Examination of Risk Taking and Motivation Levels of Individuals Participating in Outdoor Recreative Activities

Öz

The aim of this study is to examine the reasons for participation, risk-taking tendencies, and motivation levels of individuals participating in outdoor recreational activities, particularly those involving elements of adventure, excitement, and risk. Data were collected from a total of 425 individuals (mean age 30.73 ± 5.59 years), including 185 female participants (mean age = 30.31 ± 5.38 years) and 240 male participants (mean age = 31.05 ± 5.74 years), using a personal information form, the Short Form of the Area-Specific Risk-Taking Scale, and the Recreational Activities Participation Motivation Scale. Non-parametric tests (Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, Spearman Correlation) were used in data analysis. According to the research findings, men have significantly higher risk-taking and motivation levels than women. While it was observed that single individuals tend to take more risks than married individuals, it was found that the perception of health/safety risks increased with higher education levels. Variables such as type of recreational activity and region also showed significant differences in some sub-dimensions. A significant positive correlation was found between risk-taking and motivation; indicating that risk-taking behavior is a motivational factor. Instructors in recreational activities should receive regular risk management training and be prepared for potential hazards.
