Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the happiness levels of the students in the faculties of sports sciences and to compare them in terms of various variables. In this study, which was conducted to examine the happiness levels of the students of the faculty of sports sciences, the relational screening model was used. With this model, it is aimed to determine the existence and degree of changes by applying statistical tests and measuring the level of relationship between two or more variables as a result of the comparison (Karasar, 2012). The population of the research consists of students at Erzurum Technical University. The sample group consists of 174 students, 113 of whom are male and 61 are female. In the research, the "Personal Information Form" created by the researchers to determine the demographic information of the students of the faculty of sports sciences, and the "Happiness Scale", which was developed by Demirci and Ekşi (2018) and consisting of 6 items, was used to determine the happiness levels. The analysis of the obtained data was made in the statistical program. In the study, frequency analysis to determine the demographic characteristics (personal information) of the participants, T-Test for independent variables to compare the happiness levels according to gender, marital status, sporting status and the type of sport they did; One-way Anova Test was applied to compare happiness levels according to age, class and place of residence. When comparing the happiness levels of the participants according to their gender and place of residence, significant differences were found between the groups (p<0.05), and no significant differences were found between the groups in the comparison made according to the status of doing sports and the type of sport (p>0.05). When the results obtained in the research were examined, it was determined that the happiness levels of female participants (X=3,53±0,80) were higher than male participants (X=3,99±0,80) and those living in the province (X=3,79±0,82) were higher than those living in the district (X=3,40±0,74). It has been determined that the happiness of the participants who do (X=3,68±0,87) and do not do (X=3,73±0,65) sports is at a similar level, and the happiness of the participants who do individual (X=3,66±0,88) and team sports (X=3,71±0,78) is at a similar level.
