“…Subjects may have been involved in activities outside of those included in this study during either period of measurement which may have affected their level of participation in the behaviors under consideration. Chang et al (1993) suggest that leisure interests may drastically change across developmental transitions; this study may not have examined forms of behavior that represent the leisure interests of young adults. At the same time, it should be recognized that since the patterns illustrated in the cluster solutions appear to make theoretical sense, the developmental pathways based on those patterns should also be accurate representations of the possible pathways of change and stability in patterns of leisure behavior.…”

Leisure is an important context in which human development occurs. Changes in leisure behavior patterns may indicate changing developmental needs or reflect contextual changes that impact leisure behavior. The transition from adolescence to young adulthood provides an excellent opportunity for the study of the stability of leisure behavior as individuals' contexts are changed with the adoption of adult roles and the potential for disruption of leisure patterns exists. Previous studies investigating leisure and the transition from adolescence to young adulthood have tended to be cross-sectional and focus on specific leisure behaviors rather than identifying patterns of leisure behavior. The present study involved a longitudinal investigation of leisure behavior patterns over a threeyear period during the transition from adolescence to young adulthood, and

“…Despite sometimes advocating use of a naturalistic and qualitative method, research on higher education students in either western countries or Hong Kong, has usually employed a positivist and quantitative method of data collection (Weiner and Hunt, 1983;Wade, 1991;Biggs, 1992;Chang et al, 1993;Widmer, 1997, Munson andSavickas, 1998). The prevalence of such a paradigm in understanding the relationship between learning and leisure and its role in young people's development can also be attributed to the way the subject matter has been studied.…”

This paper examines the role of leisure in the lives of Hong Kong higher education students. Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, the paper explores several patterns of involvement of full-time undergraduate students in leisure and learning. It further suggests various ways in which these two domains of students' lives can be related. A total of 266 diaries and 40 semi-structured interviews were used to solicit the data on student experiences across the seven higher education institutions in Hong Kong. Results showed a unique blend of the leisure and learning domains of students' lives especially in the context of group activities, in which leisure activities were related to strong social bonding and to the establishment of coherent study groups with classmates. The discussion focuses on the possible relationships between student learning and leisure and on how the different patterns of student involvement in these two domains inform an alternative conceptual framework for understanding the role of leisure in their lives and development. References are made to previous studies on higher education students and implications are drawn for future research in this area.
