Araştırmanın çalışma grubu 36 kız ve 42 erkek olmak üzere toplam 78 öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Araştırma nitel modellerinden olgu bilim deseninde tasarlanmıştır. Çalışmanın verileri araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilmiş olan yarı yapılandırılmış açık uçlu sorular ile toplanmıştır. Araştırmda elde edilen nitel veriler içerik analizi yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. İçerik analizi sonrasında dört ana tema ve çeşitli kategoriler belirlenmiştir. Ortaya çıkan temalar mutluğun tanımı, birlikte olmaktan mutlu olunan kişiler, mutlu eden durumlar ve mutluluğun zihinsel temsilleri şeklinde isimlendirilmiştir. Yapılan içerik analizi sonucuna göre çocukların mutluluğu gülümseme, eğlenme, sevilme, hayal kurma ve sevdikleri ile bir arada olmak şeklinde tanımladıkları görülmüştür. Diğer açıdan çocukların kendilerini mutlu eden durumların neler olduğu incelendiğinde bazı çocukların hediye almak, oyun oynamak, yüzmek gibi maddi şeylerden mutlu odukları görülürken, bazılarının ise sevmek, değer görmek ve sevilmek gibi manevi şeylerden mutlu oldukları görülmüştür. Ayrıca çocuklar anne, baba, dede, öğretmen ve arkadaşların yanlarında olmalarından dolayı mutlu olduklarını ifade etmişlerdir. Diğer açıdan mevcut araştırma kapsamında çocukların mutluluk ile ilgili metaforik algıları incelenmiştir. Çocukların mutluluk kavramı ile ilgili üretmiş oldukları metaforlar incelendiği zaman bazı çocukların mutluluğu olumlu yaşantılar ve doyum verici kavramlarla ilişkilendirdiği, ancak bazı çocukların mutlulukla ilgili olumsuz metaforlar ürettikleri görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak, çocukların mutlulukla çok çeşitli zihinsel imgeler oluşturduğu bulunmuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlar alan yazın ışığında tartışılmıştır.

The research was designed in a qualitative model and the data were collected by a form consisting of semi-structured open-ended questions.

According to the results of the content analysis, it was seen that children define happiness as smile, fun, love, dream and being together with their loved ones. On the other hand, when the situations that make children happy are examined, it is seen that some children are happy with material things like buying gifts, playing, swimming, while others are happy with spiritual things such as loving, valued and loved. In addition, the children stated that they were happy that the parents, grandparents, teachers and friends were with them. On the other hand, within the scope of current research, metaphorical perceptions of children about happiness were examined. When the metaphors produced by children about the concept of happiness are examined, it is seen that some children associate happiness with positive experiences and satisfying concepts, but some children produce negative metaphors about happiness. As a result, it was found that children have formed a wide variety of mental images related to the concept of happiness. The results obtained are discussed in the light of the literature.
