Abstract

The aim of the research was to build and standardize a bullying scale in the sports environment for players of some team and individual games. The researchers used the descriptive approach with the survey method to suit the nature of the problem. The research sample consisted of 185 athletes in a random manner. The participatory observation tool and the questionnaire tool were adopted. After collecting information, analyzing the questionnaire data, and using statistical methods and repetitions, we reached the most important results: Building and standardizing a tool to measure bullying in the sports environment in some team and individual games. One of the most important recommendations presented in this research is the necessity of conducting educational and psychological workshops and seminars to demonstrate the danger of bullying on the psychological and behavioral aspects of athletes.
