Abstract :This study sought to determine the correlation between attitudes toward physical activity and happiness orientation in secondary school students. The researchers designed the descriptive study based on a correlational analysis technic. The researchers used the independent samples t-test in comparing two independent variables and the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) in comparing more than two independent variables. Pearson Correlation analysis was used to measure the direction and strength of the relationship between the data. As a result of the analyses, the researchers determined significant differences in total scores of the students who took part in the study according to the level of family monthly income variable of the Attitude toward Physical Activity Scale and the class and maternal education level variables of the Happiness Orientations Scale, according to the answers of the students. Moreover, the researchers determined significant differences in the love, socialization and benefit subscales of the Attitude toward Physical Activity Scale and in the meaning of life, enjoying life and life occupation subscales of the Happiness Orientations Scale, according to the gender, class, maternal education level, paternal education level and level of family monthly income variables. In addition, according to the correlation analysis conducted, they determined a moderately significant correlation between the attitudes toward physical activity and happiness orientation of the students in a positive direction. As a consequence, it is possible to state that attitudes of the secondary school students toward physical activity were positively correlated with their happiness orientation.Keywords : Fiziksel Aktivite, Mutluluk, Ortaokul Öğrencileri
