Differences in Self-Perception and School Adjustment According to Time-Use Profiles of Adolescents with Chronic Diseases

Objective This study aims to classify groups according to the time-use profiles of adolescents with chronic diseases and identify differences in self-perception and school adjustment by group. Methods The study made used data from the fifth wave of Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey. Among 2,351 adolescents, 958 (40.7%) with chronic diseases were analyzed using LPA and MANCOVA. Results As a result of LPA, four groups were classified according to time-use profiles of adolescents with chronic diseases: media using leisure type (13.5%), private education dependent learning type (63.2%), self-study learning type (7.7%), and balanced leisure type (13.5%). MANCOVA results showed significant differences in the level of self-perception and school adjustment according to time-use profiles, even after controlling for demographic variables that may have an effect. Adolescents in the self-study learning type, specifically, tended to set a clear goal of life based on their self-identity and were well adapted to school life. Conclusion Findings suggest that profiles of time-use may affect self-perception and school adjustment in adolescents with chronic diseases. These results indicate that it is important for chronically ill adolescents to have more meaningful experiences in daily life to develop resiliency. Therefore, various opportunities and supportive environments should be provided to adolescents with chronic diseases to spend their time in a healthier way, evaluating themselves positively and perceiving meaning in life. Keywords: adolescents with chronic disease, time use, latent profile analysis, self-perception, school adjustment

An exploratory study on profiles of recovery experiences among Korean employees

The present study aimed to replicate Bennett et al. (2016)’s study that investigated the profiles of recovery experiences among U.S. employees. A sample of 472 Korean employees was surveyed on their four recovery experiences(psychological detachment, relaxation, mastery and control; Sonnentag & Fritz, 2007) and problem-solving pondering during typical leisure time. By adopting person-centered approach using the latent profile analysis, we identified three profiles of recovery experiences: Recovery, Intermediate, and Fatigue Profiles. There were significant differences among these three profiles in demographics(age, marriage status, and the number of children) and job conditions(job demands, job resources), and well-being outcomes(work engagement, emotional exhaustion, sleep quality). By comparing the results with those of Bennett et al. (2016), we discussed the implications and limitations of this study, and suggested directions for the future studies.

Agritainment: A Chinese Style of Leisure and Aesthetic Space

This article analyzes the unique case of Chinese agritainment (農家樂, Nongjiale) and explains agritainment as a special place with strong Chinese features and as a Chinese consumptive and aesthetic culture that has developed so rapidly that people have yet to pay attention to its rapid expansion. It emerged at a time when the global time-space compression and reconstruction are the current trend. Its motivation originates from Chinese farmer spontaneity, and it is the outcome of Chinese consumptive culture that began with the reform and the opening up of China. Agritainment has formed a special public consumptive space. This is also a typical leisure and aesthetic space. It constructs a special place and has an important role in the contemporary social life of China, in which people are able to relax, enjoy recreation, and communicate with one another. Moreover, it is a significant space where people contemplate the meaning of, and find happiness in, their daily life. Agritainment gave rise to the popularity of Chinese consumptive culture and has already formed a kind of Chinese “leisure and aesthetic ideology.”

항공사 직원들의 감정노동 유형별 소진에 대한 실증적 연구

In this study, we investigated the effects of the emotional labor of airline company employees upon burnout. After a review of prior studies, we defined the burnout concept and found two sub dimensions of burnout, which are emotional/physical exhaustion and depersonalization. We also developed an exploratory trial of emotional labor type built upon a few key prior studies and examined whether these types moderated the effect of emotional labor. The investigation of the relation between emotional labor components and burnout revealed that surface acting had a statistically significant positive effect on both sub dimensions of burnout. Deep acting however had a statistically significant negative effect on depersonalization and showed very big standardized beta coefficient compared to surface acting, but not on emotional/physical exhaustion. While testing for parallelism, we found a moderating effect of emotional labor type on emotional/physical exhaustion, but in terms of depersonalization, the moderating effect of emotional labor type was found only in surface acting. Interestingly, the averages of emotional/physical exhaustion and depersonalization in the positive emotional labor group were lower than those in the neutral emotional labor group. We also investigated the leisure type of respondents and the demographic variables related to emotional labor components, job satisfaction and burnout in order to suggest several fruitful implications.

