Abstract
The aim of this research is to examine the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on trait anger-anger expression styles in individual athletes and to determine the relationship with psychological resilience. The study is a correlational research and a descriptive research. Correlational research is a research which aims to determine whether there is and/or what level is a common change in two or more variables. The data were obtained from a total of 421 athletes, 169 women and 252 men, from different sports branches (taekwondo, athletics, boxing). In the data collection process, trait anger and anger expression scale and psychological resilience short scale adapted to Turkish culture were used. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), correlation analysis and regression analysis were used in the analysis of the data obtained in the study. According to the findings, although the COVID-19 pandemic puts pressure on anger in athletes, resilience has a protective function. The results of the research revealed that psychological resilience has a positive predictor on the trait anger and anger expression styles of the athletes.
