The meaning of long-distance cycling among middle-aged women in South Korea
Leisure is important to facilitate midlife transitions, and yet research on leisure among middle-aged women in South Korea is limited. Studies on cycling among middle-aged Korean women are even more limited. Within the context of the Busan Women’s Cycling Association, this study explored the function and meaning of cycling in the lives of Korean women. Fifteen women from ages 47 to 77 participated in individual interviews. Findings indicated that…
Understanding factors that shape leisure-based eustress experiences among older adults with chronic health conditions
Roles of Culture on Casino Gambling among Laotian Immigrants in the U.S
The popularity of gambling among the Asian American population, including Southeast Asian immigrants, is well documented. Compared to other forms of gambling, Asians appear to primarily prefer casino gambling. Research suggests cultural factors might contribute to Asians’ casino gambling behavior. The leisure field, however, has yet to investigate Asians’ casino gambling from a cultural perspective. The purpose of this study was to examine the ro…
We do revolve our lives around it” – The meaning and significance of being a collegiate women’s basketball fan among older women
When individuals engage in social contexts such as attending a college basketball game, opportunities to enrich and broaden social connections with others often transpire. The University of Notre Dame Women’s Basketball (NDWB) program has a comparably larger and more loyal fan base than most universities in the country, of which older women comprise a big portion of season ticket holders. The purpose of this study was to investigate the motivatio…
Exploring the role and meaning of leisure in healthy aging among older adults with chronic conditions
There is currently no consensus on the definition of healthy aging and healthy aging can mean different things in different contexts. Therefore, this study explored the meaning of healthy aging and leisure to generate insights about the role of leisure in the process of healthy aging among older adults with chronic conditions. Taking a qualitative approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with 11 older adults from three locations in a medium-s…
Leisure education in chronic disease self-management
The number of individuals experiencing chronic conditions is on the rise, increasing the need for effective self-management strategies to promote their health and quality of life. This paper identifies how leisure education may complement and enhance skills considered necessary for appropriate self-management. To address this topic, detailed information about how leisure education was integrated into the existing Chronic Disease Self-Management P…
The Roles of Leisure Attitudes and Self-Efficacy on Attitudes Toward Retirement Among Retirees
Coping well with retirement could depend on sense of coherence (SOC), how confident an individual is to predict and manage the situation/environment using personal psychological resources. While diverse resources determine SOC, leisure resources could be essential for retirees due to extended free time. This study explored the roles of leisure attitudes (LA) and leisure self-efficacy (LSE) on attitudes toward retirement (ATR) using SOC theory. A …
What Can Faith-Based Forms of Violent Conflict Prevention Teach Us About Liberal Peace
Faith-based actors are often recognised as contributors to both conflict and peace. However, their work to prevent violent conflict, rather than bring an end to or recover from it, is largely unexplored. This is despite the growth of conflict prevention as a global social norm and field of practice. Based on collaborative research with faith groups and organisations in Nigeria, the Solomon Islands and Zanzibar (Tanzania), this paper examines fait…
Child Rights Impact Assessment as a policy improvement tool
Child Rights Impact Assessment (CRIA) is used to assess systematically the impact on children of laws, policies or budgetary allocations as measured against the Articles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and domestic human rights/child wellbeing frameworks. Internationally, a small number of governments at central, regional and local level have introduced or attempted CRIA. However, where available, documentary analysis of the…

Ethnic minorities and sustainable refugee return and reintegration in Kosovo
Unprecedented levels of displacement make the return of refugees and internally displaced populations a critical challenge, with post-conflict minority return especially complex. This article investigates the return process in Kosovo to identify what supports and hinders sustainability. For nearly two decades the Government of Kosovo and international partners have supported the return of minorities displaced during the 1998–1999 conflict and Mar…

