标题：Examination of decision-making styles of Turkish Basketball Federation referees Türkiye Basketbol Federasyonu klasman hakemlerinin karar verme stillerinin incelenmesi
摘要：The current study focused on decision-making styles of basketball classification referees under Turkish Basketball Federation. In the study; “Personal Information Form” designed by the researchers and “Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire” developed by Mann et al. (1998) and adapted into Turkish by Deniz et al. (2004) that explore decision-making styles were employed. Decision-making styles of the participant referees were compared in terms of sex, age, refereeing duration, province, average number of matches conducted during the season, whether or not being affected by spectator pressure, education, perceived economic income and marital status. The population of the study was composed of a total of 251 basketball classification referees (31 female referees and 220 male referees) under TBF (2015-2016 Season). The sample was consisted of a total of 197 basketball classification referees who volunteered to join the study (25 female referees and 172 male referees). As a result; vigilance decision-making of the basketball classification referees who worked under TBF decreased as their educational status increased. It was identified that those basketball classification referees who were married used buck-passing, procrastination and hyper-vigilance decision-making styles more than those who were single. It may be argued that as age increased, basketball classification referees preferred hyper-vigilance decision-making styles.
