With this model, it is aimed to determine the existence and degree of changes by applying statistical tests and measuring the level of relationship between two or more variables as a result of the comparison (Karasar, 2012). The population of the research consists of students at Erzurum Technical University. The sample group consists of 174 students, 113 of whom are male and 61 are female. In the research, the "Personal Information Form" created by the researchers to determine the demographic information of the students of the faculty of sports sciences, and the "Happiness Scale", which was developed by Demirci and Eksi (2018) and consisting of 6 items, was used to determine the happiness levels.

When the results obtained in the research were examined, it was determined that the happiness levels of female participants (X=3,53±0,80) were higher than male participants (X=3,99±0,80) and those living in the province (X=3,79±0,82) were higher than those living in the district (X=3,40±0,74). It has been determined that the happiness of the participants who do (X=3,68±0,87) and do not do (X=3,73±0,65) sports is at a similar level, and the happiness of the participants who do individual (X=3,66±0,88) and team sports (X=3,71±0,78) is at a similar level.