A study on Subcarpathian Voivodeship inhabitants’ preferences concerning leisure time in forests

Background. This paper presents the results of a questionnaire survey on Subcarpathian Voivodeship inhabitants’ preferences concerning leisure time in forests. Material and methods. The respondents answered questions concerning the distribution of their visits to the forest, the most often visited parts of forests, preferable leisure types as well as factors adversely affecting their visits to forests. Results. The results show that Subcarpathian Voivodeship inhabitants most often go to forests at weekends (43% of the respondents) and they prefer tree stands located deep inside forest complexes (36% of the respondents). Their favourite leisure activities are mushroom picking and walking – 58% and 54% of the respondents, respectively. The most annoying factors during visits to forests are the presence of mosquitoes and ticks (66% of the respondents) and garbage (62%). Conclusions. Recreation-oriented forest management should be based on the preferences of the inhabitants of a given region. This will help forest managers improve the protection of the forest environment and control the leisure traffic.

Activity involvement and time spent on computers for leisure: an econometric analysis on the American Time Use Survey dataset

Internet is capturing more and more of our time each day, and the increasing levels of engagement are mainly due to the use of social media. Time spent on social media is observed in the American Time Use Survey and recorded as leisure time on Personal Computer (PC). In this paper, we extend the traditional analysis of leisure activity participation by including leisure activities that require the use of a PC. We study the substitution effects with both in-home and out-of-home leisure activities and the time budget allocated to each of them. The modeling framework that includes both discrete alternatives and continuous decision variables allow for full correlation across the utility of the alternatives that are all of leisure type and the regressions that model the time allocated to each activity. Results show that there is little substitution effect between leisure with PC and the relative time spent on it, with in-home and out-of-home leisure episodes. Households with more children and full-time workers are more likely to engage in in-home and PC related leisure activities (especially during weekends). Increments in the travel time of social trips result in significant reductions in leisure time during weekdays.

Types Of Leisure, Leisure Motivation, And Well-being In University Students With An Empahisis On Physical Activity

It is well-documented that leisure is conducive to psychological well-being for a variety of population. However, a scarcity of research on types of leisure influenced by individual attributes and health status as well as contributing factors for leisure satisfaction. PURPOSE: The research aims to investigate the types of leisure influenced by individual attributes and health status as well as the contributing factors for leisure satisfaction. METHODS: Cross sectional data were collected by administering Leisure Satisfaction Scale (LSS), Leisure Motivation Scale (LMS), Types of Leisure Scale, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Health Risk Survey, and Demographic Survey including Body Mass Index (BMI) to 199 university students. RESULTS: Leisure satisfaction was inversely correlated with perceived stress (r = -.21, p < .01) and amotivation (r = -.23, p = .01). Perceived stress was positively associated with amotivation (r = .23, p < .05). Stepwise multiple regression shows that intrinsic leisure motivation was a single strong predictor for leisure satisfaction even after controlling for elementary school leisure, high school leisure, extrinsic leisure motivation, and perceived stress [b = .83, β = .71, t = 4.72, p < .01]. Interaction analyses in multiple regression demonstrate that there was a significant interaction between BMI and social support, which indicates that the impact of BMI on active leisure differs depending on levels of social support (Δ R2 = .048, F [1, 138] = 7.02, p = .009). There was a significant interaction between BMI and perceived stress, indicating the impact of BMI on passive leisure differs depending on perceived stress (Δ R2 = .034, F [1,148] = 5.23, p < .05). CONCLUSION: Intrinsic leisure motivation appears to influence leisure satisfaction, which may lead to lowered levels of stress. Conversely, leisure apathy (amotivation) may lead to elevated levels of perceived stress. University students with high BMI do not tend to engage in physically active leisure in the presence of high perceived social support. Also, university students with high BMI were more likely to engage in passive leisure in the presence of low stress levels. These findings could shed light on the motivational strategies health care providers can use to support health-promoting leisure activities such as physical activity.

