In the past decade an increasing amount of leisure research has been devoted to the negative effects of constraints on behaviour. In this study constraints were looked at from the perspective of the Rational Choice Theory. Furthermore, our study focused on patterns of constraints. Respondents were classified according to the constraints that they considered relevant to their participation in outdoor recreation. The first question was whether or not there might be a relationship between the perceived constraint pattern and present outdoor recreational behaviour. The second question was to what degree the perceived constraint pattern could be traced back to the social-structural condition of the respondent. An empirical study among 1970 respondents showed that the perceived constraint pattern was indeed related to present behaviour. Furthermore, the perceived constraint clusters differed in several social-structural characteristics. However, these characteristics did not predict cluster membership very well. Further analysis showed that the predicted classification, using social-structural characteristics, was more informative with regard to outdoor recreational behaviour than the actual classification. Although not predicted, this finding is in accordance with the Rational Choice Theory, in which real rather than perceived constraints are hypothesized to influence behaviour
