ABSTRACT
Aim: The general aim of our basketball branch athletes was to examine the effect of participation in basketball training on life satisfaction and happiness levels of students attending schools.
Material and Method: A total of 168 athletes from primary, middle and high school participated in the study. Demographic characteristics, job satisfaction scale and happiness scale were used in the study. Frequency distributions were used in the evaluation of demographic data. Since the data showed normal distribution, the data were given as mean and standard deviation. The difference between groups and demographic variables was analyzed using independent t-test and one-way ANOVA. When there was a difference, Tukey HSD test, one of the post hoc tests, was used to determine which of the more than two variables were different. Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between variables
Results: It was determined that there was a significant difference between the gender variable and life satisfaction and happiness of the students participating in basketball training. In the age groups, it was determined that the life satisfaction and happiness levels of 8-10 years old were higher than 10-14 and 15-18 years old variables, and the life satisfaction and happiness levels of the students who have been doing sports between 1-3 years were higher than the students with more sports age. It was determined that there was a positive relationship between life satisfaction and happiness level.
Conclusions: As a result, the participation of students in basketball training together with their education life can increase their life satisfaction and happiness levels and enable them to become healthy and social individuals.
Keywords: Basketball, Happiness, Life Satisfaction, Psychology.

Materyal ve Metod: Araştırmaya ilkokul, ortaokul ve lise düzeyinde toplam 168 sporcu katılmıştır. Çalışmada demografik özellikler yaşam doyum ölçeği ve mutluluk ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada demografik verilerin değerlendirilmesinde frekans dağılımlarından faydalanılmıştır. Veriler normal dağılım gösterdiğinden veriler ortalama ve standart sapma olarak verilmiştir. Gruplar ve demografik değişkenler arasındaki fark indepedent sample t test, ve tek yönlü ANOVA analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Fark olduğunda ikiden fazla değişkende farklılığın hangilerinde olduğunu belirlemek için post hoc testlerden Tukey HSD testi yararlanılmıştır. Değişkenler arasında ilişkinin belirlenmesinde ise pearson korelasyon analizi yapılmıştır.
Bulgular: Basketbol antrenmanına katılan öğrencilerin cinsiyet değişkeni ile yaşam doyumu ve mutluluk arasında anlamlı farkın olduğu belirlendi. Yaş gruplarında 8-10 yaşın 10-14 ve 15-18 yaş değişkenlerine göre yaşam doyum ve mutluluk seviyelerinin yüksek olduğu, 1-3 yıl arasında spor yapan öğrencilerin spor yaşı fazla olan öğrencilere göre yaşam doyumu ve mutluluk düzeylerinin daha yüksek olduğu belirlendi. Yaşam doyumu ile mutluluk düzeyi arasında pozitif yönlü ilişkinin olduğu belirlendi.
Sonuç: Sonuç olarak basketbol branşı sporcularının öğrenim hayatları ile birlikte basketbol antrenmanına katılması öğrencilerin yaşam doyumu ve mutluluk seviyelerinin artmasına olanak sağlayarak sağlıklı ve sosyal bir birey olmalarına imkân sağlayabilmektedir.
