Gender-Based Analyses of Coping with Stress among Professional Managers
Despite the growth of leisure and stress-coping research, gender-based analyses of leisure stress-coping have been performed rarely. The purpose of the present study was to examine how female and male managers cope with stress, using data collected from a series of focus groups. The focus group questions were designed to elicit information about the range of methods these individuals used to cope with stress and the contribution of leisure (gener…
Coping with stress among Aboriginal women and men with diabetes in Winnipeg, Canada
Coping with stress among gays and lesbians
Gays and lesbians are at risk of being exposed to high levels of stress because of their marginalized social identities and social locations in dominant cultures. Given the prevalence and significance of stress in the lives of gays and lesbians regardless of their age, stress-coping is one of the key axes of their development over the lifespan. The purpose of the present study was to examine the ways in which gays and lesbians cope with stress in…
An examination of stress among Aboriginal women and men with diabetes in Manitoba, Canada
In this study, a series of focus groups were conducted to gain an understanding of the nature of stress among Canadian Aboriginal women and men living with diabetes. Specifically, attention was given to the meanings Aboriginal peoples with diabetes attach to their lived experiences of stress, and the major sources or causes of stress in their lives. The key common themes identified are concerned not only with health-related issues (i.e. physical …
Examining Relationships between Leisure Involvement, Psychological Commitment and Loyalty to a Recreation Agency
Despite the recent proliferation of leisure involvement and loyalty research, very little attention has been given to systematically conceptualize and examine the nature of leisure involvement's relationship with loyalty. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether psychological commitment intervenes in the relationship between fitness participants' leisure involvement and their behavioral loyalty to a recreation agency. Concomitant c…
The impact of leisure coping beliefs and strategies on adaptive outcomes
Despite the recent growth of leisure coping research, it is not entirely clear: what aspects of leisure best contribute to coping with stress, and how the mechanisms that link leisure to adaptive outcomes operate. Another limitation of this research has been a tendency to examine leisure coping independent of general coping - coping not directly associated with leisure (e.g., problem-focused coping). To help overcome these limitations, the purpos…
Leisure, Stress, and Coping
Stress and coping are prevalent and ubiquitous in our everyday lives. The degree and manner in which we experience stress, and ways in which we cope with stress, strongly influence our daily choices and their outcomes, including those related to leisure. Research on leisure, stress, and coping is important within a broad spectrum of leisure research since it can be potentially integrated with leisure research on constraints and negotiations, life…
Examining Rival Models of Leisure Coping Mechanisms
The present study examined the role of leisure in coping with stress and promoting good health. Using police and emergency response service workers (n = 132), this study tested a number of theoretically grounded leisure coping models to discover mechanisms by which leisure coping influences the relationship between stressors and adaptational outcomes (i.e., immediate adaptational outcomes such as coping effectiveness and stress reduction, and phy…
Reflections on Leisure, Stress, and Coping Research
In response to the call for this special issue of Leisure Sciences, a variety of manuscripts were received. The collection of papers represents a maturing and evolving state of research on leisure, stress, and coping. The research maturation is demonstrated in the integration of multiple conceptual frameworks, critical construct examinations, and sophisticated analyses. The evolution is evident with the theoretical foundation modification, constr…
Exploring Leisure Coping Processes
The aim of this study was to explore detailed mechanisms by which the type of leisure activity and the psychosocial functions of ‘leisure coping’ jointly contribute to describing ways in which people manage stress and maintain good health through leisure activity. Path analysis of data from police and emergency response service workers suggests that frequency of participation in leisure activities, enjoyment of the experience and psychosocial fun…
A Short-term Longitudinal Analysis of Leisure Coping Used by Police and Emergency Response Service Workers
Despite the growth of leisure coping research, an important yet neglected idea is whether or not and how leisure contributes to coping with stress above and beyond the effects of general coping; that is, coping not directly associated with leisure (e.g., problem-focused coping). The purpose of the present study was to examine the contributions of leisure to coping with stress and maintaining good physical and mental health among workers of police…
Testing an Optimal Matching Hypothesis of Stress, Coping and Health
The present study focused on examining different ways in which various coping strategies helped university students manage different types of stressful events and promote positive coping outcomes (e.g., coping effectiveness, emotions, health, and well-being) in their daily lives. The study adopted and tested an optimal matching model of stress and coping and used a repeated-assessment field approach. According to the participants’ descriptions an…
The Effects of Physically Active Leisure on Stress-Health Relationships
Longitudinal analyses of the relationships among life transitions, chronic health problems, leisure, and psychological well‐being
In an attempt to integrate research on stress coping and research on psychological well‐being, we conducted longitudinal and disaggregated analyses of the relationships between leisure‐related constructs (i.e., level of leisure participation and the importance of leisure goals) and psychological well‐being for groups of individuals classified by gender and life events (i.e., chronic health problems and life transitions). Using two surveys on well…
The relationships between stress, health, and physically active leisure as a function of life‐cycle
This article examines relationships between stress, health, and participation in physically active leisure using data collected as part of the 1985 and 1990 U.S. National Health Interview Surveys (NHIS). In particular, the article analyzes: (a) the effects of life‐cycle progression (controlled for gender) on subjectively perceived stress and self‐reported health; (b) the role of physically active leisure in enhancing health or buffering adverse h…
A Path Analytic Model of the Relationships between Involvement, Psychological Commitment, and Loyalty
This paper outlines antecedents of involvement and mediating roles of developmental processes leading to participants' behavioral loyalty (i.e., involvement → psychological commitment → resistance to change → behavioral loyalty). We propose that individuals go through sequential psychological processes to become loyal participants including: (a) the formation of high levels of involvement in an activity, (b) the development of psychological commi…
