Abstract

Psikolojik Sağlık ve Sapkın Boş Zaman Etkileşimi: Sanal Bahis ve Kumar Tutkunları Üzerine Bir İnceleme

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, sapkın boş zaman eğilimi ile psikolojik sağlık arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Araştırmada verilerin toplanmasında tarama yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini Erzurum Atatürk Üniversitesi’nde öğrenim gören ve aktif çevrim için sanal bahis ve kumar oyunlarına katılan bireyler oluştururken, çalışmanın örneklem grubunu ise aynı bölgede yer alan 49’u kadın, 63’ü erkek olmak üzere toplam 112 bireyden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmada kişisel bilgi formu, yetişkin sapkın boş zaman ölçeği ve genel sağlık anketi veri toplama araçları olarak kullanılmıştır. Sapkın boş zaman eğilimi ölçeği ve psikolojik sağlık sonuçlarına göre, kadın katılımcıların sapkın boş zaman eğiliminin ve psikolojik sağlık puanlarının erkek katılımcılardan istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte sapkın boş zaman eğilimi ile psikolojik sağlık arasında pozitif yönde bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bulgular neticesinde psikolojik sağlığın kötüleşmesinin, sapkın davranışlara ilgiyi artırabileceğini göstermektedir veya sapkın boş zaman eğilimlerinin artması psikolojik sağlığın tehlikeli durumlara yönelmesine neden olabileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
