Life Satisfaction is a significant indicator of subjective well-being. It is assessed as a single, global measure or as a reference related to important areas of life, such as family and work. Assessing life satisfaction in people with special needs and verifying how this construct correlates with demographic variables such as gender, age and schooling, for example, was the objective of this study. Data collection was performed through a questionnaire with a Life Satisfaction Scale. The sample consisted of 48 people from Juazeiro do Norte in Ceará, aged 14-71, mostly male (60.4%). The results revealed that in 70.9% of respondents believe that their life is close to ideal in most aspects and that 72.9% agree that they are satisfied with their lives as it is. 41.7% reported that the conditions of their lives are excellent. Men said they were more satisfied with life than women, as well as older people and more religious people. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the loss of certain abilities, such as walking for example, does not seem to cause great changes in the feeling of life satisfaction in the studied population.

Bu amaç doğrultusunda tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilmiş olan 140 (%53.2) “Kadın” ve 123 (%46.8) “Erkek” toplam 263 üniversite öğrencisi çalışmaya gönüllü olarak katılmıştır.Araştırmada, katılımcıların rekreasyonel faaliyetlere katılımlarına engel teşkil edebilecek faktörlerin belirlenmesi için Gürbüz ve Karaküçük tarafından geliştirilen üniversite öğrencilerinin rekreasyonel etkinliklerine katılmalarına engel teşkil edebilecek unsurları değerlendiren “Boş Zaman Engelleri” kullanılmıştır. Katılımcıların yaşam doyumlarını ölçmek amacıyla ise Diener ve arkadaşları (1985) tarafından geliştirilen ve Yetim (1993) tarafından Türkçe’ye uyarlanan YDÖ (Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği) kullanılmıştır.Katılımcıların kişisel bilgilerinin dağılımlarının belirlenmesi için yüzde (%) ve frekans (f) yöntemleri; verilerin normal bir dağılıma sahip olup olmadığının belirlenmesi için Shapiro Wilks normallik testi uygulanmış ve bunun neticesinde verilerin non parametrik test koşullarına uygun olduğunun anlaşılmasından sonra anlamlı farklılıkların belirlenmesi için Mann-Whitney U ve Kruskall Wallis testleri, Boş Zaman Engelleri Ölçeği ile Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi için ise Spearman Korelasyon testi uygulanmıştır.Sonuç olarak; boş zaman engelleri ile yaşam doyumu arasında, cinsiyet değişkeni açısından bakıldığında yaşam doyumu ile cinsiyet değişkeni arasında anlamlı bir farklılık olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Boş zaman engelleri açısından ise sadece zaman alt boyutunda anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu, spor yapma durumuna göre boş zaman engelleri arasında da sadece ilgi eksikliği boyutunda anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu saptanmış, yaşam doyumuna göre incelendiğinde ise sportif etkinliklere katılmayan kişilerden kaynaklı anlamlı bir farklılığın olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Refah düzeyi değişkenine göre incelendiğinde yaşam doyumu düzeyinde anlamlı bir farklılık saptanmasına karşın boş zaman engelleri açısından refah düzeyinde ise anlamlı bir farklılık olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca yaşam doyumu ile boş zamanları değerlendirme güçlüğü çekmek arasında anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu, boş zaman değerlendirme güçlüğü çekmek ile boş zaman engelleri arasında ise tesis-hizmet ve zaman alt boyutlarında anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

The purpose of this study is to explore the outcomes of therapeutic dance movement on physical and emotional domains for elderly people measured by the functional fitness assessment for adults elder than 60 years, Life Satisfaction Scale, and interview. The authors recruited eight volunteers who attended the dance program for 90 minutes per week and seven volunteers who did not attend but were in the same daycare unit. The interview data substantiated that therapeutic dance movement helped the elders maintain their physical functioning ability and reduced the fear of falling, but the results showed no statistical evidence of significant difference between the group-attended elders and the group-unattended elders. Additionally, the group-oriented dance program effectively helped elders to maintain their social network via talking intelligently and interacting smoothly.

Life satisfaction influences sustainable personal growth among students by ensuring that they more firmly apply themselves in their education. Universities represent an environment where students may improve their life satisfaction through better academic performance and being engaged in extracurricular sport. This study evaluates life satisfaction (LS) among university students, 18 to 28 years of age to confirm whether academic performance, involvement in sports and physical activity are factors relating to higher levels of LS among university students. The study uses the Brief Multidimensional Life Satisfaction Scale. Over a three-year timeframe, a questionnaire was administered to a sample of 875 students across areas of study in institutions of higher education in Serbia. The data were analyzed using Mann–Whitney and Kruskal–Wallis tests. LS among students is found to be significantly improved under the following conditions: removing the burden to pay for one’s tuition, having a better Grade Point Average (GPA) as well as being involved in sport. Moreover, the optimum level of physical activity to positively affect LS is found to be four to five hours a week.
