Özet:

 The aim of the research is to examine the socio-economic happiness levels of Generation Z individuals participating in recreational activities. The study aims to determine the influence of the socio-economic status of Generation Z individuals on their happiness levels, as well as to identify the types of recreational activities they engage in. The research seeks to explore how participation in recreational activities affects individuals happiness levels. A survey model using descriptive research methods was employed in the study. The data collection instrument will be the Short Form of the Oxford Happiness Scale, adapted to Turkish culture by Doğan and Çötok 2011. The data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS 25 statistical package. The distribution of the data was examined through kurtosis and skewness values and was found to be within the  2 range, indicating a close approximation to a normal distribution. Percentage, frequency, one-way analysis of variance, and independent samples t-test were utilized in data analysis. The analyses revealed no statistically significant difference in happiness levels among participants based on gender, age, and income level variables. Furthermore, it was found that individuals who allocate free time to themselves and spend money on recreational activities have higher average happiness levels. Additionally, those who travel to distant places for recreational activities have higher happiness levels. Among participants, individuals who engage in active sports exhibit statistically significant differences in happiness levels compared to those who do not engage in active sports. Moreover, participants happiness levels significantly differ in favor of those who do not consider money as a barrier to participation in recreational activities.

 Araştırmanın temel amacı, Rekreasyonel aktivitelere katılan z kuşağının sosyo-ekonomik açıdan mutluluk düzeylerinin incelenmesidir. Araştırmada yer alacak Z kuşağı bireylerinin sosyo-ekonomik durumlarının mutluluk düzeylerine etkisi ile katılım sağlanan rekreatif etkinlik türlerinin saptanması amaçlanmıştır. Rekreatif etkinliklere katılımın bireylerin mutluluk düzeylerini nasıl etkilediğine cevap aranmaktadır. Araştırma betimsel araştırma yöntemlerinden tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak Doğan ve Çötok 2011 tarafından Türk kültürüne uyarlaması yapılan Oxford Mutluluk Ölçeği Kısa Formu kullanılacaktır. Elde edilen verilerin analizi Spss 25 paket istatistik programı ile yapılmıştır. Verilerin dağılımı basıklık ve çarpıklık değerleri ile incelenmiş ve  2 aralığında olduğu tespit edilmiş ve bu nedenle normal dağılıma yakın olduğu kararı verilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde yüzde, frekans, tek yönlü varyans analizi ve bağımsız örneklem t testi kullanılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda cinsiyet, yaş, gelir düzeyi değişkenlerine göre mutluluk düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık tespit edilmemiştir. Katılımcıların kendine serbest zaman ayıran ve parayı rekreatif etkinlikler için harcarım diyenlerin mutluluk düzey ortalamalarının daha yüksek olduğu ayrıca bulunduğu yerden uzak bir yere rekreatif etkinlik yapmak için giderlerin mutluluk düzeylerinin daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcılar arasında aktif olarak spor yapan bireylerin ise mutluluk düzeyleri aktif spor yapmayan katılımcılara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde farklılaştığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayırca katılımcıların rekreatif etkinliklere katılım için paranın engel olup olmadığı sorusuna göre mutluluk düzeylerinin paranın engel olmadığını düşünenlerin lehine anlamlı şekilde farklılaştığı tespit edilmiştir.
