아웃도어 레크리에이션에서 회복환경과 자기결정동기 관계 분석

Abstract

It is essential to continue leisure activities for improving the satisfaction and quality of life. The continuity of leisure participation is related to self-determined motivation; thus, the internalization of motivation should be further studied. Self-determined motivation and internalization of motivation in Deci and Ryan (1985)’s self-determination theory has been addressed by many leisure scholars. Their studies revealed that social factors affect motivation internalization. However, physical environment factors also need to be considered because they are an important part of outdoor recreation. Therefore, restorative environment in attentive restoration theory as a physical environment factor was used in order to achieve the goal of this study. In total, 268 hikers were surveyed at three mountains in the Seoul area, and the data were analyzed by canonical correlation analysis. Results of the analysis were as follows. First, restorative environment and self-determined motivation had positive relationships. Second, the most significant motivation in restorative environment was identified as regulation motivation. Third, the influential factors on self-determined motivation in the outdoor recreation context were fascination and compatibility. Theoretical and empirical implications based on the analysis results are suggested.