An Exploration of Older Men's Social Lives and Well-Being in the Context of a Coffee Group
The goal of this study was to better understand older men's experiences with social leisure in the form of a coffee group. Data collection included participant observation at two different coffee groups and semi-structured interviews with 14 older men who attended the groups. Data were analyzed thematically using open and axial coding (Merriam, 2009 Merriam, S. (2009). Qualitative research: A guide to design and implementation. San Francisco, CA:…
Visualization in analysis
This article presents a novel diagramming approach which employs aspects of Actor-Network Theory (ANT) in the creation of ANT Analysis Diagrams (AADs). ANT is a socio-material approach which allows for the consideration of both human and inanimate entities in a social context. AADs provide a novel method for the analytical investigation of social situations, thereby both operationalizing elements of ANT and generating a visualization of a domain.…
Experiencing flow in different types of serious leisure in later life
As people are living longer, there is an emphasis on adding life to years instead of years to life. Flow is regarded as an optimal experience, which contributes to the quality of life. Such flow experiences are likely to occur in serious leisure settings. Thus, this study explored the relationship between serious leisure types and a flow experience (frequency and quality) among older adults. Respondents were recruited from six different community…
Living With Arthritis
In this article, we explore how adults with arthritis use self-care strategies in their valued leisure activities, and variations in use based on their access to environmental resources. We conducted six focus groups ( N = 34) with adults aged 55 and older with a diagnosis of arthritis. Adults living in residential communities were recruited, with 31% of the sample residing in subsidized housing. Focus group transcripts were analyzed using conten…
The Role of Life Experiences on Perceptions of Leisure During Adulthood
This study examined the life experiences of adults and their effect on perceptions of leisure. Data for this study came from A Study of Leisure during Adulthood (ASOLDA), a 10-year study of the values, attitudes, and perceived freedom in leisure of 84 adults. Individual growth curve modeling was used to explore patterns and change within leisure domains for the sample. Life structure predicted adults’ perceived freedom in leisure while life event…

A ‘Children's Government’ in England and Child Impact Assessment
Despite structural changes made to central government and the development of the Every Child Matters programme in England, compartmentalised child policy proposals are often created for service settings and in response to a specific political imperative. This article provides a rationale for child impact assessment — a systematic process in which proposals for policy and legislation are reviewed and assessed for their potential impact on children…
The Role of Social Support and Self-Efficacy in Shaping the Leisure Time Physical Activity of Older Adults
Lack of social support and low self-efficacy are important barriers to regular exercise and physical activity. However, it is unclear whether these resources contribute significantly to CDC recommended physical activity levels and which of these factors (and their associated sub-domains) are more robust in relating to leisure time physical activity (LTPA) among older adults. This study examines the role of social support and self-efficacy in shap…
The Role of Leisure Style in Maintaining the Health of Older Adults with Arthritis
This study explores the role of leisure style in relation to the perceived physical and mental health of older adults with self-reported arthritis. A model of successful aging was used as a conceptual framework to examine the relationship between the type of leisure styles and physical and mental health. Altogether, 464 adults over the age of 50 completed a questionnaire that assessed perceived physical and mental health, health history, pain sev…

Change and Stability in Park Visitation Constraints Revisited
Despite considerable advances in our understanding of constraint composition, antecedent conditions, outcomes, and negotiation behaviors, few studies have tracked how constraints have changed or remained stable over time. This investigation sought to examine the change and stability in park visitation constraints and preferred constraint negotiation strategies across a 10-year period. A 2001 telephone survey of residents from Northeast Ohio was c…

Why are You Bored?”
The purpose of this study was to better understand the causes of boredom using psychologically based and social control models of boredom. For this study, 82 8th grade students completed two questionnaires, a face to face interview, and participated in a four day activity diary over a two week period of time. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) was used to assess the extern to which adolescents' level of boredom differed depending upon their reaso…
An Examination of Park Preferences and Behaviors Among Urban Residents
We examined the relationship between age, race and residential location with respect to four issues salient to public park agencies, (a) citizens' perceived need for additional park land; (b) preferences for the desired function of that park land (e.g., conservation vs. recreation); (c) preferences for the style of recreation (e.g., developed vs. naturebased recreation); and, (d) level of existing visitation to local parks. Data for this study wa…
The Interaction of Stress and Park Use on Psycho-physiological Health in Older Adults
Stress can have a negative influence on psychological and physical health, particularly among older adults. However, park-based leisure experiences, can have a positive influence upon mood states, stress, and health of this population. This study examined the relationship between stress, park-based leisure, and physiological/psychological health among older adults (ages 50–86). There were significant interactive effects between: 1) stress and len…
