Investigating the suitability and readiness of COPD patients to engage with novel and non-pharmacological approaches to improve patient outcomes
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) has a progressive pathology that affects well-being quality of life. This study aimed to profile well-being in COPD patients across disease classifications. A cross-sectional survey ( N = 179, n = 111 female) was conducted using online self-report measures including the COPD Assessment Test, Medical Research Council Dyspnoea Scale, Fatigue Assessment Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), health…
Exploring the role of compassion, self-criticism and the dark triad on obesity and emotion regulation
Emotion regulation and/or obesity have been linked to compassion, self-criticism and ‘dark’ personality traits but the relationship between these factors is unclear as most research has focused on the big five personality traits. Here, we investigated the influence of dark personality traits on emotional dysregulation, compassion and BMI. 300 participants completed measures of emotion dysregulation, compassion, self-criticism and dark tetrad pers…
Toy, Vehicle, or Equipment
In this article we consider the ways that parents and children construct an object that has long been associated with North American childhood: the bicycle. We ask the question: is the bicycle a toy or a tool? At first glance, this seems like a straightforward distinction. For example, if an object serves a useful purpose, we classify it a tool. Hammers are tools because they help drive nails into wood. If the object serves no apparent purpose ot…
Development of a Set of Image Stimuli for Attentional Bias Research in Adults with Food Neophobia
Securing hipster leisure
In this research note, we situate the policy response of park circles enacted by the City of Toronto at Trinity Bellwoods Park in the context of urban gentrification. Rather than a public health measure, we argue that the enactment of park circles as a response to park crowding during the COVID-19 pandemic is reflective of broader processes of gentrification and operates to secure the park as a space for ‘hipster leisure.’ In so doing, park circl…
Neighborhood stigma and the sporting lives of young people in public housing
This paper spotlights the sporting lives of young people who live in 'Redcrest', a public housing community in the Niagara region of Canada. We report on data culled from neighborhood-centric documents (municipal data, planning council reports, media coverage) and ethnographic fieldwork (interviews, community mapping, go-alongs) collected over eight months with 14 young people. This paper also offers a critique of Robert Sampson's work on neighbo…
Against Limits
In its recognition of oppositional behavior as informed and political, resistance offers us a way to explore the interconnections between leisure and politics in meaningful ways. However, for the concept to have utility for theorizing theses interconnections, it needs to be located within broader theorizations of power. Drawing on the work of Foucault, this chapter offers a post-structural theorizing of power and resistance. In contrast to modern…
Introduction to the Palgrave Handbook of Leisure Theory
In this introduction to the Palgrave Handbook of Leisure Theory , the editors make the case for the book’s structure and format, and its focus on leisure theory. They discuss the history and development of leisure studies, and its relationship to sociology, cultural studies and other related disciplines and subject fields. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as …

Sustaining environmental pedagogy in times of educational conservatism
Although the global call for environmental education is persistent, on a local or regional level, this call can be confronted by educational policies that drive environmental education out of the curriculum. This paper reports on a qualitative case study of the factors contributing to the sustainability of three teacher‐driven integrated curriculum programs (ICPs). Four key factors were identified: financial self‐sufficiency and physical isolatio…
