  • Beyond the big five: A 10-year longitudinal study of personality traits predicting leisure-time physical activity among adults

    Vinu Selvaratnam, Alex T Silver et al.•ARTICLE•Leisure/Loisir•2026

    The purpose of this study was to compare and contrast the Big Five model of personality with Tellegen’s Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ) to investigate how they predict light intensity, moderate intensity and vigorous intensity leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) using population-based secondary longitudinal data. The Tellegen facet harm avoidance predicted a decrease in moderate and vigorous LTPA. From the Big Five, extraversio…

  • The cultural omnivore hypothesis applied to reading habits: A test of novelty-seeking and intrinsic motivation as explanatory factors

    Alex T Silver, Steven E Mock•ARTICLE•Leisure/Loisir•2025

    According to the cultural omnivore hypothesis, higher class individuals possess a broader palette of tastes and preferences when it comes to leisure consumption. Although potential explanations of this pattern have been suggested, little research done to explore potential explanatory factors for this relationship. We set out to test the often-speculated explanatory factor openness to experience and drew on other class-focused theory. Namely, the …

  • Factors affecting psychological commitment and loyalty to parks and other forms of protected areas in Canada

    Steven E Mock, Elizabeth Halpenny et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Ecotourism•2023

    We use a model of psychological commitment to better understand the diverse motivations that enhance behavioural loyalty to parks and protected areas. Psychological commitment reflects the degree to which an individual identifies with, wants to learn about, and chooses freely to engage with a particular phenomenon, and these factors, in turn, lead to greater loyalty and resistance to alternatives. With data collected from 634 park visitors in Alb…

  • The role of past campus recreational sports participation in predicting students’ stress and competence during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Narges Abdeahad, Steven E Mock•ARTICLE•Journal of Leisure Research•2023•Cited by: 1•References: 1

    This pilot study predicted the association of pre-lockdown campus recreational sports (CRS) participation with post-secondary students’ stressors and perceived competence during the campus lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Students with CRS membership at a Canadian university completed online questionnaires before and during the campus lockdown. Factor analysis showed that campus lockdowns added new stressors such as academic uncertainty, se…

  • How socioeconomic status shapes the association of social leisure with well-being

    Steven E Mock, David Drewery et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Leisure Research•2023•Cited by: 2•References: 6

    Socioeconomic status (SES) or social class and leisure are closely linked, with leisure often seen as a marker of social class or social class constraining or facilitating access to leisure. Another way to examine social class and leisure is to consider the psychological impact of SES. Themes of individualism and collectivism have been linked to social class, namely, those with lower SES value collectivism and those with higher SES value individu…

  • Socioeconomic status and leisure preferences: A test of the omnivore hypothesis with Canadian data

    Alex T Silver, Steven E Mock•ARTICLE•Leisure/Loisir•2022

    We examined the relationship between socio-economic status (SES) and leisure preferences with Canadian secondary data collected in the 1970s. In leisure studies, there is little to no research drawing on the omnivore hypothesis to examine the relationship between SES and leisure. With the omnivore hypothesis, higher SES is expected to be associated with greater breadth of leisure activities in addition to greater investment in activities associat…

  • Advance care planning among older LGBT Canadians: Heteronormative influences

    Open Access•B De Vries, Gloria Gutman et al.•ARTICLE•Sexualities•2022

    Advance care planning (ACP) in North America often takes place in a cultural context of great ambivalence about death and dying, challenging efforts to discuss end-of-life care desires and preparations for death. Such challenges are amplified for sexual and gender minority older adults who often lack connections to traditional heteronormative systems of support. The extent of ACP preparation (completed documents, discussions) and their predictors…

  • A League of Their Own? A Longitudinal Study of Ego Involvement and Participation Behaviors in LGBT-Focused Community Sport

    Steven E Mock, Katie Misener et al.•ARTICLE•Leisure Sciences•2022•Cited by: 6•References: 64

    Although lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) adults may face stigmatization in sport settings that undermines this otherwise identity enhancing form of leisure, LGBT-focused sport groups provide a supportive setting for sport participation. We examine facets of ego involvement (e.g., identity affirmation, social bonding) as predictors of sport group behaviors (e.g., practice participation, volunteering) with 228 LGBT-focused sport group parti…

  • The role of health beliefs in moderating the relationship between leisure participation and wellbeing among older Chinese adults

    Jibin Yu, Steven E Mock et al.•ARTICLE•Leisure Studies•2021•Cited by: 4•References: 58

    Much research suggests that physical leisure activity contributes to wellbeing and that sedentary leisure activity diminishes wellbeing, but an increasing number of studies challenge this dominant discourse. To better understand the relationship and provide new insight to inconsistent findings, we examined how health beliefs concerning the benefits of leisure moderate the association between leisure participation and subjective wellbeing by drawi…

  • The Influence of Corporate Social Responsibility and Team Identification on Spectator Behavior in Major Junior Hockey

    Kevin A Morrison, Kristen A Morrison et al.•ARTICLE•Leisure Sciences•2020•Cited by: 1•References: 67

    Sport spectatorship is a predominant leisure activity for many individuals who invest considerable time, discretionary income, and emotional energy in their teams. As a result, spectators are becoming more discerning about different aspects of their fan experience and extending their awareness and evaluation of a team's efforts beyond the main sport spectacle. This study builds on previous research on corporate social responsibility (CSR) in spor…

    The current research examines leisure facility use as a moderator of the negative association of caregiving demands with wellbeing among informal caregivers. In accordance with the leisure constraints model, the study also explores the role of intrapersonal, interpersonal, and structural factors that may constrain or facilitate caregivers' use of leisure infrastructure.

