In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of the freedom perceived by individuals
participating in sportive recreational activities on the level of happiness and mental well-being. The
research was conducted by a total of 461 volunteer individuals participating in sporting recreation
events in The Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey. In addition to the personal information form as a
data collection tool, "Freedom Perceived in Leisure Scale", “Oxford Happiness Scale" and "Mental
Well-Being Scale" were used. Pearson Correlation and Linear Regression analysis were performed
using the SPSS package program in the analysis of the data obtained. According to the research
findings, it was determined that there was a statistically positive moderate relationship between
freedom perceived in leisure and happiness and mental well-being. In addition, it was determined
that freedom perceived in leisure predicted happiness level by 15% and mental well-being level by
14%. As a result, it was observed that the freedom that the individuals participating in the study
