relation between leisure boredom and leisure constraints in individuals, who
are participants/non-participants of recreational activities and living in

terms of demographic variables. 238 people who living in Turkey, Ankara city (Altındağ,
Çankaya, Etimegut and Mamak)-participant/non-participant of recreational
activities- 152 women and 86 male participated in this study. As a data
collection tool, “Leisure Boredom Scale” and “Leisure Constraints Questionnaire-18”,
were used. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistical methods, ANOVA
and Pearson Correlation test. In addition, research results showed that
participants’ scores obtained from “Leisure Boredom Scale” and “Leisure
Constraints Questionnaire-18”, there was a statistically significant difference
in gender, marital status and age variables, and there was a significant relationship
between these variables (p<0.05). As a result, it was determined that there
