Abstract

The aim of the study is to adapt the Leisure Satisfaction Scale developed by Beard and Raghep (1980) into Turkish and to measure its reliability and validity in the research group consisting of university students. The scale was translated from English to Turkish by three linguist lecturers. Afterwards, it was evaluated from the Turkish literature framework by two expert faculty members. The sample group consists of 412 people studying at universities in Ankara. 440 questionnaires were distributed to the participants and 411 of them were evaluated. In the study, the Leisure Satisfaction Scale developed by Beard and Raghep (1980) was used as a data collection tool in its short form consisting of 24 questions and 6 sub-dimensions. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.895. The internal consistency coefficients for the sub-dimensions ranged from .69 to .89. The 4th item in the psychological dimension and the 22nd item in the aesthetic dimension were not included in the analysis. According to these results, it can be said that the scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool.
