The purpose of this study is to analyze the life
satisfaction of swimmers at the age group of 13-14 in Eastern and Southeastern
Anatolia Region. General screening model, which is one of the descriptive
methods, was used in the research. Research contains a total of 131 swimmers
composed of 50 females and 81 males at the age group of 13-14 competing in
semi-final of 2017-2018 Anatolian Stars League Eastern and Southeastern
Anatolia Region held in Van province. As the
data collection tool, “Life Satisfaction Scale” developed by Diener, Emmons, Laresen and Griffin (9) and adopted
into Turkish by Köker (25) and Yetim (34) was used in the study. The scale is a
self-evaluation 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (absolutely
inappropriate) to 7 (absolutely appropriate). The value of .95 was found as Cronbach
Alpha coefficient belonging to the life satisfaction scale of the participant
swimmers. In the evaluation of the data of the study, frequency, percentage,
mean and standard deviation among the descriptive statistical methods were used
and t test was applied for pairwise groups and post-hoc scheffe test was
applied after Anova test for multiple groups. It has been determined that “Life
Satisfaction Scale” of swimmers participating in our study display
statistically significant differences by the variables of sex, age, the grade
studied and monthly income (p<.05). It has been concluded following the
research that the variables of sex, age, grade studied and monthly income are
important variables affecting the life satisfaction of swimmers the age group
of 13-14.
