“…Sports have also been presented as a facilitator of psychological development (Cornelius, 1995) in the fostering self-discipline, teamwork skills, co-operation, self-confidence, and dealing with failure (Lapchick, 1987). Although different effects can be found in the literature among particular leisure activities, Tinsley, Hinson, Tinsley, and Holt (1993) suggested that the benefits related to extracurricular involvement are a result of an individual's experience in leisure rather than the activity itself. This includes cognitive (concentration, challenge, and control) and affective (feelings of freedom, pleasure and competence) effects, which can be transferred to other contexts or experiences.…”

“…This may suggest a higher significance of such factors in the leisure domain than at work, where efficiency and performance appear to play a dominant role. Indeed, there is evidence that humans experience work and leisure activities in fundamentally different ways [50]. The former is associated with attributes such as performance, goal orientation and external rewards while for the latter intrinsic satisfaction, relaxation and aesthetic appreciation represent important issues.…”

An experimental study examined whether the effects of aesthetic appeal on usability test outcomes are moderated by usage domain. The aesthetic appeal of a cell phone was experimentally manipulated in both home-and work-based usage domains. The two usage domains were modeled in a usability laboratory. 60 participants completed a series of typical cell phone user tasks. Dependent measures such as performance, perceived usability, and emotion were taken. The results showed that aesthetic appeal had a positive effect on perceived usability but a negative effect on performance. The effects of aesthetic appeal on usability test outcomes were not moderated by usage domain. The results of this study imply that it may be sufficient to test dual-domain products in only one of their usage domains.

“…The first basis for the permeable boundaries between activity types is that intrinsically, many activities possess characteristics of more than one of the conventional three categories (Götz et al 2002;Meurs and Kalfs 2000;Shaw 1985;Tinsley et al 1993). This can be for a combination of three different reasons: (1) The same activity may be experienced differently by different people; (2) the same activity may be experienced differently by the same person at different times; and (3) an activity for a single person at a single time may mix aspects of multiple categories.…”

The Impacts of Ict on leisure Activities and Travel: A Conceptual Exploration

This paper offers a conceptual exploration of the potential impacts of ICTs on leisure activities and the associated travel. We start by discussing what leisure is and is not. We point out that the boundaries between leisure, mandatory, and maintenance activities are permeable, for three reasons: the multi-attribute nature of a single activity, the sequential interleaving of activity fragments, and the simultaneous conduct of multiple activities (multitasking).We then discuss four kinds of ways by which ICT can affect leisure activities and travel: the replacement of a traditional activity with an ICT counterpart, the generation of new ICT activities (that displace other activities), the ICT-enabled reallocation of time to other activities, and ICT as a facilitator of leisure activities. We suggest 13 dimensions of leisure activities that are especially relevant to the issue of ICT impacts: location (in)dependence, mobility-based v. stationary, time (in)dependence, planning horizon, temporal structure and fragmentation, possible multitasking, solitary v. social activity, active v. passive participation, physical v. mental, equipment/media (in)dependence, informal v. formal arrangements required, motivation, and cost.The primary impact of ICT on leisure is to expand an individual's choice set; however whether or not the new options will be chosen depends on the attributes of the activity (such as the 13 identified dimensions), as well as those of the individual. The potential transportation impacts when the new options are chosen are ambiguous.
