robustness levels of the athletes engaged in individual sports were higher than those of the athletes engaged in team sports.
