An Examination of the Motivation—Involvement Relationship

Involvement, Tate, and me

“…Bloch et al 2009;Csipak et al 1995;Kim et al 1997;McIntyre 1989;McIntyre and Pirgrim 1992;Park 1996) but they also have critics who have found them less reliable (e.g. Havitz and Dimanche 1999;Kyle and Chick 2002;Kyle et al 2006). This may be due to the multi-dimensional nature of involvement and researchers trying to adapt scales to a breadth of products, services and leisure situations.…”

“…Leisure researchers began to explore involvement during the 1990s from both social-psychological and behavioural perspectives and have explored relationships between motivation and enduring involvement (Kyle et al 2006), involvement, commitment and loyalty (Iwasaki and Havitz 1998), involvement and attitudinal loyalty (Park 1996) and involvement and place attachment (Kyle et al 2003;Gross and Brown 2008) across a range of leisure settings (for an overview of earlier research see Kim et al 1997;Kyle and Chick 2002) but to date, involvement has not been explored from a heritage or arts context. Furthermore, Kyle et al (2007) note that most leisure scholarship focuses on either 'enduring' or 'situational' facets of the involvement construct.…”

The effects of motivation on leisure time management

“…As a result of the findings regarding motivation, it is stated that four motivation factors (socialization, economic properties, entertainment and escape) are effective. As stated in the study's introduction, user motivations can change according to different recreational activities (Kyle et al, 2005;Ewert, 1985). Motivations can be grouped under more general titles in the areas that present opportunity for different recreational uses than in the ones that present limited recreational opportunity.…”

“…Confer et al (1996) stated in a study that was conducted in Delaware State Park that escape/loneliness, nature/ learning, entertainment/recreation and socialization/ curiosity motivates people. Kyle et al (2005) emphasized in a study carried out in three different camping areas in Southeast National Forest of America that motivations have a positive effect on participation and they provide sustainability. Vogelsong et al (1997) stated that the characteristics of a Park site have effects on the determination of motivations.…”

Exploring Parental Perceptions of Self-Efficacy, Role Modeling and Factors Contributing to Family Health Practices from an Employer-Provided Family Weight Management Program: A Mixed Methods Study

“…Engagement in diverse physical activities promotes connections between social networks and feelings of satisfaction (Low, Soloman, & Matthews, 2009). This social bonding suggests that an individual's social ties to activities are often shaped by the meanings derived from physical activity experiences (Kyle, Absher, Hammitt, & Cavin, 2006).Physical activities afford individuals opportunities to affirm their identities and to express their identities to those around them (Kyle et al, 2006). The lack of physical activity and increasing sedentary nature of the American population has prompted intervention treatments to include a focus on reinforcement of progress toward physical activity/exercise, making plans for physical activity/exercise, and providing education about physical activity/exercise.…”
