Abstract
<p style="text-align:justify">Individuals face negative events throughout their lives and such events can cause problems in every aspect of life. A high level of resilience is required to cope with such negative events. There are various factors that affect resilience. Hope is one of those factors. This factor provides a strong structure to individuals and keeps identified objectives alive. Based on this view, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between resilience and constant hope of students studying in a sports science department. Accordingly, the study group of this study consisted of 203 students with 91 female and 112 male students studying in a sports science faculty/school of physical education and sports of universities. The data collection tools of this study were the “Resilience Scale” and the “Constant Hope Scale”. Additionally, to collect information about the students, the “Personal Information Form” developed by the researchers was adopted during the data collection process. The analysis of the obtained data was done with descriptive statistics, t-test for independent two groups, one- way variance analysis (Anova), and Pearson Correlation. To determine which groups caused the statistical difference after one-way variance analysis (Anova), the Tukey HSD multiple comparative test was applied. The results of the study indicated that the data obtained on a scale basis had normal distribution. While there was no significant difference for gender between the relationship of resilience and constant hope, there was a statistically significant difference between different age groups. Additionally, the correlation analysis indicated that there was a positive, moderate level relationship between the two scales.</p>

Sports research in recent years has emphasized assessment of applications, such as enhancing the mental health of sports players, preventing possible problems, increasing performance, and the well-being of counselees
Data obtained from students included in the study were analyzed, and points of “Resilience” and “Constant Hope” scale were determined
According to the gender variable, there was no significant difference between female and male students for constant hope levels
Summary
Sports research in recent years has emphasized assessment of applications, such as enhancing the mental health of sports players, preventing possible problems, increasing performance, and the well-being of counselees. Psychological consultants, sports psychologists, mentors, and experts in psychology have stated that individuals will become stronger as they overcome such negative events. This situation was described using the concepts of resilience and strength. Fraser, Richman, and Galinsky (1999) defined resilience as achieving positive and unexpected success under harsh conditions and adapting to unique conditions and events. As it is clearly stated, the literature has different definitions of resilience. Other definitions include the ability to achieve positive and unexpected success under harsh conditions and adapt to unique conditions and events
