Abstract

Amaç:
Bu çalışmanın amacı, doğa sporları aktivitelerine katılan bireylerin genel,
pozitif ve negatif duygu durumlarını ve etkinliklere yönelik günlük memnuniyet
düzeylerini incelemektir.

Materyal ve Metot: Çalışmaya, 104 gönüllü kişi (X_yaş=23,70±3,04) katılmış ve çalışma verileri, günlük olarak 3
gün boyunca Antalya, Köprülü Kanyon Milli Parkı'nda organize edilen
aktivitelerden sonra Pozitif ve Negatif Duygu Durumu Ölçeği (PANAS) ve Genel
Memnuniyet Anketi ile toplanmıştır. Katılımcıların doğa sporları aktivitelerine
yönelik duygu durumlarının ortalamalarının karşılaştırılmasında “Tek Yönlü
ANOVA testi”, “Tekrarlanan Ölçümlerde ANOVA testi” ve “Tekrarlanan Ölçümlerde
İki Yönlü ANOVA testi” kullanılmıştır.

Bulgular: Yapılan test sonuçlarına göre katılımcıların genel
duygu durumlarında 1. (X=2,74) ve 2. (X=2,97) gün arasında; pozitif duygu durumlarında
ise 1. (X=4,12) – 2. (X=4,28) ve 2. (X=4,28) – 3. (X=4,09) günler arasında anlamlı farklılık tespit
edilmiştir. Ayrıca, cinsiyetin katılımcıların genel, pozitif ve negatif duygu
durumlarını etkilemediği belirlenmiştir.

Sonuçlar: Yapılan çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, doğa
sporlarına katılım bireylerin genel ve pozitif duygu durumlarına olumlu etki
yaratmaktadır.

Examination of outdoor sports activities on individuals’ positive and negative affect

Abstract

Aim:
The purpose of this study is to examine the changes in overall affect, positive
affect (PA) and negative affect (NA) of the individuals involved in outdoor
activities. Moreover, the study aims to describe daily satisfaction levels of
the participants of outdoor sports activities.

Material and Methods: This study was conducted in the south of Turkey,
Antalya, Köprülü Canyon National Park and followed daily diary studies in
non-experimental design. 104 voluntary participants (X_age=23.70±3.04),
who were not actively involved in recreational sports activities, were measured
by The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). Besides, overall
Satisfaction Questionnaire was measured during their activities. Average of PA
and NA values of participants involved in outdoor sports activities were
compared for each of the three days by Repeated Measures ANOVA and Two-way
Repeated Measures ANOVA analysis.

Results: When
the overall changes in the affect levels of participants were considered, a
significant increase was observed between the 1st (X=2.74) and 2nd days (X=2.97). The changes in PA’s of participants were
significant with an increase between the 1st (X=4.12) and 2nd (X=4.28) days and a decrease between 2nd (X=4.28) and 3rd (X=4.09) days. Furthermore, it was determined that
gender did not affect the general, positive, and negative emotional states of
the participants.

Conclusion: The results reveal that participating in outdoor
sports activities positively influence the overall and positive affect levels
of participants.
