ABSTRACT

This study aimed to identify whether there are differences between the students in the swimming courses at the University of Jordan in terms of psychological compatibility and movement satisfaction levels which can be attributed to gender.

The sample of the study consists of sixty (60) male students, and forty-five (45) female students from the physical education faculty at the University of Jordan. The researchers used a psychological compatibility questionnaire in which reliability and validity have been checked. This questionnaire consists of 42 items. The researchers used means, standard deviations, independent samples t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient. It was found that there isn't any statistical difference - at the statistical significance level of P≤0.05 – between the respondents in terms of psychological compatibility and movement satisfaction which can be attributed to gender.
