An Examination of the Life Satisfaction and Importance of Leisure in the Lives of Older Female Retirees
The purposes of the study were to compare two groups of female retirees (blacks and whites) in terms of their life satisfaction and determinants of life satisfaction. The data base for the study consisted of a stratified, random, national sample of 618 female retirees. Among the findings were: differences existed between the two groups in terms of their life satisfaction; life satisfaction was directly affected by perceived health and leisure rep…
Effects of Watching Aquariums on Elders' Stress
Experimental group members watched a fish aquarium or a fish videotape, while control group members viewed a placebo videotape. Three eight-minute treatment sessions were held one week apart. Members of all three groups perceived their treatments as relaxing. Aquarium observers tended to experience a decrease in pulse rate and muscle tension and an increase in skin temperature. Theoretical and practical implications of the results and ideas for f…
Leisure Satisfaction Precursors
The purposes of this study were to examine whether or not there are significant age group differences in leisure satisfaction, and to test a leisure satisfaction model. Stratified random sampling was used to identify 400 individuals who would receive a questionnaire. Results (based on N = 221) indicated that the 10 age groups examined did not significantly differ in leisure satisfaction. Of the 8 variables speculated to be related to leisure sati…
Health, Aquariums, and the Non-Institutionalized Elderly
The purpose of this study was to examinc the effects of introducing a new hobby-fish aquariums-upon a sample of noninstitutionalized elderly. When compared to two other groups, who did not receive this intervention, the aquarium group underwent significant positive changes in their diastolic blood pressure, overall leisure satisfaction, and relaxation states
Life satisfaction determinants of older males and females
A path analysis model of life satisfaction was proposed and applied to a nationally representative sample of 806 men and 753 women aged 65 years and over. Predictor variables examined were leisure activities, employment status, health problems, income, and transportation barriers. The analysis was conducted separately for the two gender groups. The strongest predictor of life satisfaction was leisure activities. Though the order of influence vari…
A Methodological Review of Research in Journal of Leisure Research From 1978 to 1982
A review was undertaken to examine the methodological adequacy of research articles that applied quantitative techniques and were published in Journal of Leisure Research from 1978 to 1982. The methodological quality of reported research has undergone some change since 1978 — a trend toward improvement was evidenced on about one-half of the criteria used for the review. Nevertheless, severe shortcomings still exist. Reported research would benefi…
The Relative Contribution of Leisure Activities and Other Factors to the Mental Health of Older Women
The purpose of this study was to test a life satisfaction model for older women. The model was derived from policy-relevant variables. The data base for the study consisted of a stratified random
