A statistically significant difference was found between extraordinary appearance χ2 (sd=3, n=112) = 7.812, p<0.05), adopting values χ2 (sd=3, n=112) = 9.551, p<0.05), social unity of the groupχ2 (sd=3, n=112) = 8.319, p<0.05) and group unity in taskχ2 (sd=3, n=112) = 13.177, p<0.05) subscales in terms of sports year variable.
