In our research, we studied the leisure habits of students with disabilities (8-18 years, n = 289) living in the North Great Plain region using a questionnaire method. The aim of the research was to examine the leisure habits of children with disabilities in the region, their main characteristics, and their recreational attitudes. Our goal was also the gender test to see whether there was a significant difference between the sexes and how this correlated with the results of the study of leisure habits in the wild. We sought to find out what the most common leisure time activities for general and high school students with disabilities are, how does this affect genders? What is their attitude towards spending time on leisure? What are their sporting habits and sporting consumption? We have found that the recreational consumption of young people with disabilities is similar to the results of surveys carried among normal children as passive leisure time is dominant (listening to music, watching TV). In girls' leisure time, the preference for listening and reading is more dominant while watching TV, especially popular sports channels are more characteristic of boys. For leisure-time activities, staying fit, trying out new things, and community experience is crucial for young people with disabilities. Recreational sports prove to be popular, as more than 50% of both girls and boys say they are engaged in recreational sports.

Research Population

It was aimed in this study to reveal and compare strategies of students of three types of high schools to cope with stress through leisure time. The research population consisted of high school students in Konya province, Turkey. The sample consisted of 280 male and 224 female vocational high school, Anatolian  high school and sports high school students. In the study, the Demographic Personal Information Form was used to collect personal information. The “Strategies to Cope with Stress through Leisure Time Scale” (SCSLTS) was used to identify the leisure time strategies. This scale was developed by Iwasaki and Mannell (2000). It was translated into Turkish, and its validity and reliability studies were conducted by Çevik, Özcan and Munusturlar (2018). No difference was found in the strategies of the students to cope with stress through leisure time according to the grade level, income, and maternal and paternal educational level factors. Statistical variations were observed based on the gender and sporting factors (p<.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the mood enhancement dimension depending on the school type factor. However, it was found that the mean scores of the vocational high school students in terms of the dimensions of leisure time friendship and temporary coping ability were higher than those of the students of the other schools, and these differences were also statistically significant (p<.05). The vocational high school students had higher mean scores in the leisure time strategies sub-dimension than the students of other schools. Accordingly, it can be said that the leisure time strategy scores may differ according to the school type and that the students receiving vocational education were more optimistic in determining leisure time strategies than the students of Anatolian high school and sports high school.

The purpose of this study was to gather data about university students' familiarity with the civil rights laws pertaining to people with disabilities: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. A majority of nondisabled students and students with disabilities reported that they had little, very little, or no knowledge at all of civil rights laws pertaining to people with disabilities. In addition, a significant difference was found between the number of university students with disabilities and students without disabilities requesting accommodations from employers. Furthermore, less than 30% of the university students with disabilities in this study requested a workplace accommodation. Given the results of this research, it is recommended that university students with disabilities receive greater exposure to civil rights laws pertaining to people with disabilities.

