Abstract
Aim: The aim of this research is to examine the problem-solving skills and decision-making levels of karate referees. Method: The research group consists of 410 (161 female and 249 male) karate referees from different classifications who worked in the Turkish Karate Federation in the 2020-2021 season. As a data collection tool, the 35-item “Problem Solving Inventory” developed by Heppner and Petersen (1982) and adapted into Turkish by Taylan (1990) and the original Mann. et al. (1998) and adapted into Turkish by Deniz (2004) "Melbourne Decision Making Scale I-II" (MKVÖ) was used. Independent Sample T-Test, One-Factor Analysis of Variance and Pearson Correlation Test were applied to the obtained data after descriptive statistical operations were performed. Results and Conclusion: As a result of the research, while there was no significant difference in the decision-making levels of karate referees according to the refereeing year (p>0.05), there was a significant difference in the decision-making levels according to gender and refereeing classification (p<0.05). When we look at the problem-solving skills of karate referees, there were significant differences in problem-solving skills according to gender, refereeing year and refereeing classification (p<0.05).
