“…Leisure satisfaction is commonly assessed using the leisure satisfaction scale (Beard and Ragheb, 1980), with a number of researchers reporting high scores of 196 T. N. Vong internal consistency in their studies (Beard and Ragheb, 1980;Riddick, 1986;Misra and McKean, 2000). On the other hand, the QOL literature suggests no definitive way to operationalize the construct.…”

This study investigates the relationship between leisure satisfaction and quality of life in Macao, a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People's Republic of China. Macao has the highest population density of any city in the world, putting particular pressure on the use of resources for leisure. By examining the significance of leisure to Macao's inhabitants, the paper argues that access to leisure is a vital element in harmonizing community life. The study also contributes to understanding the existing deficits in leisure provision in the city and indicates the need to address these deficits appropriately.

“…Brown & Frankel, 1993;Ragheb & Grif th, 1982;Russell, 1987) have reported positive correlations between leisure satisfaction and life satisfaction of older adults. Leisure satisfaction has also been found to be related to leisure attitude (Ragheb, 1980;Ragheb & Tate, 1993), leisure participation (Backman & Mannell, 1986;Ragheb, 1980), and knowledge of leisure resources and leisure values (Riddick, 1986).…”

“…Morale is considered to be a more futureoriented optimism or pessimism with life and comprises a mix of items expressing cognitively based attitudes towards life (Lawton, 1997). Life satisfaction implies a judgement or a comparison between what people think they deserve, expect, or reasonably aspire to and their actual lives (Riddick, 1986). A number of research studies examined various factors that contribute to SWB such as personality (Diener, Oishi, & Lucas, 2003;Lawton, 1994), positive-negative affect (Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985;Reich & Zautra, 1983), life satisfaction (Diener & Biswas-Diener, 2000;Ryff & Keyes, 1995;Stock et al, 1986), self-esteem (Lucas, Diener, & Suh, 1996), personal experience (Milman, 1998), free-time boredom (Lee & McCormick, 2004), and leisure variables (Hawkins et al, 2004;Nimrod, 2007;Ragheb, 1989).…”

“…In addition, other researchers (e.g., Hawkins, Foose, & Binkley, 2004;Iso-Ahola & Weissinger, 1984;Parry & Shaw, 1999;Riddick, 1986) have empirically demonstrated that leisure was associated with psychological well-being as well as physical health.…”

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between leisure-related variables and individuals' subjective well-being (SWB). This study employed the systematic random sampling strategy using 2005 Bloomington Telephone directory. A total of 172 out of 535 households were selected in a self-administered drop-off/mail-back questionnaire survey. Seventy-seven female (49%) and 80 male (51%) residents in a small Midwestern town in the united States responded to the questionnaire. The overall response rate for the survey was approximately 30 per cent. Model fit statistics demonstrated that the relationship between leisure variables and SWB in the proposed model fit the data well. Supporting relationships is an important contribution to the leisure literature in the sense that leisure variables might have various direct and indirect effects on individuals' SWB through leisure satisfaction. The finding of this study suggested that people who perceive leisure more positively may be more satisfied in their lives. future research should study linkages between leisure variables and SWB from qualitative and longitudinal approaches.key words • leisure, frequency of leisure participation, leisure constraints, leisure boredom, subjective well-being Downloaded by [University of Toronto Libraries] at 09:
