“…This satisfaction, in turn, has been found to predict greater stress-related growth (Chun, Lee, Kim, & Heo, 2012). Furthermore, leisure enjoyment, specifically, has been related to more positive well-being and greater stress-related growth (Ábrahám, Belenczei, & Szabo, 2012). As both leisure involvement and enjoyment have clear overlap with our measure of psychological engagement, our examination of psychological engagement in activities creates new avenues for studying predictors of the potential benefits of leisure experiences, as well as future leisure participation itself.…”

Emerging adults. motivations for participation might be particularly important in predicting psychological engagement.

Leisure walking provides an escape from routines and daily lives, and offers positive experiences, such as fascination with nature, reflection, and mental relaxation. the processes of exploring and observing nature while walking build bonds between people and spaces. In walking, people explore personal capabilities and overcome challenges associated with demanding landscapes, which enhances feelings of satisfaction and achievement. Furthermore, sharing spaces and similar positive experiences with others while walking promote social interactions and a sense of belonging that combats feelings of loneliness and benefits well-being. Ample research on physical activity, including walking, has explored the role of psychological, social, and environmental factors in the activity participation, and recognised its benefits for mental health and well-being. this paper reviews literature in the field of leisure and environmental psychology to present the evidence of the positive relationships between leisure walking in the natural environment and its psychological and social benefits for well-being.
