The aim of this study is to examine the impact of the creativity levels of the students who study at the School ofPhysical Education and Sport on their critical thinking dispositions.In accordance with this purpose, the sample is composed of 341 students randomly selected from the ErciyesUniversity School of Physical Education and Sport. In the study, The California Critical Thinking DispositionInventory which was adapted into Turkish by Kökdemir (2003), the creativity level scale adapted by Çoban (1999)and the "Personal Information Form" prepared by the researcher were used as data collection tools.Statistical analyzes of the data obtained from the Personal Information Form were made with the SPSS 20.0 packageprogram. Personal information about the candidates, total inventory scores and factor scores were given bydetermining their frequency (f) and percentage (%) values. The Pearson Product-Moment Correlation analysis (r)was applied in order to reveal the relationship between the scores obtained from the scales and the multipleregression analysis (β) was applied in order to determine whether the obtained scores were predictive of each other.While a positively significant relationship was revealed between creativity and the critical thinking sub-dimensionscuriousness, analyticalness, open-mindedness, truth-seeking, and self-confidence; a significant relationship could notbe determined between creativity and the systematicity sub-dimension. Also, it has been determined that the criticalthinking and creativity level scale scores were at medium level.When the results obtained from our study are examined, it is seen that the level of creativity affected critical thinkingmethods as well as many other areas. For this reason, it is thought that it is important for the teacher traininginstitutions to also include senior thinking skills in preparing their programs.
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between happiness levels of university students with levels oflife satisfaction and optimism.

Volunteers were applied to the personal information form, academic satisfaction, attitude towards the future and attitude towards the teaching profession scales. The data were analyzed in the computer environment. Variables are expressed using mean±standard deviation, percentage and frequency values. Pearson product-moment correlation (r) analysis was applied.
Bu araştırmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinin yaratıcılık düzeyleri ile duygu yönetim düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin tespit edilmesidir. Araştırmaya Bingöl Üniversitesi bünyesinde bulunan Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Yüksekokulu'nda beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenliği bölümünde bulunan tesadüfi yöntemle seçilmiş 154 öğrenci katılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama araçları olarak; Raudsepp (1977) tarafından geliştirilen ve Çoban (1999) tarafından Türkçe 'ye uyarlanan yaratıcılık ölçeği, Çeçen (2006) tarafından geliştirilen duyguları yönetme becerileri ve kişisel bilgi formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen veriler bilgisayar ortamında analiz edilmiştir. Kişisel bilgi formu, yaratıcılık ve duygu yönetim düzeyleri ölçeğinden elde edilen veriler analizleri bilgisayar ortamında yapılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, üniversite öğrencilerinin yaratıcılık düzeylerinin ortalamanın altında, duyguları yönetme becerileri ölçeği alt başlıklarının ve toplam puanın ortalamanın üstünde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, yaratıcılık düzeyleri ile duyguları yönetme becerileri alt başlıklarından başa çıkma arasında pozitif yönde düşük düzeyde ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Bu durumun, çalışmamıza katılan öğrencilerinin sportif geçmişleri sayesinde kazandıkları tecrübelerle, bedensel tepkileri kontrol, sinir ile baş edebilmeleri açısından, duygularını doğru bir şekilde düzenleyebilmeleri ve karşılaştıkları sıkıntıların da çözümünde başa çıkma becerilerini bu sportif tecrübelerin gelişmiş olmasından kaynaklandığı düşünülmektedir.
