Abstract

The aim of this study is to reveal the dimensions of interaction between female athletes’ sports age and their narcissism levels. The narcissism levels of students who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study have been measured through 16-question Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI-16) which has been coordinated by Daniel R. Ames, Paul Rose and Cameron P. Anderson in 2005. The validity and the reliability of the Inventory have been done by Salim Atay in 2009. For analyses of the data, Portable IBM SPSS Statistics v20 software package was used. The descriptive analysis, correlation and regression analysis were used in data analysis. At the end of the study, it was observed that there is a relationship between sports age and narcissism scores of athletes in sample group.
