Leisure activities serve as a valuable platform for personal growth and self-actualization, and the type of activity can significantly influence psychological well-being and individual development. The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the flourishing potential of sports and non-sports leisure activities among Iranian university students. This applied research was conducted using a quantitative, survey-based approach. Data were collected through a researcher-made 12-item questionnaire developed based on international sources and validated by experts. The statistical population included undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students from various universities in Iran, selected through convenience sampling and voluntary participation. Data were analyzed using independent samples t-tests. The findings indicated that participation in activities such as sports and music was associated with higher levels of self-actualization, whereas passive activities like watching television or resting did not show significant effects. Moreover, the gap between students’ actual and preferred leisure activities highlighted the need to facilitate access to meaningful participation. Overall, when leisure activities align with individual preferences, they can play a crucial role in achieving flourishing.
