Rekreasyonel Korolarda Korist Olanlarla Korist Olmayanların Yaşam Doyumlarının Karşılaştırılması

Öz

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı rekreasyonel korolarda korist olanlarla korist olmayanların yaşam doyum (YD) düzeylerinin karşılaştırılması ve bireyleri korist olmaya motive eden motivasyonel faktörlerin korolara katılarak elde edilen faydalarla ve bu faktörlerin bireylerin YD’larına etkisinin doğrusal regresyon modeliyle sorgulanmasıdır. Bu çalışma tanımlayıcı bir çalışmadır ve Antalya şehir merkezindeki korolarla sınırlandırılmıştır. Çalışmada kullanılan anket formu Antalya’daki korolara katılan bireylere (n=653) dağıtıldıktan 15 dk sonra toplanmıştır. Bu çalışmada kullanılan anket formunda demografik değişkenlerin yanında Diener, Emmons, Larsen and Griffin (1985) tarafından geliştirilen ve Köker (1991) yılında Türkçeye uyarlanan YD ölçeği ve Ardahan (2016) tarafından geliştirilen Bireyleri Korolarda Korist Olmaya Motive Eden Faktörler ölçeği (MFSCS) kullanılmıştır. Yaşamları boyunca hiçbir şekilde korist olmayanların verileri sosyal medya üzerinden toplanmıştır. Sonuç olarak rekreasyonel korolara korist olarak katılmak bireylerin YD’ları üzerinde pozitif etkiye sahiptir. Diğer bir deyişle, rekreasyonel korolarda korist olanlarla korist olmayanların yaşam doyum düzeyleri karşılaştırıldığında, korolara korist olarak katılanların YD’ları daha yüksektir. Bu sonuca ilave olarak, rekreasyonel korolara korist olarak katılanların YD’ları cinsiyet, medeni hal, kişisel gelir ve çalışma durumuna göre istatistiki olarak anlamlı bir farklılık göstermezken, kişisel gelire göre istatistiki olarak anlamlı farklılık yaratmakta, gelir arttıkça YD düzeyi de artmaktadır. Buna ilave olarak Yaş ve YD arasında ve MFSCS ölçeğinin yedi alt boyutu ile YD arasında istatistiki olarak anlamlı pozitif bir ilişki vardır.

Comparison of the Life Satisfaction Level of Recreational Choir Singers and Non-Choir Singers

Öz

The main aim of this study is to compare the Life Satisfaction (LS) level of Recreational Choir Singers and Non-choir singers and define the effect of motivational factors to be a choir singer, the LS by using the linear regression model of LS and the benefits of participating in a choir as a singer. This research is descriptive research restricted to the choir singers in Antalya city centre. In this study, the questionnaire was handed to all choir singers (n=653) in Antalya and collected within 15 minutes. The questionnaire was designed to address demographic variables, and The Satisfaction with Life Scale- (SWLS) developed by Diener, Emmons, Larsen and Griffin (1985) adapted into Turkish by Köker (1991) and The Motivational Factors Scale of Being Choir Singer (MFSCS) developed by Ardahan (2016) was used. The LS level of non-choir singers was collected through an electronic questionnaire form from social media. As a result of this study it was found that participating in a choir as a choir singer has positive effect on LS. In other words when the LS level of recreational choir singers is compared with non-choir singers, the LS level of the choir singers is higher. In addition to this result, when the LS level of the choir singers is compared, there is no statistically meaningful difference due to marital status, gender, and being a salary earner, but there is a statistically meaningful difference by monthly income, the higher the income, the higher the LS level is. In addition to these, there is a statistically meaningful positive correlation between LS and age. The seven sub dimensions of MFSCS have a positive correlation with LS.
