In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistical methods such as percentage and frequency were applied to determine the distribution of the personal information of the participants, and the skewness and kurtosis values of the data were checked to determine whether the data showed a normal distribution and the data were found to comply with the parametric test conditions. Accordingly, besides descriptive statistical models, t-test, Anova, Tukey HSD multiple comparison test, which is applied to determine from which groups the significant difference arises, and correlation test analysis methods were used to test the relationship between leisure time management and boredom (a = 0.05). As a result, it was determined that there was a significant difference in the scheduling sub-dimension according to gender in the leisure time management, while there was a significant difference between leisure time boredom and leisure boredom in terms of age
