Enhancing the Accessibility and Visibility of Leisure Research
The articles by Jordan and Roland and by Samdahl and Kelly encourage us, as leisure researchers, to step back and examine relevance of our research and role of journals and periodicals in disseminating this research. The main conclusion arising from Jordan and Roland paper is that very few practitioners and academic researchers read research journals. This certainly appears to be true for practitioners, but majority of academic researchers did re…
Cross-Cultural Differences in the Reporting of Global Functional Capacity
OBJECTIVES: Patient-based health status measures have an important role to play in the assessment of health care outcomes. Among these measures, global assessments increasingly have been used, although the understanding of the performance of these indicators and the determinants of patients responses is underdeveloped. In this study, the performance of a single-item global indicator of visual function in cataract patients of four international se…
Patients' acceptance of waiting for cataract surgery
The patient's perspective about waiting for elective surgery is an important consideration in the management of waiting lists, yet it has received little attention to date. This study was undertaken to assess the acceptability of personal waiting times from the perspective of patients, and to examine waiting time and patient characteristics associated with the perception that a wait for cataract surgery is too long. The international prospective …
Starting, Ceasing, and Replacing Leisure Activities Over the Life-Span
Aggregate (sample-wide) and intrapersonal patterns of leisure behavior (starting, ceasing and replacing leisure activities) are examined as a function of successive developmental periods of the life-span. In an Alberta survey, completed questionnaires were received from 3,927 households. The results showed that the number of people “starting” new activities declined from the first adult life stage to the third before leveling off in the fourth an…
Is constrained leisure an internally homogeneous concept
The internal homogeneity or differentiation of the concept of constrained leisure is investigated by assessing similarities and differences in patterns of the importance of 12 constraints items in relation to two distinct indicators of this general concept (ceasing participation in a former activity, and desire to participate in a new activity) rather than the single measure typical of previous research. By using data from two similar public recr…
Integrating Ceasing Participation With Other Aspects of Leisure Behavior
The paper focuses on one aspect of non-participation, namely ceasing participation in leisure activities. In the first part of the paper, the phenomenon is examined from a conceptual perspective. A model is proposed that demonstrates how ceasing participation and other aspects of non-participation are interconnected and how they relate to the broader concepts of leisure demand. Then, in the second part of the paper, the conceptual discussion is a…
