was significant. There is a significant difference in the sub-dimensions of "companionship", "help" and "closeness" of "FQS". It has
been shown that there are significant differences according to gender in the scores of the "physical" and " Aesthetic" sub-dimensions
of the "LSS". According to the results of the independent samples t-test, a significant difference was found in the gender variable of
the participants according to the mean scores of the "OHQ-SF". The results of the MANOVA analysis showed that the main effect of
the class variable on the sub-dimensions of "FQS" and "LSS" was significant, while "FQS"'s " companionship" and ‘‘help", "LSS"'s It

The "educational", "sociological", "relaxation" and "physical" sub-dimensions of ‘‘LSS’’ were statistically