Stair walking is more energizing than low dose caffeine in sleep deprived young women

IntroductionThe acute energizing effect of exercise and caffeine has never been examined in a single study of adults with chronic sleep deprivation but evidence from a study of this type could help individuals choose between these two common alertness-enhancing options. AimThe apriori primary aim of this experiment was to compare the influence of 10-min of low-to-moderate intensity stair walking to the consumption of capsules containing 50mg caffeine or flour (placebo) on feelings of energy in physically active, college female caffeine users with chronic insufficient sleep. Effects on secondary outcomes related to feelings of energy also were assessed. Material-methodA repeated measures crossover experiment was conducted with 18 college women (18–23years) who reported (i) daily caffeine consumption that was not extreme (40–400mg), (ii) typical leisure time physical activity that was not extreme (at least 2 weekly mild 15-min or longer bouts and no >5 strenuous 15-min or longer bouts), and (iii) sleeping <45h per week. Mood states (POMS-BF), focused on energy feelings (vigor), as well as working memory (N-back), sustained attention (CPT), simple reaction time (SRT), and motivation to complete the cognitive tasks were measured before and after a 10-min exercise condition (20min seated rest followed by 10min of low-to-moderate intensity stair walking) and compared to both a caffeine condition (50mg caffeine capsule followed by 30min of seated rest) and a similar flour (placebo) capsule condition. Condition (exercise, caffeine, placebo)×Time (Baseline, Post-1, Post-2, and for mood Post-3) ANCOVAs (controlling for Condition order) tested the hypothesized effects. ResultsCondition×Time interactions showed that stair walking increased POMS-BF vigor at Post-1 compared to both placebo and caffeine. Other interactions were not significant. ConclusionA brief bout of low-to-moderate intensity stair walking has transient energizing effects that exceed a low dose of caffeine for active young women with chronic insufficient sleep.

Typology of Leisure Behavior

In the era of the “civilization of leisure”, the leisure time is increasingly perceived not as a necessary “complement” to the people’s production and social life, but as an autonomous social institution, which has an independent meaning and value. Meanwhile, the leisure activities often characterize the human’s personality much more accurate than their professional activities. However, under the infl uence of civilization trends, the essence of the leisure activities is changing: the types of leisure are getting mixed and fi lled with new content. The semantic ambiguity of the leisure activities makes their content diffi cult to be analyzed and requires changes in the research approaches and tools. The article shows that the understanding of the changing essence of the cultural and leisure activities and stra tegies is possible, using modern econometric methods, through the study of large amounts of sociological data. Analyzing the results of sociological surveys for a number of years, the author reveals some statistical regularities in the forms of leisure people prefer and discovers the integral factors that could explain those regularities. As a result, the article proposes an original typology of the leisure behavior, which refl ects the inner connection between the various kinds of leisure and identi-fi es the most common strategies of the leisure activities. The study shows that people’s attitude to their leisure activities, in particular to the art, is not random. The study is based on the unique data arrays on the sociological surveys of Russia’s urban population.

Findings: First, this study has meaning in that it examines the existing thesis for leisure changed the part of objects in the generalized models and got progressed, and it surveyed comprehensively. Second, leisure limitation affects the leisure motive and leisure immersion negatively, and structural limitation, intrinsic limitation, and interpersonal limitation is the hindering factor of immersion to participants who joins the leisure activity, and this is considered as to be improved. Third, it affects immersion in motive of attending leisure activity. Fourth, the immersion leisure affects the leisure identity, and this leisure identity has interacted as factor of increasing the quality of life. Fifth, the leisure immersion did not affect the quality of life directly. Application/Improvements: Due to the model limitations that the results of a study can be different according to the types of leisure, future studies need to be focused on improving such issues.

Writing about leisure

ABSTRACTWriting is different than talking. The author needs a narrative. There has to be a start-point – a problem or question – then a body of evidence or argument, which leads to a conclusion. In other words, the writer needs a good story, and it now seems that throughout the history of leisure studies we have been searching for really good stories. There have been five main types of leisure narrative. There are “full frontal” stories about leisure; then stories about different types of leisure. The third type of story is about the leisure of a specific group – a gender, age or ethnic group or a social class, for example. The fourth story is about the different types of providers of leisure goods and services. Fifth and finally, there are stories about leisure as seen through the prisms of different social theories. We can debate, and there is no need to agree on, which kind of story is best. However, we may conclude, and the story in this paper is that we can conclude, that some stories have better endings than others.
