The present research was conducted in order to determine the relationship between social problem solving skill, assertiveness and sport participation. To this end, a total of 224 students (Mage=20, 91±2,09) voluntarily participated in the study. In the process of this research, as data collection tools, Problem Solving Inventory (PSI) and Rathus Assertiveness Schedule (RAS) were used to determine scores of the problem solving skill and assertiveness levels in relation to participants. As a result of the data collected, There was a significant statistically difference in assertiveness between students doing sports and those not doing sports in participants (0,001, p<0.05). There was not a significant statistically difference in problem solving skills between students doing sports and those not doing sports (0,001, p<0.05). There was a significant statistically difference in problem solving skills and assertiveness between male and female students in terms of the sport participation (0,001, p>0.05). There was a significant statistically relationship between problem solving skills and assertiveness. These findings were evaluated and discussed in terms of problem solving skills and assertivenes levels of the participants.
