A psychological perspective on leisure
Synergistic Analysis of Structured Essays
Psychological benefits of leisure participation
In this study, a needs-based taxonomy of leisure activities is proposed. Respondents experienced in a given leisure activity were asked to indicate the extent to which it met different psychological needs, as measured by the Paragraphs About Leisure (PAL) questionnaire. Each of the 3,771 participants completed the PAL on only 1 of the 82 leisure activities for which data were collected. The leisure activities were cluster analyzed with the scores…

The relationship of age, gender, health and economic status to the psychological benefits older persons report from participation in leisure activities
The psychological benefits derived from participation in 18 commonly chosen leisure activities by 1,449 persons in the 55‐to‐75 age range were measured using the Paragraphs About Leisure—Form E (PAL‐E). The data were related to the morale, physical health, economic status, age, and gender of the respondents using canonical analysis. Three canonical variates were obtained which reflected the psychological benefits of companionship, recognition, an…
Stability of Recreation Experience Preference (REP) Ratings for Samples and Individuals Across Three Measurement Periods
This study investigated the stability of REP items measuring the likelihood and importance of possible psychological outcomes of a recreational experience across the time and location of measurement and the instructional set used with the items. Adequate stability was observed for the total sample of respondents but the stability of individuals' responses was marginal
Discriminant Validity of the Paragraphs about Leisure for Expert and Naive Respondents
The Paragraphs About Leisure (PAL) was administered to a sample of stamp collectors ( N = 51) and a sample of undergraduate students naive about stamp collecting ( N = 30). One-way ANO-VAs were performed to compare the group means on the 44 scales of the PAL. The results provide support for the discriminant validity of the PAL
A theory of the attributes, benefits, and causes of leisure experience
This paper reviews previous theoretical statements about the nature of leisure experience, describes a theory of leisure experience, and reviews research evidence bearing on the theory. Researchable postulates are stated regarding the nature of leisure experience and the leisure state, the conditions necessary to experience leisure and the leisure state, and the effects on the individual of experiencing leisure and the leisure state. This theory …
The Psychological Benefits of Leisure Counseling
The research of Tinsley (1978) and his associates on the psychological benefits of leisure is reviewed and related to the growing body of research literature bearing on this issue. Approaches used in investigating the psychological needs relevant to leisure activity participation are identified and the results of these research efforts are summarized. It is concluded that. 1) investigations of the psychological benefits of leisure activities prov…
Limitations, Explorations, Aspirations
Shortcomings occurring frequently in manuscripts submitted to the Journal are reviewed, research issues confronting the leisure research community are highlighted and techniques for improving leisu
A Preliminary Taxonomy of Leisure Activities
Descriptions of the psychological benefits of participation in 34 leisure activities were obtained from 1375 respondents who described themselves as knowledgeable participants of at least a year's standing. Cluster analysis revealed nine relatively homogeneous groups of leisure activities. The psychological benefits provided by participation in the activities assigned to each cluster are identified and possible applications of this classification…
Discriminant Analysis
Discriminant function analysis is a technique which allows the researcher to examine and describe simultaneously the differences between two or more mutually exclusive groups with respect to several continuous variables. Although numerous studies are reported in the literature in which discriminant analysis would have been appropriate, the technique is seldom used in leisure and recreation research. This paper reviews the nature, scope and use of…
Application of Multivariate Analysis Procedures in Leisure Research
A Holistic Model of Leisure Counseling
The purpose of this article is to outline a model for leisure counseling. First, recent psychological and sociological developments are interpreted in the context of Maslow's theory of motivation to document the need for leisure counseling. Next, a paradigm for leisure counseling is suggested which, 1) argues for a holistic conceptualization of leisure; 2) outlines the leisure counseling process; 3) identifies the immediate and ultimate goals of …
Reliability and Concurrent Validity of the Recreation Experience Preference Scales
Two procedures for scoring the Recreation Experience Preference scales were investigated from using data obtained from respondents engaged in outdoor recreational activities in Pennsylvania (N = 463) and Michigan (N = 1531). Both scoring procedures were judged to yield acceptable levels of reliability and concurrent validity. In field situations where there is less time to question respondents, the briefer domain scoring strategy is preferred. Wh…
An Analysis of Leisure Counseling Models
The Construct Validity of the Leisure Activities Questionnaire and of the Paragraphs About Leisure
The Leisure Activities Questionnaire (LAQ) and the Paragraphs About Leisure (PAL) were administered to independent samples of undergraduate college students. A multitrait-multimethod matrix was computed to compare the descriptions of ten traits (leisure activities) obtained by using two methods (LAQ and PAL). The multitrait-multimethod matrix was analyzed by employing an ANOVA procedure and a multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis. The two p…
Discriminant Validity of the Leisure Activity Questionnaire and the Paragraphs About Leisure
The Leisure Activity Questionnaire (LAQ) was administered to a developmental sample of 418 undergraduate college students and to a cross-validation sample of 209 students. The Paragraphs About Leisure (PAL) questionnaire, an alternative form of the LAQ, was administered to a second cross-validation sample of 215 students. Subsequent to the completion of a discriminant function analysis, the hit rates obtained in the two cross-validation samples w…
An Investigation of the Construct Validity of Measures of Job, Leisure, Dyadic and General Life Satisfaction
Multiple item scales and single global satisfaction items in Likert format were administered to 115 blue collar workers to assess their satisfaction with their job, leisure, most intimate relations
Birth Order Effects among Black College Students
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between birth order, vocational choice, choice of college, and selected personality characteristics among Black college students. The 16 Personality Factors Question naire, the Assessment of Career Decision Making, and a research questionnaire were administered to a sample of 231 students enrolled in freshman orientation classes at Grambling State University, Grambling, Louisiana. Analysis…
Factor Analysis
The use and interpretation of factor analysis is discussed and an example from leisure research is presented. Topics include a conceptual understanding of factor analysis, appropriate data for factor analysis, communality estimates, methods of factor extraction (principal components, principal axis, MINRES, multiple groups and maximum likelihood), the number of factors to extract, factor rotation, factor interpretation, factor scores, and summary…
The Latent Structure of the Need Satisfying Properties of Leisure Activities
The need-satisfying characteristics of 10 popular leisure activities were examined by two independent factor analyses. The total domain of 45 need satisfiers was subjected to Rao's canonical factor analysis resulting in 10 replicable common factors. Subsequently, the total domain of need satisfiers was reduced to a subset of 27 "leisure activity specific" need satisfiers (i.e., needs characterized by differential satisfaction dependent on the spe…
Leisure Activities and Need Satisfaction
The need-satisfying characteristics of 10 commonly selected leisure activities were investigated. Scores on 33 of the 45 need-satisfiers studied were significantly related to the activity in which the respondent participated. Sex of the respondent, however, was not significantly related to scores on any of the 45 need-satisfier dimensions. The need-satisfier dimensions showing the greatest discrimination among the activities were Catharsis, Indep…
Some Parting Thoughts
Leisure Activities and Need Satisfaction
The need-satisfying characteristics of five commonly selected leisure activities (watching television; attending plays, concerts, and lectures; reading books and magazines; bicycling; and drinking and socializing) were investigated. Forty-two of the forty- five need-satisfiers studied significantly differentiated among the five activities. The need-satisfier dimensions showing the greatest discrimination among the activities were sex, catharsis, …