BACKGROUND Problematic internet use (PIU) and the psychological variables related to subjective well-being among people with disabilities has received very little attention in scientific literature. OBJECTIVE The objectives of this study were to observe whether people with disabilities experience PIU like that of young people without disabilities; to relate PIU to psychological distress and problems in young disabled people, and to determine whether these problems are similar to or different from those experienced by young people without disabilities. METHODS PIU was evaluated using the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and psychological distress was evaluated using the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation-Outcome Measure (CORE-OM). The sample comprised 1,794 young people (408 university students with disabilities and 1,386 university students without disabilities). RESULTS The group of university students with disabilities showed less PIU than the non-disabled students, but the worst scores in variables referencing psychological discomfort were found among those students with disabilities who also had PIU. CONCLUSIONS PIU is related to bigger problems in disabled people for whom, with regard to problems in social relationships or the probability of self-harm, it represents a higher risk than for people without disabilities.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between lifelong learning tendencies and self-efficacy perceptions of university students using their demographic characteristics (gender, grade, faculty, income and leisure time activities). The study was designed as a relational survey model. The study group was consisted of 470 students (1st and 4th grade) studying at different faculties of Bartın University during 2014-2015 academic year. “Scale for Determining Lifelong Learning Tendencies” (Coşkun, 2009) and “General Self-Efficacy Scale” (Jerusalem and Schwarzer, 1979) scales were used as data collection tools. According to results, students’ lifelong learning tendencies were high. When lifelong learning tendencies were examined in terms of the demographic variables of the study, significant differences were found in gender, father’s occupation and reading books and watching TV activities which are among leisure time activities. This significant difference was in favour of girls; those whose father was accountant, and those who read books and do not watch television. The results of the study also revealed that university students’ self-efficacy perceptions were high. When self-efficacy perceptions was examined in terms of the demographic variables of the study, significance was found in gender, faculty, going to cinema and not reading book, which are among leisure time activities. This significant difference was in favour of boys; those who studied in the School of Physical Education and Sport; and those who go to cinema and do not read book. A significant positive relationship was found between university students’ lifelong learning tendencies and their self-efficacy perceptions. ÖzetBu çalışmanın temel amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinin demografik özellikleri (cinsiyet, sınıf, fakülte/yüksekokul, gelir düzeyi ve serbest zaman etkinlikleri)  doğrultusunda yaşam boyu öğrenme eğilimleri ile özyeterlik algıları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. Araştırma ilişkisel bir tarama modelidir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 2014-2015 akademik yılında Bartın Üniversitesi'nin farklı fakültelerinde/ yüksekokulunda lisans programlarına devam eden 1. ve 4. sınıf öğrencilerinden toplam 470 katılımcı oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Yaşam Boyu Öğrenme Eğilimlerini Belirme Ölçeği (Coşkun, 2009) ile Genellenmiş Öz-yetkinlik Beklentisi Ölçeği (Jerusalem ve Schwarzer, 1979) kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre üniversite öğrencilerinin yaşam boyu öğrenme eğilimleri yüksek düzeydedir. Yaşam boyu öğrenme eğilimi araştırmanın demografik değişkenleri açısından incelendiğinde cinsiyet, baba mesleği ve serbest zaman etkinlikleri içerisinde yer alan kitap okuma ve televizyon izleme etkinliklerinde anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmuştur. Bu anlamlı farklılığın kızların, babası muhasebeci olanların, kitap okuyan ve televizyon izlemeyen üniversite öğrencileri lehine olduğu görülmüştür.Araştırma sonuçlarına göre üniversite öğrencilerinin özyeterlik algılarının da yüksek düzeyde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Özyeterlik algıları araştırmanın demografik değişkenleri açısından incelendiğinde cinsiyet, fakülte/yüksekokul ve serbest zaman etkinlikleri içerisinde yer alan kitap okumama ve sinemaya gitme etkinliklerinde anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmuştur.  Anlamlı farklılığın erkeklerin,  Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Yüksekokulu öğrencilerinin, kitap okumayan ve sinemaya giden üniversite öğrencilerinin lehine olduğu görülmüştür.  Üniversite öğrencilerinin yaşam boyu öğrenme eğilimleri ile özyeterlik algıları arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişkinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

The aim of this paper was to identify differences in the perception of social support for young people with and without disabilities in the age of 18-35 in the Tuzla Canton. The sample of examinees consists of two sub-classes. The first subsample is made of young people with disabilities, chronological age 18-35, both sexes (N = 50). The second subsample consists of young people with no disabilities, chronological age 18-35, both sexes (N = 50). The data obtained by the research were processed by the method of parametric and nonparametric statistics. The frequencies, percentages and measures of central tendency (arithmetic mean, standard deviation) are calculated. P-values were used to investigate the differences between the examined variables, and the variance analysis was used to investigate the significance of differences. The results of research on differences in the perception of social support among young people with disabilities and young people without disabilities show that there is a statistically significant difference in the most applied variables. Based on the results obtained in the case of youth with disabilities, it would be advisable to start with integration into social life at all levels.

The aim of the paper is to show differences in the accessibility of the environment between young people with disabilities and young people without disabilities. The sample of respondents consisted of two sub-samples. The first sub-sample was composed of young people with disabilities, chronologically aged 18-35, both sexes 50 of them. The second subsample consisted of young people without disabilities, chronologically aged 18-35, both sexes 50 of them, selected by random selection method from the Tuzla Canton area. The data obtained by the research were processed using the method of parametric and nonparametric statistics. Frequencies, percentages and measures of central tendency are calculated (arithmetic mean, standard deviation). To investigate the differences between the tested variables, p-values were used, and variance analysis was used to test the significance of the differences. The obtained results showed that there is a statistically significant difference in the adaptability of space and the accessibility of the environment between young people with disabilities and young people without disabilities. Young people with disabilities are the worst evaluators of the accessibility of public transport and the environment, and the best evaluators of accessibility of housing.
