affect (PA) and negative affect (NA) of the individuals involved in outdoor
activities. Moreover, the study aims to describe daily satisfaction levels of
the participants of outdoor sports activities. </span> </p> <p> </p> <span style="font-size:14px;"> </span> <p class="Abstract" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm -5.4pt .0001pt;"> <span style="font-size:14px;"> <b>Material and Methods: </b> This study was conducted in the south of Turkey,
Antalya, Köprülü Canyon National Park and followed daily diary studies in
non-experimental design. 104 voluntary participants (X </span> <span style="font-size:14px;"> <sub>age </sub>=23.70±3.04),
who were not actively involved in recreational sports activities, were measured
by The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). Besides, overall
Satisfaction Questionnaire was measured during their activities. Average of PA
and NA values of participants involved in outdoor sports activities were
compared for each of the three days by Repeated Measures ANOVA and Two-way
Repeated Measures ANOVA analysis. </span> </p> <p> </p> <span style="font-size:14px;"> </span> <p class="Abstract" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm -5.4pt .0001pt;"> <span style="font-size:14px;"> <b> <span style="font-size:14px;">Results: </span> </b> <span style="font-size:14px;"> When
the overall changes in the affect levels of participants were considered, a
significant increase was observed between the 1st (X </span> </span> <span style="font-size:14px;">=2.74) and 2nd days (X </span> <span style="font-size:14px;">=2.97). The changes in PA’s of participants were
significant with an increase between the 1st (X </span> <span style="font-size:14px;">=4.12) and 2nd (X </span> <span style="font-size:14px;">=4.28) days and a decrease between 2nd (X </span> <span style="font-size:14px;">=4.28) and 3rd (X </span> <span style="font-size:14px;">=4.09) days. Furthermore, it was determined that
gender did not affect the general, positive, and negative emotional states of
the participants. </span> </p> <p class="Abstract" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm -5.4pt .0001pt;"> <span style="font-size:14px;"> <br /> </span> <span style="font-size:14px;line-height:107%;"> <b> <span style="font-size:14px;">Conclusion: </span> </b> <span style="font-size:14px;"> </span> </span> <span style="font-size:14px;line-height:107%;">The results reveal that participating in outdoor
