“…The research studies by Tinsley and Kass (Tinsley et al, 1977;Tinsely & Kass, 1978, 1979, 1980a, 1980b led to the conclusion that some benefits were reported to be present to some extent in all leisure activities, while the presence of other benefits varied from leisure activity to leisure activity. From the original list of items, it was determined that 27 benefits were leisure activity specific and were present more in some leisure activities than others.…”

“…The question, according to Driver, Brown, et al, is not of the existence of benefits, but of the identification of certain activities' benefits, the variance of benefits among participants, and the relative value or worth of these benefits to the participants. Tinsley, Barrett, and Kass (1977) identified 45 psychological needs that could potentially be satisfied by leisure activities. The satisfaction of these needs was empirically tested on participants in six different leisure activities, and this research was replicated and extended by Tinsley and Kass (1978).…”

“…To date, it has been well established that there are gender differences in leisure preferences (e.g., Gentry & Doering, 1979;Gurber, 1980) and participation (Bishop & Witt, 1970;Ragheb, 1980), and these gender differences may be related to personality (Kleiber & Hemmer, 1981). In general, studies of leisure-need patterns have demonstrated that participation in various activities is related to the need fulfillment capabilities of these activities (Becker, 1976;Tinsley, Barrett, & Kass, 1977). It also has been suggested that leisure choice is related to an individual's personality (Iso-Ahola, 1976).…”

Abstract:A gender-by-leisure choice model predicting four different leisure-choice-by-need patterns, based on gender restricted or unrestricted choice by same or different needs, is described and tested. Assessment of leisure-choice-by-need patterns was made by determining the relevance of a set of 13 need attributes for 16 different leisure activities. Gender differences in need attributes for each activity were identified using stepwise discriminant analysis. Results revealed significant discriminations for 12 of the 16 activities. Analyses further indicated that somewhat different clusters of need attributes were associated with each activity. Results provided tentative support for the proposed model, suggesting that participation in some activities is related to the same needs for males and females, while participation in other activities is related to different needs.gender stereotypes | gender studies | leisure activities | leisure needs

“…It has also been suggested that life satisfaction dépends on the degree to which an individual is able to sélect nonwork activities that might fulfill his or her needs (Wolf 1970). Tinsley et al (1977) stated that individuals should be able to structure their nonwork time so as to maximize gênerai life satisfaction, raise self esteem and facilitate increased self actualization. To do so one requires a framework to study need fulfillment in nonwork and this study attempted to verify whether our pré-sent formulations of need fulfillment (taken mostly in the context of work) are adéquate to explain need fulfillment in nonwork.…”

La notion de besoin est un sujet populaire de recherche parmi les employeurs depuis une vingtaine d'années. On dénombre trois formulations différentes de la classification des besoins (Alderfer, 1972; Lawler, 1973; Maslow, 1956) qui continuent à retenir l'attention des chercheurs et qui ont soulevé un débat animé au sujet de la description des modèles de comportement. Une grande partie de la recherche empirique concernant la satisfaction des besoins s'est effectuée en milieu de travail (Wahba et Bridwell, 1976), alors que l'on a bien peu traité de la satisfaction des besoins en dehors du travail (Burke, 1973; Mansfield, 1972). Récemment, on a exprimé l'avis que les attitudes du salarié au travail ne peuvent être bien comprises, si on les isole de ce qui se passe en dehors du travail (Bass et Bass, 1976; Gardell, 1976).Ce point de vue revêt plus de signification encore quand on le considère en fonction de l'idée que l'individu se fait de la qualité de la vie. Pour Dalkey, Lewis et Snyder (1972), la qualité de la vie est la mesure de la capacité pour un individu ou une société de satisfaire aux besoins psychologiques et physiologiques qu'ils ressentent, et ces auteurs assignent à ces besoins un rôle important dans leur modèle de la qualité de la vie. Ils ont aussi appuyé sur l'importance de la satisfaction des besoins dans lesdivers champs d'activité de l'existence en les opposant à la satisfaction des besoins en milieu de travail. D'autres chercheurs ont souligné la valeur de l'état d'inactivité pour l'individu comme élément déterminant de la santé mentale, de l'adaptation au travail, de la joie de vivre et de la qualité de la vie (de Grazia, 1962; Lofquist et Dawis, 1969; London, Crandall et Seals, 1977; Tinsley, Barrett et Kass, 1977). Dans cette étude, ne pas travailler ne signifie pas rester oisif; c'est, au contraire, exercer un ensemble d'activités dans lesquelles des personnes s'amusent, acquièrent des connaissances nouvelles, améliorent la pratique de leur profession ou participent davantage à la vie de la communauté. Récemment, Mitchell et Moudgill (1976) ont présenté une analyse assez bien réussite de la classification des besoins en milieu de travail. De plus, ces deux auteurs en donnaient la meilleure solution tant au point de vue conceptuel que méthodologique. C'est pourquoi leur exposé a été utilisé comme base pour l'étude de la satisfaction des besoins en dehors du travail.L'étude regroupait un échantillon de 403 salariés appartenant à des entreprises de fabrication et de publicité du Vancouver métropolitain en Colombie Britannique dont le nombre d'employés varie entre 100 et 300 personnes. Les données furent recueillies au moyen d'un questionnaire conçu pour la méthode d'enquête sur le terrain en vue d'une analyse plus approfondie et le taux des réponses s'est établi à 45 pour cent, ce qui est normal pour une enquête de ce genre.La satisfaction des besoins en dehors du travail fut mesurée au moyen d'une échelle de type Likert comprenant dix questions en prenant comme modèle l'échelle établie par Mi...