  • Association of dual-earner parents' perceptions of time-stress with leisure participation: An analysis of gender and social context

    Steven E Mock, Margo Hilbrecht•ARTICLE•World Leisure & Recreation•2012•Cited by: 3•References: 12

    With a population-based sample of dual-earner parents (951 women and 1059 men), we examined the association of paid work hours and perceived time-stress with two forms of leisure participation and the ways gender may shape the social context of that participation. We expected that although work hours and time-stress would be associated with a lower likelihood of leisure participation, the typically gendered nature of childcare would mean women wo…

    If nationalism is the assertion of legitimacy for a nation and its effectiveness as a political entity, why do many nations emphasize images of their own defeat in understanding their history? Using Israel, Serbia, France, Greece and Ghana as examples, the author argues that this phenomenon exposes the ambivalence that lurks behind the passions nationalism evokes. Symbols of defeat glorify a nation's ancient past, while reenacting the destruction…

  • Idealizing Parenthood Functions to Justify Policy Neglect of Parents’ Economic Burdens

    Open Access•Richard P Eibach, Steven E Mock•ARTICLE•Social Issues and Policy Review•2011•Cited by: 1•References: 24

    Despite the fact that raising children contributes to the public good, parents receive little government assistance with their childrearing expenses. We suggest that people believe parents deserve little public assistance in part because they accept common myths that idealize the emotional rewards of parenthood. We review research demonstrating that parents accept these parenthood idealizing myths to alleviate dissonance about their costly invest…

To better understand the relationship and provide new insight to inconsistent findings, we examined how health beliefs concerning the benefits of leisure moderate the association between leisure participation and subjective wellbeing by drawi…

  • Socioeconomic status and leisure preferences: A test of the omnivore hypothesis with Canadian data

    Alex T Silver, Steven E Mock•ARTICLE•Leisure/Loisir•2022

    We examined the relationship between socio-economic status (SES) and leisure preferences with Canadian secondary data collected in the 1970s. In leisure studies, there is little to no research drawing on the omnivore hypothesis to examine the relationship between SES and leisure. With the omnivore hypothesis, higher SES is expected to be associated with greater breadth of leisure activities in addition to greater investment in activities associat…

  • Advance care planning among older LGBT Canadians: Heteronormative influences

    Open Access•B De Vries, Gloria Gutman et al.•ARTICLE•Sexualities•2022

    Advance care planning (ACP) in North America often takes place in a cultural context of great ambivalence about death and dying, challenging efforts to discuss end-of-life care desires and preparations for death. Such challenges are amplified for sexual and gender minority older adults who often lack connections to traditional heteronormative systems of support. The extent of ACP preparation (completed documents, discussions) and their predictors…

  • A League of Their Own? A Longitudinal Study of Ego Involvement and Participation Behaviors in LGBT-Focused Community Sport

    Steven E Mock, Katie Misener et al.•ARTICLE•Leisure Sciences•2022•Cited by: 6•References: 64

    Although lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) adults may face stigmatization in sport settings that undermines this otherwise identity enhancing form of leisure, LGBT-focused sport groups provide a supportive setting for sport participation. We examine facets of ego involvement (e.g., identity affirmation, social bonding) as predictors of sport group behaviors (e.g., practice participation, volunteering) with 228 LGBT-focused sport group parti…

  • Factors affecting psychological commitment and loyalty to parks and other forms of protected areas in Canada

    Steven E Mock, Elizabeth Halpenny et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Ecotourism•2023

    We use a model of psychological commitment to better understand the diverse motivations that enhance behavioural loyalty to parks and protected areas. Psychological commitment reflects the degree to which an individual identifies with, wants to learn about, and chooses freely to engage with a particular phenomenon, and these factors, in turn, lead to greater loyalty and resistance to alternatives. With data collected from 634 park visitors in Alb…

  • The role of past campus recreational sports participation in predicting students’ stress and competence during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Narges Abdeahad, Steven E Mock•ARTICLE•Journal of Leisure Research•2023•Cited by: 1•References: 1

    This pilot study predicted the association of pre-lockdown campus recreational sports (CRS) participation with post-secondary students’ stressors and perceived competence during the campus lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Students with CRS membership at a Canadian university completed online questionnaires before and during the campus lockdown. Factor analysis showed that campus lockdowns added new stressors such as academic uncertainty, se…

  • How socioeconomic status shapes the association of social leisure with well-being

    Steven E Mock, David Drewery et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Leisure Research•2023•Cited by: 2•References: 6

    Socioeconomic status (SES) or social class and leisure are closely linked, with leisure often seen as a marker of social class or social class constraining or facilitating access to leisure. Another way to examine social class and leisure is to consider the psychological impact of SES. Themes of individualism and collectivism have been linked to social class, namely, those with lower SES value collectivism and those with higher SES value individu…
