AB  - The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between alexithymia, decision making and psychological well-being with individuals' participation in recreational activities. The data used in the study were obtained from a total of 307 individuals who constituted the research group on the principle of volunteerism. The research group was formed on the basis of convenience sampling method. The research was conducted in the survey model. The data used in the study were obtained through Personal Information Form, Toronto Alexithymia Scale, Melbourne Decision Making Scale and Psychological Well-Being Scale. The internal consistency of the responses obtained within the scope of the research was determined by Crα coefficient. All analyses were conducted using the SPSS program. According to the findings it was determined that psychological well-being and careful decision-making style scores differed in favor of individuals who participated in recreational activities, gender and income level were not determinative in terms of the characteristics discussed, and single individuals who did not participate in recreational activities had significantly higher alexithymia scores. On the other hand, it was found, alexithymia had an inverse relationship with self-esteem in decision making, careful decision making and psychological well-being, and psychological well-being had a linear relationship with self-esteem in decision making and careful decision making. As a result, it can be said that participation in recreational activities may positively affect the level of careful decision-making tendency and psychological well-being.
