For this purpose, the study was carried out according to the relational screening design, which is one of the quantitative research designs. 397 students studying atthe faculty of sports sciences participated in the research.

As a result of the analysis, sportsmanship has been determined that it has a significant relationship with empathy, conscience, self-control, kindness and self-efficacy. As another result of the study, while self-efficacy alone explains 13.4% of sportsmanship, self-efficacy, empathy, self-control and kindness together explain 48% of sportsmanship.
