摘要：The aim of this study is to examine the decision making self-esteem and decision making styles of the tennis referees.The working group is constituted of 130 tennis referees,47 of them are female and 87 are male.For this study Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire I-II (MDMQ) is used.Cronbach Alpha Reliability Coefficient of the Questionnaire is found to be.73.For the analysis of the data Mann-Whitney U Test,Kruskal-Wallis Test and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test are used.A significant difference could not be found between the tennis referee’s decision making self-esteem and lower dimension of decision making styles with respect to their educational status,gender,referee ratings and umpiring periods (p>0.05).It has been observed that as the selfesteem levels of the referees increase,their vigilant decision making levels also increase,while procrastinating,buck-passing and panicking decision making levels decrease.A meaningful relation has been found between the ages of the referees and panic decision making styles.It has been detected that the older the referees are,they panic less during decision making.A significant relation has been observed between the tennis playing time and abstaining decision making styles.It has been confirmed that the buck-passing decision making style is more common among referees who played tennis for longer periods.
