Abstract EN

This research aimed to identify the level of Self-Control among students who practice sports and those who don’t, and to detect the significance of the differences in that, according to some demographic variables.

To achieve these objectives, the researchers used the descriptive method using a survey as well as a comparative method.

The research sample consisted of (390) male and female students who were chosen in a deliberate way, in a pairing style, from the colleges of the University of Duhok for the academic year (2019-2020).

The self-control scale prepared by the researchers was used.

And the data was statistically processed using (mean, standard deviation, t-test for one sample and independent-samples, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), less significant difference (L.S.D) test, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient).

The results of the study showed that there is a statistically significant difference in Self-Control among students who practice sports and those who don’t, and in favor of the practice sports.

It was found that there is no significant difference in Self-Control attributed to the variables of gender, accommodation location and specialization, while there is a statistically significant difference in Self-Control attributed to the age and grade.

In light of the results, a set of recommendations and suggestions were presented.
