Bu çalışmanın amacı, Amerikan futbolu sporcularının (Korumalı Futbol) yalnızlık düzeyleri ile sporda mental dayanıklılık düzeylerinin bazı değişkenlere göre, karşılaştırılması ve incelenmesidir. Çalışma grubu, Türkiye Beysbol, Softbol, Korumalı Futbol ve Ragbi Federasyonu (TBSF)'na bağlı, lig takımlarında bulunan ve araştırmaya gönüllü olarak katılmayı kabul eden 4 ayrı üniversiteden, 93 erkek sporcudan oluşmaktadır. Veri toplama sürecinde, Russel ve ark. (1978) tarafından geliştirilen, Yaparel (1984) tarafından Türkçe'ye çevrilen ve Demir (1989) tarafından son halini alan "University Of California, Los Angeles" UCLA Yalnızlık Ölçeği ile Sheard ve ark. (2009) tarafından geliştirilen ve Pehlivan (2014) tarafından Türkçe'ye uyarlanan "Sporda Mental Dayanıklılık Ölçeği'ne" ek olarak, bireylerin üniversite bölümü, yaş, boy ve kilolarına ilişkin 37 sorudan oluşan bir bilgi formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonunda, Amerikan Futbolu sporcularının (Korumalı Futbol) yaş, boy ve kilo değişkenlerine göre yalnızlık düzeylerinin ters orantılı olduğu, sporcularının sporda mental dayanıklılık düzeylerinin yaş ve boy değişkenleri göre doğru orantılı olarak, değerler yükseldikçe sporda mental dayanıklılık düzeylerinin arttığı görülmüştür. Sporcularda, sporda mental dayanıklılık düzeyleri ile yalnızlık düzeyleri arasında negatif ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu, sporda mental dayanıklılık düzeyleri arttıkça yalnızlık düzeylerinin düştüğü sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
