Abstract

This research aimed to identify the level of positive sports behavior among futsal players in several scientific and humanities college teams, as well as to identify differences in positive sports behavior between futsal players from scientific and humanities colleges. The research was conducted on futsal players from scientific and humanities colleges who participated in the University of Mosul League for the academic year (2023-2024), totaling (276) players according to statistics obtained from the university's sports activity coordinator. The research sample was selected purposively, and (144) players were chosen. Players representing six scientific colleges and six humanities colleges, with twelve players from each college, were selected from the research population. This represents 52.173% of the original research population in terms of the number of players. The questionnaire developed by Al-Hayali and Al-Hadidi (2019), consisting of 42 items, was used. The following statistical methods were employed: percentage, t-test for independent samples, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation coefficient, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The researchers concluded the following:
