dc.description.abstractIn this study, it was aimed to examine the motivation to participate, psychological well-being, harmony in life, and contentment with life assessment of female university student athletes in Kenya and Turkey. The study was designed with the descriptive and relational survey model as a quantitative research method. Motivation to Participate in Sport Scale (Gill et al., 1983), Psychological Well-being Scale (Diener et al., 2010), Harmony in Life Scale (Kjell et al., 2016) and Contentment with Life Assessment Scale (Lavallee et al., 2007) were used as data collection tools. The research group consisted of 379 students representing female university athletes in Turkey (224 athletes) and Kenya (155 athletes), and the participants were selected through convenience sampling among non-random sampling methods. As a result of the findings of the study, a significant difference was found in favor of Turkey in female athlete university students' motives for participation in sports and harmony in life. Psychological well-being levels of female athlete university students showed a significant difference in favor of Kenya. There was a significant difference between individual athletes and team athletes studying in Turkey in motivation to participate in sports and this difference was in favor of team athletes. As a result, female athlete university students' motives for participation in sports and adaptation in life were in favor of Turkey, but their psychological well-being levels were against Turkey. Although the psychological well-being levels of female athlete university students are in favor of Kenya, their motives for sports participation and harmony in life are against Kenya. In this case, it shows that there are issues that both countries should pay attention to in order for female university students to be better and more successful.en_US
