Rekreasyonel Balıkçıların Motivasyonunun Belirlenmesi: Boş Zaman Motivasyon Ölçeğinin Geçerlik ve Güvenirliği

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın ilk amacı, İzmir ilindeki rekreasyonel balıkçıların motivasyonlarını belirlemektir. Daha önce, Kırova ve Yılmaz (2022) tarafından Türkçeye ve Türk kültürüne uyarlaması yapılan Boş Zaman Motivasyon Ölçeğinin (BZMÖ) (Beard & Ragheb 1983), bir ciddi boş zaman etkinliği olan balık tutma motivasyonunu ölçmede de güvenilir bir araç olup olmadığını test etmek, çalışmanın bir diğer amacıdır. Bu amaçlarla, İzmir ilindeki olta balıkçılarından yüz yüze gerçekleştirilen görüşmelerle 290 anket toplanmıştır. Faktör analizi öncesi normallik, örneklem uygunluk ve küresellik testleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veri setinin faktör analizine uygunluğunun tespitiyle doğrulayıcı faktör analizine (DFA) geçilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen DFA’da; ki kare değeri 1,137, GFI 0,906, NFI 0,954, CFI 0,995, RMSEA 0,022, IFI 0,996 ve RFI 0,954 olarak tespit edilmiş ve bu sonuçlar, daha önce Türk kültürü ve dilinde geçerlik ve güvenirliği kanıtlanmış altı boyutlu BZMÖ’nün, balıkçıların motivasyonunu ölçmek için de uygun bir araç olduğunu göstermiştir. Yapılan analizler, balıkçıların sırasıyla uyaran-çekme, uyaran-itme, yeterlik-ustalık, entelektüel, sosyal-arkadaşlık ve sosyal-statü güdüleriyle hareket ettiğini göstermiştir.

Determining the Motivation of Recreational Fishers: Validity and Reliability of the Leisure Motivation Scale

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the motivations of recreational fishers in Izmir province. Another purpose of the study has been to test whether the Leisure Motivation Scale (LMS) (Beard & Ragheb, 1983), previously adapted to Turkish language and culture by Kirova and Yilmaz (2022), is also a reliable tool for measuring the motivation for angling, which is a serious leisure activity. Within this purpose, a total of 290 questionnaires have been gathered from fishers in Izmir Province. Upon determining that the data set is suitable for factor analysis, the study has proceeded with the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The chi-square value has been concluded to be 1.137, GFI 0.906, NFI 0.954, CFI 0.995, RMSEA 0.022, IFI 0.996, and RFI 0.954 in the CFA, and these results have demonstrated that the six-dimensional LMS, previously proven to be valid and reliable in the Turkish language and culture, is also a reliable tool for measuring the motivation of anglers. Analyses carried out suggest that anglers act based on stimulus-pull, stimulus-push, competence-mastery, intellectual, social-friendship, and social-status motivations.
