Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between recreational awareness and mental well-being levels of university students. The data obtained in this study, in which recreational awareness and mental well-being scales were used, were analyzed with SPSS 26 program. In this context, it was determined that the data were suitable for normal distribution and independent sample t test was used in pairwise comparisons and analysis of variance was used in the comparison of more than two groups. In cases where significant differences were found in the analysis of variance, Bonferroni test was used. In addition, Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between recreational awareness and mental well-being.  As a result of this research conducted with 220 university students studying in the departments of tourism animation and tourism management at Alanya Chamber of Commerce and Industry Vocational School of Tourism, it was determined that as the recreational awareness levels of the students increased, their mental well-being levels also increased.
