Leisure Satisfaction Research Articles

시니어와 청년의 여가 격차 분석

In an egalitarian society, everyone should be provided with an environment where they can freely enjoy their leisure time and satisfy their leisure needs. However, in reality, the leisure environment for each individual is not equal, resulting in a leisure gap. While leisure utilization is a crucial issue for seniors who have relatively more leisure time, they are known to have lower leisure utilization abilities, leading to a significant leisure gap between seniors and other generations. The purpose of this study is to closely examine the current status of the leisure gap between seniors and youths and demonstrate the leisure disparities. To achieve this, a mixed research method was employed by utilizing the National Survey on Leisure Activities and senior focus group interviews. The analysis of the National Survey on Leisure Activities revealed leisure gaps in nine categories: leisure diversity, leisure cost, leisure time, public leisure resources perception, digital leisure activities, leisure perception, leisure satisfaction, leisure purpose, and leisure activity types. The results of a cross-generational comparative analysis on the factors influencing overall leisure life satisfaction, with the influences of education and income being controlled, revealed a total of 5 common determinants: perceived importance of leisure, sufficiency of leisure time, diversity of leisure activities, sufficiency of information about public leisure programs, and sufficiency of leisure costs. Furthermore, it was confirmed that leisure perception had the greatest impact on seniors' leisure satisfaction, and leisure cost had more influence than leisure time. Suggestions for resolving senior leisure disparities were provided, along with academic and practical implications.

고령자의 사회적 건강 변화궤적에 대한 잠재계층분류와 예측요인 : 성장혼합모형(Growth Mixture Model)을 중심으로

Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify the latent classes for a change in trajectory of the level of social health of older adults who have gone through the COVID-19 pandemic and analyze the characteristics of each class, thereby identifying predictive factors affecting the social health of older adults. Methods: To analyze the types of changes in the trajectory of the level of social health, Korean Welfare Panel Study (KOWEPS) data (2019~2021) was used. The subjects of the study were 2845 older adults who responded at all three time points. The Growth Mixed Model (GMM), which is a subject-centered approach, was applied to analyze the latent classes. In addition, χ2 and ANOVA were conducted to identify the characteristics of each latent type, and a multinominal logistic regression was applied to analyze the influencing factors between classes. Results: As the results of applying GMM indicate, the latent classes for the changes in trajectory of social health were classified into four groups: a low level decrease-increase group, a medium level maintenance-increase group, a high level decrease group, and a high level maintenance group. There was a difference in leisure satisfaction and demographic between classes. In terms of the influencing variables, it was analyzed that the greater the number of women, the more religious the individuals, and the higher their leisure and overall life satisfaction, the higher their probability of belonging to a high level maintenance group. Conclusion: By applying GMM, this study identified the latent class of the changes in trajectory of the social health level of older adults, and it was found that there were significant differences in leisure satisfaction according to the various types. In addition, the influencing factors that distinguish social health were also analyzed.

Examining the Relationship between Cognitive Flexibility and Leisure Boredom in Students

Cognitive flexibility studies are being handled and studied in a multidisciplinary manner day by day. In this study, cognitive flexibility levels and leisure boredom perceptions of university students who do sports were examined. The "leisure boredom scale" adapted to Turkish by Kara, Gürbüz and Öncü (2014) and the "Cognitive Flexibility Scale" adapted to Turkish by Altunkol (2011) were used as data collection tools. The universe of the study consists of the students of Atatürk University Faculty of Sports Sciences. Sample; it consists of 188 people, 100 men and 88 women, using simple random sampling technique. As a result of the normality tests, it was determined that the data (Skewness -1.5 and Kurtosis +1.1) showed a homogeneous distribution in the value ranges. Our findings show that students who are interested in team activities have more leisure time satisfaction than those who are interested in individual activities (p=.000). The increase in the rate of engaging in leisure time activities indicates that the scores of the students regarding the perception of leisure boredom decline. It is supported by our findings that high cognitive flexibility is also associated with leisure satisfaction (r=,514).

Examining the long-term effect of leisure engagement, leisure satisfaction, and perceived discrimination on stress perception among Koreans with physical disabilities

Leisure is considered an effective means to relieve stress. However, limited research has explored its roles in the stress-coping processes of people with disabilities, especially those living in non-western contexts. This study explores the relationship between leisure time (LT) and leisure repertoire (LR) and perceived stress from disability (PSD) through leisure satisfaction (LS), while using perceived discrimination (PD) as a moderator. Data were collected from the 2016 and 2017 Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled created by a Korean government agency. A total of 1,443 respondents with physical disabilities were selected. The results showed LT and LR have somewhat different associations with LS and PSD. Moreover, PD was only a moderator of the relationship between LT, LS, and PSD. The present study emphasizes the importance of quality of leisure experiences, rather than simply engaging in leisure, and the efficacy of LR as a stress coping skill.

Exploring the Relationships Across Recreation Specialization, Leisure Satisfaction, and Happiness: The Case of Korean Hikers

Prior studies have challenged the notion that recreationists progress along the specialization continuum over time. Using a sample of 443 Korean hikers, this study aimed to determine whether the relationship of specialization to leisure involvement, leisure satisfaction, and happiness is linear or curvilinear. Further, we examined the potential moderating effect of specialization on the relationship between leisure satisfaction and happiness. Results indicated that hikers showed greater specialization as their behavioral involvement increased to a certain point, beyond which specialization decreased. There were also inverted U-shape curvilinear relationships of specialization to levels of leisure satisfaction and happiness. Moreover, there was a significant moderating effect of specialization on the relationship between leisure satisfaction and happiness. Our findings provide deeper insights into the relationship between specialization, leisure satisfaction, and happiness among hikers. Furthermore, managerial implications for public leisure agencies to improve leisure satisfaction and psychological well-being of hikers were discussed.
