Work, Leisure and Well-Being
Both work and leisure are essential for well-being. Yet the ways in which we conceptualise work, leisure and well-being are in flux, reflecting, in part, the changing societal, economic and community contexts in which work and leisure take place. This paper first discusses the contested nature of work and leisure in relation to well-being, and then considers current evidence concerning the ways in which work and leisure are experienced in contemp…

Flow' experience in the daily lives of sixth-form college students
The Experience Sampling Method was employed to collect data from a sample of 35 sixth-form college students over a period of one week. This methodology involved the subjects answering questions printed in a diary on receipt of signals from a pre-programmed watch. They also completed a package of questionnaires related to psychological well-being. The aim of the study was to investigate whether the experience of situations where high challenge is …
Skill-Challenge Relationships and Psychological Well-being in Everyday Life
This paper reviews a number of studies conducted by the author and colleagues into the importance of “flow” and other skill-challenge relationships for positive subjective states and psychological well-being. Flow was operationalised as perceived high skills equal to perceived high challenges, and was measured by the Experience Sampling Method (ESM). Individuals carried watches for one week which were pre-programmed to “bleep” eight times a day. …
Variations in personal activity, access to ‘categories of experience’, and psychological well-being in young adults
Variations in personal activity, access to 'categories of experience', and psychological well-being were studied in 36 unemployed young adults and comparisons made with a matched employed sample. The unemployed sample were found to have worse psychological well-being and to have access to a significantly fewer number of Jahoda's five 'categories of experience' in comparison with the employed sample. Significant variations in activity, access to c…
The Perceived Nature of Meaningful Pursuits and the Social Psychology of Commitment
This article discusses the need for the study by leisure researchers and others of the perceived nature of meaningful pursuits and the social psychology of commitment. In introducing reasons for this, key research literature is highlighted. Several aspects are then examined in further detail and current research directed by the author is outlined
Satisfaction statements and the study of angling in the United Kingdom
Using a slightly modified version of a list of satisfaction statements developed by Hawes (1978), and a piloted interview guide, a study was undertaken of a quota sample (N = 304) of coarse, sea, and game anglers in the United Kingdom (U.K.). Results indicated that there is a common range of satisfactions sought from the three types of angling. These included active factors such as adventure and excitement, uncertainty and chance to develop a ski…
Leisure and the Individual
The right of individuals and groups to participate in the choice of their leisure activities is generally acknowledged, even though certain organizational problems can result. Research on individual or collective participation in the creation of experiences and specific orientations is absolutely essential. On this level of reality, that of aspirations, desires and availability, it would be useless to attempt to find ready-made formulas to answer…
Conditioned Emotional Response Phenomena and Brain Stimulation
Electrodes were implanted into the septal region in one group of rats and into the lateral hypothalamic region in another group. After stabilizing for lever‐pressing rates on a variable interval (VI) schedule for brain stimulation, each group was split into two. One group of septal and one group of hypothalamic animals were given the conditioning procedure for a CER whilst they could not obtain brain stimulation, and the other groups were given t…
