Also, participants aged 45-65 scored higher on the scale than those aged [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. Similarly, Pala and Dinç (2013) stated that seniors see 'time' subfactor as a more significant constraint.…”

In this study it was intended to investigate the Boredom and satisfaction perceptions of the teachers who participate / do not participate in recreational activities during their leisure time in Konya. The screening model was used in the study. 330 questionnaire forms were distributed to the participants. As the result of the review, 300 of the questionnaires were found to be worth for analyzing after excluding those which were invalid due to the following reasons marking the same options or leaving the questionnaire incomplete. The information of 300 participants (46,7% male n=140, 53,3% female n=160) were taken into consideration. The Leisure Boredom Scale whose Turkish adaptation was made by Kara, Gürbüz and Öncü was used as data collection tool in the research. The boredom and satisfaction perceptions of the participants in their leisure time were evaluated in terms of the age, gender, income level and the frequency of participation. In the study significant difference was observed at the significance level in the leisure boredom perception according to variables age, gender and the frequency of participation. In terms of these variables significant difference was not observed in the satisfaction perceptions. On the contrary, in terms of the income level variable while significant difference wasn"t observed in the leisure boredom perception, in the satisfaction perception significant difference was observed. At the participation point of the educational administrators and teachers in leisure time activities contribution can be ensured to the satisfaction perception against the boredom with the necessary planning and implementing possibilities.

The purpose of this research is to examine university students' leisure time management and perceptions of boredom according to various factors and to put forward the relationship between those two concepts. The test group of the research has been selected with purposive sampling among students from Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Sport Sciences and 170 "Male" and 82 "Female" students with an average age of 21,71 ± 3,10 have volunteered to take part. In the research "Leisure Time Management Scale," which has been developed by Wang et al. (2011) and adapted into Turkish by Akgül and Karaküçük (2015), and "Leisure Boredom Scale," which has been developed by Iso-Ahola and Weisseinger (1990), and adapted to Turkish by Kara et al. (2014), has been used. In order to determine the personal information of participants the percentage and frequency methods; to determine whether the data has normal distribution or not the Shapiro Wilks normalcy test has been applied and after concluding, that the data is conformable with the parametric test conditions, MANOVA and Pearson Correlation tests have been used for data analysis. According to the analysis; in view of gender variable, in both leisure time management and leisure boredom perceptions scale a significant difference has been observed (p<0.05). In view of age variable, in the "Programming" subdimension of leisure time management and in all subdimensions of leisure boredom perception scale a significant difference has been observed (p<0.05). In view of wealth variable, in the "Leisure time manner" and "Programming" subdimensions of leisure time management scale a significant difference has been observed but no difference has been observed in leisure time perception. Finally, a negative and meaningful relationship has been observed between the two scales. In conclusion it is possible to claim, that the leisure time management and boredom perception of participants has had significant differences in view of some variables and that when they can manage their leisure time, they are satisfied.
