Journal Title: Journal of Human Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to examine the leisure constraints and level of perceived freedom of university students according to different variables. 250 university students in total, 174 (69%) of whom are males and 78 (31%) of whom are females selected by random sampling have voluntarily attended the research study. A survey model has been used in the study. The sample of the study consists of students studying at Istanbul University's Faculty of Sports Sciences. In order to identify the leisure obstacles of the participants, the Obstacles of Leisure Scale, which was developed by Alexandris and Carroll (1997) and adopted into Turkish by Karaküçük and Gürbüz (2007); and in order to identify the level of perceived freedom of the participants, the Perceived Freedom in Leisure Scale, which was developed by Witt and Ellis (1985) and adopted into Turkish by Yerlisu Lapa and Ağyar (2011), were used along with a personal information form prepared by the researcher as a data collection tool in the research. Percent (%) and frequency methods have been utilized to identify the distribution of the personal information of the participants and the Shapiro-Wilks normality test has been applied to identify whether data had normal distribution. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskall Wallis tests have been applied to determine the significant differences after it was determined that the data were suitable to non-parametric test conditions. According to the gender variable, no significant difference (except Individual Psychology) has been identified in the sub-dimensions of the obstacles of the leisure scale and perceived freedom in leisure scale (p>0.05). While there is a significant difference in all sub-dimensions of the perceived freedom in leisure scale (p<0.05), no significant difference has been found in the sub-dimensions of the obstacles of the leisure time scale (p>0.05) according to age. In conclusion, it has been determined that while there are no differences between the leisure obstacles according to the gender of the participants, the level of perceived freedom increases as the age increases.
