A Neuro- Fuzzy Network Model for the Development of Ethical Values in the Iranian Championship Sport

In today's world, sports in terms of championship and professionalism needs new ethics. Thus, in the present applied research, the development of ethical values ​​in the Iranian championship sports was designed and analyzed using the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). A sample of 150 elites and experts in the field of ethics and sports was chosen. For validity of the questionnaire, the formal and content validity method was applied and the reliability of the questionnaire was determined through Cronbach's alpha. Given the qualitative status of ethical values, the application of the fuzzy method is closer to reality than other methods. In this way, the degree and quantitative amount of moral values ​​were calculated through the software MATLAB. The inputs of the model included discourse and consequentialist ethics. Given the high correlation between network inputs and outputs as well as the error rate, the ANFIS model is an optimal model for developing and predicting the virtue ethics values, with its best mode when the the consequentialist ethics values are low.
