Bedir, Fatih, Onal, Levent, Stebbins, Robert

Abstract

Deviant or purple leisure associated with crime and criminal behaviour is notable as the non-innocent aspect of leisure. However, the deviant behavioural tendencies of leisure participants are an overlooked issue. The purpose of this study is to develop a scale to evaluate the deviant leisure tendencies of individuals. First, in-depth interviews and content analysis were conducted to generate the initial items. Second, exploratory factor analysis was conducted with 165 university students to determine the ideal number of items and to facilitate factor extraction. Third, confirmative factor analysis was employed to investigate 350 subjects on-site. Experimental evidence on psychometric qualities was uncovered through these processing steps and the Adult Deviant Leisure Tendency Scale (ADLTS) (one dimension and five items) was developed. As a result, it can be said that ADLTS is a valid and reliable measurement tool for individuals.
