Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the leisure time attitudes of some students studying at Mugla Sıtkı Kocman University Campus, to determine how these attitudes contribute to academic success and to provide the necessary suggestions. The sample of the study consists of 380 students studying at Mugla Sıtkı Kocman University Campus. As data collection tools in the study, the data collected in the study were recorded in the SPSS package program. Independent t test was used for the difference analysis between two variables, one-way analysis of variance for the difference analysis between more than two variables, and the Pearson Correlation test for the analysis of the relationships between variables. Percentage and frequency analysis were used in the analysis of demographic variables. While affective and cognitive factors did not differ according to the academic year variable, a difference was found in the behavioral factor according to the academic year of the participants. While the affective and cognitive factors did not differ according to the academic year variable, the behavioral factor was different according to the academic year of the participants. The mean and standard deviations of the sub-dimensions of the Leisure Attitude Scale were given according to the academic grade averages of the female and male participants. Accordingly, the averages of the attitude scale of men and women did not differ much according to their academic achievement. No statistically significant positive or negative correlation was found between the female participants' GPA and Leisure Attitude Scale sub-dimensions according to Pearson Correlation results (p> 0.01). One-way ANOVA test was used in this study, which examines leisure time attitudes according to the academic achievements of students in the faculties determined in Mugla Sıtkı Kocman University. Accordingly, affective (F = 1.16, P> 0.05), cognitive (F = 1.30, p> 0.05), behavioral (F = 1.14, p> 0.05), total questionnaire score (F = 1.44, p> 0.05) was determined. According to this, no significant difference was found on the affective, cognitive and behavioral sub-dimensions of the students in the determined faculties of Mugla Sıtkı Kocman University. According to Pearson Correlation results, no statistically significant positive or negative correlation was found in the mean scores of the male participants and the "Leisure Attitude" scale sub-dimensions (p> 0.01).
