The data were collected from 2 women and 11 men, 13 participants in total, who had paragliding experience in the summer of 2024, using semi-structured interview technique. The data obtained were tabulated with Microsoft Excel and analyzed with descriptive and content analysis methods. The emotional experiences of the participants were divided into three main categories under the theme of “Paragliding Experience”: before, during and after the flight. At each stage, both positive and negative emotions were experienced; emotions such as happiness, excitement, peacefulness as well as fear, uneasiness and anxiety were observed. These emotional reactions were analyzed by classifying them with certain codes. As a result of the research, it was observed that individuals who experienced paragliding exhibited both positive and negative emotional reactions at every stage of the flight, and it was revealed that these emotions differed before, during and after the flight.

Yamaç Paraşütü Etkinliklerine Katılan Bireylerin Yaşadıkları Duygusal Deneyimlerin Analizi: Nitel Bir Araştırma

Yamaç paraşütü, yalnızca fiziksel cesareti değil, aynı zamanda katılımcıların zihinsel ve duygusal sınırlarını zorlayan derin ve karmaşık bir deneyim sunan bir ekstrem spor dalıdır. Göklerde süzülmek, yerçekimine meydan okumak ve bilinmeze cesurca atılmak, bireylerde yoğun ve karmaşık duygusal tepkilere yol açmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, yamaç paraşütüne katılan bireylerin bu deneyimler sırasında yaşadıkları duygusal tepkilerin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma, nitel yöntemlerden olgu bilim (fenomenoloji) deseni ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği ile 2024 yazında yamaç paraşütü deneyimi olan 2 kadın ve 11 erkek, toplamda 13 katılımcıdan toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler Microsoft Excel ile tablolaştırılmış, betimsel ve içerik analiz yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Katılımcıların duygusal deneyimleri "Yamaç Paraşütü Deneyimi" teması altında, uçuş öncesi, uçuş sırası ve uçuş sonrası olmak üzere üç ana kategoriye ayrılmıştır. Her aşamada hem olumlu hem de olumsuz duygular yaşanmış; mutluluk, heyecan, huzur gibi duyguların yanı sıra korku, tedirginlik ve endişe gibi duygular gözlemlenmiştir. Bu duygusal tepkiler, belirli kodlarla sınıflandırılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, yamaç paraşütü deneyimi yaşayan bireylerin uçuşun her aşamasında hem olumlu hem de olumsuz duygusal tepkiler sergiledikleri görülmüş ve bu duyguların uçuş öncesi, sırası ve sonrasında farklılaştığı ortaya konmuştur.
