SERBEST ZAMAN İLGİLENİMİ VE YAŞAM DOYUM İLİŞKİSİNDE ETKİNLİK DOYUMUNUN KISMİ ARACILIK ETKİSİ: REKREASYONEL KOŞUCULAR ÖRNEĞİ

Öz

Serbest zamanlarımızda katıldığımız etkinlikler sağlıklı yaşam tarzımızın önemli bir bileşenidir. Serbest zaman etkinlik seçiminin altında yatan sürecin keşfetme ve buna bağlı oluşan yaşam doyumunu belirlenme isteği son zamanlarda giderek artmaktadır. Bu sebeple, serbest zaman etkinliği olarak rekreasyonel koşuyu tercih eden kadın ya da erkeklerin koşuya yönelik duydukları ilginin yaşam
doyum düzeylerine ne yönde etki yaptığını, bu etkinin oluşmasında ise etkinlik doyumunun aracılık rolünün olup olmadığını belirlemek çalışmanın temel amacını oluşturmuştur. Kolayda örneklem yöntemiyle tespit edilen 239 kişi üzerinde yürütülen bu çalışmada, veri toplama aracı olarak Serbest Zaman İlgilenim Ölçeği (SZİÖ), Yaşam Doyum Ölçeği (YDÖ) ve Etkinlik Doyum Ölçeği (EDÖ) kullanılmıştır. Ölçekler arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek için oluşturulan araştırma modeli Yapısal Eşitlik Modeliyle (YEM) değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, serbest zaman etkinliklerine duyulan ilginin rekreasyonel koşucuların yaşam doyum düzeyini artırdığı ve etkinlik sonucu oluşan doyumun modelde aracılık rolü etkisi yarattığı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, oluşan bu etki düzeyinin cinsiyete göre farklılaştığı da tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, rekreasyonel koşu deneyimindeki kişisel anlam (ilgilenim) ve buna bağlı oluşan yaşam doyumunu kavrayabilmek için etkinlikten haz almanın belirleyici bir ölçüt olduğu söylenebilir.
