An investigation of adult’s leisure boredom, perceived social competence and self-esteem
Öz
Aim: This study aimed to examine the adult’s leisure boredom, perceived social competence and self-esteem level with regard to some variables, and to investigate the correlation between leisure boredom, perceived social competence and self-esteem.
Methods: The participants of this study constituted of 206 adults. “Leisure Boredom Scale” (LBS), “Perceived Social Competence Scale” (PSCS) and “Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale” (RSE) were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics, t-test, MANOVA and Simple Correlation analysis were used to analyze.
Results: MANOVA results indicated that the main effect of the gender variable on the sub-dimensions (boredom and satisfaction) of "LBS" were not significant. T-test analysis showed that there were no significant differences between the mean scores of “PSCS” and “RSE” with respect to gender. According to MANOVA results, there was no significant main effect of participation frequency to physical activities on the “LBS” s sub-scales. However, t-test results showed that there were no significant differences in “RSE” scores but there were significant mean differences in “PSCS” scores with regard to participation frequency to physical activities. The analysis also indicated that individuals participate in physical activity regularly have higher average scores. Individuals participated to the physical activities frequently had higher mean scores than others. According to correlation analysis results; it was found that all “LBS” s sub-scales have a significant and negative relationship between perceived social competence and self-esteem.
Conclusion: It can be said that the individual differences in the perception of leisure boredom is related to the negative or positive attitudes of individuals.
