SERBEST ZAMAN İLGİLENİMİ VE YAŞAM DOYUM İLİŞKİSİNDE ETKİNLİK DOYUMUNUN KISMİ ARACILIK ETKİSİ: REKREASYONEL KOŞUCULAR ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

Serbest zamanlarımızda katıldığımız etkinlikler sağlıklı yaşam tarzımızın önemli bir bileşenidir. Serbest zaman etkinlik seçiminin altında yatan sürecin keşfetme ve buna bağlı oluşan yaşam doyumunu belirlenme isteği son zamanlarda giderek artmaktadır. Bu sebeple, serbest zaman etkinliği olarak rekreasyonel koşuyu tercih eden kadın ya da erkeklerin koşuya yönelik duydukları ilginin yaşam
doyum düzeylerine ne yönde etki yaptığını, bu etkinin oluşmasında ise etkinlik doyumunun aracılık rolünün olup olmadığını belirlemek çalışmanın temel amacını oluşturmuştur. Kolayda örneklem yöntemiyle tespit edilen 239 kişi üzerinde yürütülen bu çalışmada, veri toplama aracı olarak Serbest Zaman İlgilenim Ölçeği (SZİÖ), Yaşam Doyum Ölçeği (YDÖ) ve Etkinlik Doyum Ölçeği (EDÖ) kullanılmıştır. Ölçekler arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek için oluşturulan araştırma modeli Yapısal Eşitlik Modeliyle (YEM) değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, serbest zaman etkinliklerine duyulan ilginin rekreasyonel koşucuların yaşam doyum düzeyini artırdığı ve etkinlik sonucu oluşan doyumun modelde aracılık rolü etkisi yarattığı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, oluşan bu etki düzeyinin cinsiyete göre farklılaştığı da tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, rekreasyonel koşu deneyimindeki kişisel anlam (ilgilenim) ve buna bağlı oluşan yaşam doyumunu kavrayabilmek için etkinlikten haz almanın belirleyici bir ölçüt olduğu söylenebilir.

PARTIAL MEDIATION EFFECT OF EVENT SATISFACTION IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LIFE SATISFACTION AND LEISURE INVOLVEMENT: A SAMPLE OF RECREATIONAL RUNNERS

Abstract

Participation in leisure activities is an important component of a healthy lifestyle. The desire to discover the underlying process of leisure activity selection and to determine life satisfaction resulting from this activity selection has been increasing recently. For this reason, the main purpose of the study was to determine how leisure involvement affects life satisfaction of male or female who prefer
recreational running as a leisure activity, and whether event satisfaction has a mediating role on this effect. In this study conducted with 239 participants, Modified Involvement Scale (MIS), Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS) and Event Satisfaction Scale (ESS) were used as data collection tools. The research model created to examine the relationship between the scales was evaluated using the Structural Equation and event satisfaction had a mediating role in the model. In addition, it has been determined that this effect level varies according to gender. As a result, it may be said that event satisfaction is a criterion that determines in order to comprehend the personal relevance (involvement) in the recreational running experience and the life satisfaction resulting from this relevance. Model (SEM). As a result, it was determined that the leisure involvement had an effect on level of recreational runners’ life satisfaction and event satisfaction had a mediating role in the model. In addition, it has been determined that this effect level varies according to gender. As a result, it may be said that event satisfaction is a determinant criterion to comprehend the personal relevance (involvement) in the recreational running experience and the life satisfaction resulting from this relevance.
