A three-part questionnaire was used in the study. In the first part, questions about the participant's demographic characteristics are asked; in the second part the Leisure Facilitator Scale, which is validated and verified in Turkish by Gürbüz, Öncü and Emir (2015), and the Behavior Scale developed by Batıgün and Şahin (2006) in the third part. The questionnaires were applied to Atatürk University in the academic year of 2017-2018 a total of 323 undergraduate students,152 males and 171 females. As a result of the analyzes made, participants were found to be prone to type B personality (x̄=2,37). It has also been found that there is a significant difference between individuals who prefer sporting activities and those who prefer social activities (p<0.01 ve p<0.05). According to the results of the analysis, this indicates that individuals who prefer sporting activities have more leisure facilitating structure than those who prefer social activities.
