SPSS 15 Packet program has been used to analysis the datas.To determine, the datas having normal distribution ”Kolmogorov-Smirnov” test, to determinte the homogeneity of the datas “Anova-Homogeneity of Variance” test, has been applied and Datas having normal and homogenous distribution have been determined. For analysing the datas descriptive statistic, to determinte the relationship between more than 2 variables one-way variance analysis and also to determine the relationship between the variables Tukey test has been applied.After examining the narcissism and sub-dimension levels of the athlethes, It has been found out that at superriority dimension the weight lifters, at exhibitionism dimension greko-roman wrestlers, at authority dimension kick-boxers, at exploitation dimension greko-roman wrestlers, at pretension dimension boxers, at self-sufficiency dimension weight lifters are placed on the top.A meaningful difference has been found out, when athlethes’ superiority dimensions are compared, between weight lifting and kick-boxing. As a result of comparing the total narcissism levels of athlethes, there has been found out no meaningful difference in between any branch. It has been determined that Weight lifters have the characteristic of narcissism more than the other athlethes, they admire their physical and psychological features more than the other athlethes. As for free style wrestlers, it has been determined that they have the characteristic of narcissim less than the other athlethes and they like their physical and psychological features less than the other athlethes.”
