The main aim of this study is to compare the Life Satisfaction (LS) level of Recreational Choir Singers and Non-choir singers and define the effect of motivational factors to be a choir singer, the LS by using the linear regression model of LS and the benefits of participating in a choir as a singer. This research is descriptive research restricted to the choir singers in Antalya city centre. In this study, the questionnaire was handed to all choir singers (n=653) in Antalya and collected within 15 minutes. The questionnaire was designed to address demographic variables, and The Satisfaction with Life Scale-(SWLS) developed by Diener, Emmons, Larsen and Griffin (1985) adapted into Turkish by Köker (1991) and The Motivational Factors Scale of Being Choir Singer (MFSCS) developed by Ardahan (2016) was used. The LS level of non-choir singers was collected through an electronic questionnaire form from social media. As a result of this study it was found that participating in a choir as a choir singer has positive effect on LS. In other words when the LS level of recreational choir singers is compared with non-choir singers, the LS level of the choir singers is higher. In addition to this result, when the LS level of the choir singers is compared, there is no statistically meaningful difference due to marital status, gender, and being a salary earner, but there is a statistically meaningful difference by monthly income, the higher the income, the higher the LS level is. In addition to these, there is a statistically meaningful positive correlation between LS and age. The seven sub dimensions of MFSCS have a positive correlation with LS.
The purpose of present study was to examine the relation between social capital, life satisfaction and academic achievement on the example of Akdeniz University, School of Physical Education and Sports students.

Öz: Bu çalışmanın amacı ciddi boş zaman faaliyeti olarak gönüllülüğü AKUT örneğinde ele alıp AKUT Operasyon Ekibi'nin gönüllü profilini belirlemektir. Araştırmanın veri uzayı ve örneklemi AKUT Kentsel Operasyon Ekibi'nde gönüllü olan toplam 408 kişiden oluşmaktadır. Bu çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak demografik bilgilerin yanında; Ardahan (2015a) yılında geliştirilen AKUT'a Gönüllü Olma Ölçeğinin (AGOÖ) olduğu elektronik anket formu kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemlerin yanında, normal dağılım koşulları yerine gelen karşılaştırmalar için Independent Samples Test (t), One Way ANOVA testi (F), normal dağılım koşullarının yerine gelmediği karşılaştırma-lar için Mann-Whitney U (Z) testi gruplar arasındaki farkın belirlenmesinde Tukey-b testi kullanılmış ve sonuçlar 0.05 anlamlılık düzeyinde değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, AKUT'un Kentsel Operasyon Ekibi'nde gönüllü olan bireylerin önemli bir kısmı, doğa sporlarıyla aktif olarak ilgilenmekteler, spor dışı aktiviteleri olarak; arkadaşlarıyla ve ailesiyle birlikte olmakta, konserlere gitmekteler. Bunun yanında bireyleri rekreatif etkinliklere katılmaya motive eden birçok faktörün bireylerin AKUT'un Kentsel Operasyon Ekibinde gönüllü olması için önem arz etmediği, bu kurumda olma gerekçeleri sıradan, gündelik bir serbest zaman faaliyeti olan gönüllülük yerine ciddi boş zaman faaliyeti olan gönüllülüktür.
