Examining the Factors Affecting the Selection of the Recreation Activity Type of University Students

Abstract

According to the type of recreational activity that individuals do in their leisure time, the mean score values of the “general scale” and its sub-dimensions do not show a significant difference (p>0.05). As a result of the findings, when the factors that affect the selection of the recreational activity type of the students were examined, it was found that the highest factor was “age-appropriateness”. The statement with the lowest mean in the scale is “healthy life programs on TV”. In addition, it was concluded that the most effective factors in individuals' choices on the recreational activities were that the activities were personally suitable for them and the environment was also suitable.
