One Way Multivariate Variance Analysis ANOVA (MANOVA) is used while testing the participants’ leisure satisfaction sub-scale scores in relation with difference between gender, age, and income levels.

According to perceived income; significant difference has been revealed between Leisure Satisfaction Scale’s sub-scale of education and aesthetic (F(4,194)=3.719; F(4,194)=3.664, p<0.01). As conclusion; leisure satisfaction levels change depending on income variable. Leisure satisfaction levels in education sub-scale were found higher for individuals whose perceived income levels are high (=3.85) than individuals with medium (=3.52) perceived income. Leisure satisfaction levels were found higher in LSS’s aesthetic sub-scale (p<0.05) on individuals with perceived income level is high(=4.03) than perceived income is medium (=3.68) and low (=3.52).
