Abstract:The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among leisure attitude (e.g., behavioral, affective, cognitive), satisfaction and well-being (e.g., stress, loneliness, personal self-esteem) for college students. A total of 207 undergraduate students enrolled in a major public university participated in this study. Results indicated that leisure attitudes are positively associated with leisure satisfaction. The satisfaction derived from participation in leisure activities with positive leisure attitudes effects psychological well-being by decreasing stress and loneliness, while also enhancing personal self-esteem. These findings expand existing research regarding leisure attitudes, satisfaction, and well-being by providing evidence that having positive attitudes toward leisure activities can enhance social and psychological well-being through a mediating effect of satisfaction. Finally, college students may use their free time in order to enhance physical and psychological condition by doing leisure activities.
