Undercounts of people with serious mental illness using the Washington Group Short Set questions
Results indicate that the WG-SS questions miss large percentages of even those with the most severe mental illnesses, who therefore may be substantially undercounted in US federal surveys using these questions. In turn, public mental health programs may be substantially underfunded
The Impact of Decreased Capacity to Experience Pleasure on Leisure Coping Strategies among Individuals with Major Depressive Disorder
Anhedonia is a key clinical feature of major depressive disorder (MDD) and affects one's capacity to experience pleasure. This study examined the extent to which anhedonia disrupts the use and the effect of leisure coping strategies. A cross-sectional online survey design was used to recruit individuals with MDD (n = 155). Structural equation modeling was performed to test the models of relationships among perceived stress, anhedonia, leisure cop…
Identity Negotiating
The purpose of this study was to investigate the meanings and outcomes of adaptive sport and recreation participation among individuals with disabilities. In-depth open-ended interviews were conducted with 17 individuals. Analysis of the data followed qualitative data analysis and classical grounded theory utilizing line by line coding, identification of emergent themes, and identification of a core category grounded in the data. Results indicate…
Daily experience of serious leisure, flow and subjective well‐being of older adults
The purpose of this study was to investigate how serious leisure and flow contribute to subjective well‐being (SWB) in the daily lives of older adults. Twenty‐two older adults were recruited from a local aging agency in a midwestern city in the USA. Experience Sampling Method was used to collect data on the daily experiences of the older adults. Hierarchical Linear Modelling was used to predict levels of SWB from experience variables (i.e. seriou…
Predicting Transitory Mood From Physical Activity Level Among People With Severe Mental Illness in Two Cultures
Background: Previous studies have indicated that physical activity (PA) is positively related to health-related quality of life and well-being among people with severe mental illness (SMI). Physical activity is broadly defined in this research as any skeletal muscle movement resulting in energy expenditure, including common daily activities such as housework and gardening, as well as walking for transportation and formal exercise. Although the ph…
Examining the Role of Self-Monitoring and Social Leisure in the Life Quality of Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury
The level of social leisure for the high self-monitors with spinal cord injury (SCI) was hypothesized to be related to life quality, while the level of social leisure would not be related to life quality for the low self-monitors with SCI. A total of 206 individuals with SCI who reside in community responded to the questionnaire that measured life quality, self-monitoring, and social leisure participation along with demographics. Three blocks of …
Activity Characteristics and Emotional Experience
Little is known about the day-to-day experience of people with mental illness. The research that has been conducted has characterized the lives of people with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) as largely solitary and little meaningful activity. In addition, mood states of boredom and anxiety have been implicated in the functioning of clients with mental illness in community treatment settings. The purpose of this study was to examine th…
Parent and Child Perspectives of Family Leisure Involvement and Satisfaction with Family Life
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between family leisure involvement and satisfaction with family life. The sample consisted of 179 families. Data were analyzed at the parent, child, and family level. Findings indicated that family leisure involvement was the strongest multivariate predictor of family satisfaction from the parent perspective, but was not a significant multivariate predictor from the child's perspective. At…
The Influences of Family Leisure Patterns on Perceptions of Family Functioning
This study conducted a preliminary test of a model of family leisure functioning by examining the relationship of core and balance family leisure patterns to family cohesion and adaptability. We hypothesized that core family leisure patterns address family needs for stability, facilitate the development of cohesive relationships, and are related to perceptions of family cohesion, whereas balance family leisure patterns address family needs for ch…

Leisure in community life of older rural residents
Much of the research on leisure among older people has focused on the impact of leisure on psychological well‐being. However, there appears a need to examine leisure from a more sociological level in terms of its impact on the social structures in which elderly people are embedded. The purpose of this study was to examine leisure as a context for interaction within the community lives of two subgroups of older residents in one rural region of Sou…
