“…For example, some work suggests that leisure improves health because it has stress-reducing benefits [8][9][10]. Leisure is proposed to help reduce individuals' current stress levels, such as by providing a break from stressful events or helping to restore normal routines disrupted by stressors [54], and/or improve the ability to cope with current or future stressful events [55]. In finding that engagement in leisure was associated with more positive mood, less negative mood, and less reported stress (on two measures, including a state version of the perceived stress scale that assesses perceived controllability and efficacy regarding stress [47,48]), there is strong initial support for both immediate stress-reduction benefits and in improving one's capacity to cope with stress.…”

“…For example, Diener and Suh (1997) and Karnitis (2006) acknowledged Leisure and recreation as a key domain in Quality of Life. Silverstein and Parker (2002) argued on the contribution of Leisure to 'successful' old age, a finding supported by Dann (2001), Nimrod (2007), and Coleman and Iso-Ahola (1993). Iwasaki et al (2005), Iwasaki (2007), and Jeffrey and Dobos A substantial amount of work provides support for the need to have a separate Vacations domain in Quality of Life.…”

Over the past three decades, two bodies of literature have developed relatively independently: Quality of Life research in Psychology and Travel Motivations research in Tourism. Yet, the constructs underlying these two bodies of research are strongly interrelated. This book chapter: (1) reviews the Quality of Life research area with a specific focus on the role of vacations as a Quality of Life domain; (2) reviews prior work in the area of Travel Motivations with a specific focus on motivational segments which may be associated with differences in the importance people attribute to vacations in general; and (3) proposes a conceptual model, referred to as the Grevillea Model, that integrates heterogeneity in the population with respect to both the importance attributed to vacations and Travel Motivations.

“…Empirical studies have provided evidence that leisure activities have significant health benefits through positive social relationships, resulting in improved physical function and psychological wellbeing (Coleman & Iso-Ahola, 1993; Iwasaki, 2002; Kleiber, Hutchinson, & Williams, 2002). However, mothers of children with ASD are often deprived of possible health benefits from leisure participation.…”

Purpose:This is a gap in knowledge related to leisure behaviours among mothers who have children with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). This study intended to understand leisure behaviours associated with leisure constraints among these mother caregivers. Method: Using a series of semi- structured interviews, a total of 12 participants engaged in this study. Results: Our findings consisted of two sections: (1) leisure negotiation and (2) leisure constraints which are (a) a lack of time for themselves, (b) constant attention, and (c) difficulty in finding a helper. Conclusions: This study found that participants modified their leisure patterns as they sought to provide more recreational opportunities for their children. It suggests that participants negotiated their leisure choices and developed family adaptability related to family leisure in order to suit the desires and needs of their child with ASD.
