Stress, anxiety, leisure changes, and well-being during the Covid-19 pandemic
This study explored how changes in stress, anxiety about COVID-19, and leisure participation affected individuals' well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study included two waves of data collection from 454 participants aged 30–49 years in South Korea; data collection occurred during the two peaks of the pandemic in 2020. A series of analyses was used to examine the associations in leisure patterns, demographic characteristics, stress, anxi…

Socio-demographic and behavioural factors associated with status change of sleep quality and duration among Chinese older adults
China has faced challenges related to the rapid growth of its ageing population, and sleep is one of the public health challenges to this demographic group. This study examines the socio-demographic and behavioural factors associated with status change of sleeping patterns among Chinese older adults, using longitudinal data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). Socio-demographic factors were selected from the 2012 wave o…
Effects of Urban Park Quality, Environmental Perception, and Leisure Activity on Well-Being among the Older Population
Previous studies have shown that natural environments and leisure activities can reduce depression and increase well-being. Urban parks are important for the psychological well-being of middle-aged and older adults. However, it remains unknown whether the relationship between environmental perceptions, leisure activity, and well-being is affected by the quality of park environments. This study uses a cross-level framework to examine the effects o…
Examining “untact” tourism behaviour in South Korea during the Covid-19 pandemic
This study highlights the alternative travel behaviour called “untact” tourism during the Coronavirus disease-19 pandemic in South Korea. Based on the two-wave longitudinal data collection in March and September 2020, this study aims to (a) examine individuals’ domestic travel experiences and patterns among Korean people, (b) develop a measurement scale for untact tourism from an emic perspective, and (c) demonstrate the major antecedents of unta…
Effects of the built and social features of urban greenways on the outdoor activity of older adults
The effect of coronavirus disease-19 (Covid-19) risk perception on behavioural intention towards ‘untact’ tourism in South Korea during the first wave of the pandemic (March 2020)
This study highlights ‘untact’ tourism as a health-protective behaviour stemming from individuals’ perceptions of COVID-19 risk. Based on the frameworks of the Health Belief Model and the extended Theory of Planned Behaviour, this study examines the effect of COVID-19 risk perception on behavioural intention towards untact tourism. The online survey was administered to South Korean citizens in March and April 2020. A total of 877 questionnaires w…
Positive Emotional Effects of Leisure in Green Spaces in Alleviating Work–Family Spillover in Working Mothers
Studies have shown that family and work spillover affects well-being and that leisure activities can alleviate the negative effects of work-related stress on health. However, few studies have focused on investigating the effects of specific leisure activities among specific populations. To examine whether leisure activities in green spaces can promote individual recovery processes and alleviate the effects of work and family spillover on positive…
The Longitudinal Association Between Playfulness and Resilience in Older Women Engaged in The Red Hat Society
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between playfulness and resilience in women over the age of 50 who were participating in The Red Hat Society (RHS), a leisure group for older women. The Broaden-and-Build Theory (Fredrickson, 2001), which describes the benefits of positive emotions, was used as a rationale to test the proposition that playfulness through leisure activities, such as those enjoyed in the RHS, can contrib…
Leisure-Time Physical Activity Moderates the Longitudinal Associations between Work-Family Spillover and Physical Health
Previous research has documented cross-sectional associations between negative and positive work-family spillover and physical health. Using an effort-recovery model, the study tested the hypothesis that engagement in greater leisure-time physical activity would facilitate recovery processes that buffer the negative health effects of increasing work-family spillover. Employed adults ( N = 1,354) completed two waves of the National Survey of Midli…
Social relationships, leisure activity, and health in older adults.
OBJECTIVE: Although the link between enhanced social relationships and better health has generally been well established, few studies have examined the role of leisure activity in this link. This study examined how leisure influences the link between social relationships and health in older age. METHOD: Using data from the 2006 and 2010 waves of the nationally representative U.S. Health and Retirement Study and structural equation modeling analys…
Using playfulness to cope with psychological stress
Playfulness increases positive emotions (PEs) and enhances psychological well-being. However, no studies have examined whether playfulness serves as a stress–coping resource, nor assessed both positive and negative emotions (NEs) as coping outcomes. The current study used the Process Model of Stress and Coping to examine whether playfulness helps university students cope with psychological stress. Both PE and NE were examined as immediate coping …
