The purpose of this study is to investigate the differences in POMS sub-scales based on the temporal patterning for individual and team sports. According to the hypothesis of this research, results in table 2 show that there is no significant relationship between individual and team sports in POMS sub-scales. However, based on the table 3, the only significant relationships were found in the second and third temporal patterns just in several sub-scales. In addition, the researcher compared each mood states one by one between individual and team sports. Also, available research indicates that, while psychological factors such as general mood and personality may be similar across athletic groups. It is important to consider the task specific nature of the sport investigated.
