“…In contrast, some past research (Barcelona & Ross, 2002;Terzioğlu & Yazıcı, 2003;Young et al, 2003;Zizzi et al, 2004;Balcı & İlhan, 2006;Tekin et al, 2007;Miller et al, 2008;Lindsey et al, 2009;Lindsey, 2012;de Jager & Gbadamosi, 2013) found that male students were more likely to be participants and other earlier studies (Watson II et al, 2006;Miller et al, 2008;Milton & Patton, 2011) showed that lower-division students (freshmen and sophomores) were more likely to participate in campus recreational facilities. However, earlier research (Shank & Beasley, 1998;Frauman, 2005;Clemes et al, 2008;Sökmen, 2011;Moosmayer & Siems, 2012) indicated that there were no differences in the perceived importance of quality of campus life facilities with respect to students' gender. Marital status was also a contributing indicator, while results of a number of studies (Terzioğlu & Yazıcı, 2003;Frauman, 2005;Miller et al, 2008) revealed that married students were less likely to participate in campus recreational programs.…”
