The importance of the benefits that individuals get from the activities they participate in their leisure is increasing day by day. It is known that the benefits gained are reflected positively in many aspects of the individual’s life. From this point of view, this study aimed to examine the effect of the benefits obtained by university students in their leisure on the prediction of entrepreneurship and academic hopelessness. The study group of the research consisted of a total of 457 students, 247 males and 210 females, selected by easy sampling method, and studying at Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Sports Sciences. In addition to the personal information form, Leisure Benefit Scale (LBS) developed by Ho (2008) and adapted into Turkish by Akgül et al. (2018); Entrepreneurship Scale (ES) developed by Yılmaz and Sünbül (2009) and Academic Hopelessness Scale (AHS) developed by Gökalp and Soykan (2020) were used as data collection tools. The normality distribution of the data was decided according to the skewness and kurtosis values. After the data showed normal distribution, t-test, Pearson Correlation test, Multiple Regression analysis were performed in the analysis. As a result, while there were differences between university students’ leisure benefits and academic hopelessness according to their gender, a significant relationship was found between leisure benefits and entrepreneurship and academic hopelessness. In this context, it was concluded that social benefit from leisure benefits was a significant predictor of entrepreneurship and academic hopelessness.

AbstractThis study aims to examine the motivational factors that direct individuals to computer games in the process of evaluating leisure activities. The study is designed in descriptive and relational survey models, which are among the quantitative research patterns. A total of 1677 individuals participated in the study. A personal information form and the Computer Gaming Motivation Scale were used. An independent sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation test were used to analyze the data. According to the results, there were significant differences in the concentration, entertainment, escape, learning, and socialization sub-dimensions of the participants in favor of the groups playing in Internet cafes. The findings indicate that when more time is spent with information and communication technologies, there is a decrease in concentration and an increase in entertainment and escape. Furthermore, when the relationship between the sub-dimensions of the scale was examined, positively moderate and high correlations were found among concentration, entertainment, escape, learning, and socialization. As a result, rapid technological changes and developments provide many opportunities for individuals. It is thought that individuals’ busy work lives and monotonous daily routines cause them to prefer easily accessible activities during their leisure time.

To determine the personal information of participants percentage and frequency methods, and to determine whether the data has normal distribution or not Shapiro Wilks normality test has been conducted and once it has been concluded, that the data was suitable for parametric test conditions, independent T Test and ANOVA Test has been used to analyse the data. Analysis shows, that with respect to gender, age, department, grade, and weekly leisure time sufficiency parameters there is no significant difference in perceived level of freedom, but with respect to welfare level and sports branch parameters there is a statistically meaningful difference. Consequently, it has been concluded, that in the perceived level of freedom of participants there are differences with respect to various parameters.
