In this study, it was aimed to develop a tool that can measure attitudes of university students towards digital gaming in a valid and reliable way. 368 university students studying at Gazi University Faculty of Sports Sciences in the 2018-2019 academic year participated in the study. In this study, a mixed design, integrating qualitative and quantitative research designs, was used. In the qualitative step of the study, students were asked about digital gaming, and item pooling was conducted. In the quantitative step, reliability and validity studies were conducted by using SPSS 23 and Lisrel 8.8 programs. According to Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), a structure with three sub-scales consisting of 18 items was obtained. The scale consists of Cognitive (5 items), Affective (5 items) and Behavioral (8 items) sub-scales. Following exploratory factor analysis, a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed and an evidence was obtained that fit indices of the scale obtained according to CFA were within the acceptable range. Subsequently, item and reliability analyses were conducted for the scale. In this context, the total variance ratio explained by the scale was 65.11% and Cronbach's Alpha was .82. As a result, it was found that the Digital Gaming Attitude Scale is a tool that can accurately and reliably measure participants' attitude towards digital gaming.

Aim of this study is to examine the effects of educational games on the anger levels of mentally disabled children. First grade 56 disabled children in age of 8 - 15 who are studying at the Ağrı special education practicing center that is affiliated with directorate of national education located at Ağrı province, participated into the research. Children were randomly selected and divided into two groups as test group and control group. While education game studies were applied on the test group for 3 hours in one day of the week for 8 weeks, the control group only continued its studies in the special education center. Anger scale and anger expression scale were applied on the parents of subjects in the pre-study and post-study process. It was determined that data showed normal distribution by making normality test. Two-paired samples T test was used in intra-group comparisons, independent T test was used in the intergroup comparisons. Margin of error was regarded as 0.05 in this study. When the findings obtained were examined; a statistically significant difference could not be found between the last test results of test and control groups. On the other hand, a statistically significant difference could not be found between the pretest posttest results of the test group, however, when pretest-posttest test results of the control group regarding continuous anger and extrinsic anger state were compared, it is seen that posttest results are significantly higher (P<0,05). In the comparison of pretest-posttest test results of the test group and control group in terms of disability condition, a statistically significant difference could not be found between pretest-posttest test results of individuals who have two types of disability in the test group. On the other hand, when continuous anger and extrinsic anger means of autistic individuals in the control group were examined, it is seen that posttest test results are higher at a statistically significant extent (P<0.05).

The aim of this study was to investigate how wet cupping effects performance and certain blood parameters of athletes. The athletes participating in the study (n=23) were divided into control group (CG, n=11) and experimental group (EG, n=12) by using random sample method. The athletes in sample group were selected in accordance with following criteria; age average: 20,36±1,286 year, average training age: 7,45±4,132 year, average stature: 177,82±6,585 cm, average body weight: 74,09±11,476 kg. The same criteria for the athletes in experimental group (EG) (n=11) were as follows; age average: 21,17±2,290 year, average training age: 9,08±3,825 year, average stature: 179,67±8,553 cm, average body weight: 71,25±10,314 kg. Leg force, acceleration, speed, vertical jump and standing long jump values of the participants were measured along with their blood parameters such as WBC, RBC, HGB, PLT and HCT levels. In statistical analyses of the study, arithmetic mean and standard deviation values were used as descriptive statistics, and Shapiro-Wilks was made in order to analyze the normality of distributions. Independent-Sample t-Test was made to determine the difference between the groups and Paired Sample t-Test to determine the difference within each group. Significance level was taken as p<0.05. Consequently, it can be said that wet cupping has a positive effect on leg force, acceleration, vertical jump and Yoyo-1 values of athletes.
