“…Consistent with previous studies, we found that Attraction (i.e., importance of the leisure activity) was the highest-rated domain of enduring involvement (see Jun, Kyle, Absher, & Hammitt, 2008;Kyle, Graefe, Manning, & Bacon, 2003b;Kyle, Norman, Jodice, Graefe, & Marsinko, 2007;Vlachopolous, Theodorakis, & Kyle, 2008). Social Bonding was the second highest-rated domain of video gamers, which was similar to recreational anglers but differed from campers (Jun et al, 2008) and exercise enthusiasts (Vlachopolous et al, 2008). Social Bonding was followed by Attraction, and lastly Centrality.…”

Video gaming has often been associated with negative outcomes such as aggression and social isolation, particularly for those who spend significant amounts of time playing. However, advances in video game technology have enabled online, multi-player experiences which may facilitate social relationships. Recent literature suggests that meanings ascribed to video gaming may be more important in determining social outcomes than gaming behaviors alone. This study examined the relationship of both behavioral and psychological involvement in video gaming to perceived friend-based social support among a sample of multi-player, first-person shooter gamers. Results indicated that behavioral involvement (e.g., time spent playing, dollars spent) was unrelated to perceived social support. Enduring (i.e., psychological) involvement with video games had varied relationships with the measure of social support. Gamers who perceived video gaming to be a forum for social bonding were more likely to perceive higher levels of social support, while gamers who appeared to centralize their lifestyle around gaming were less likely to report positive social support levels.

In this paper we extend the behavioural scope of discrete choice models for leisure activitytravel choices. More specifically, we investigate to what extent choices for leisure activities and related travels are driven by the satisfaction of needs. In addition to conventional attributes (such as activity costs), our regret based discrete choice model incorporates latent variables representing the anticipated level of individual needs-satisfaction by a particular leisure activity. The latent variables are calibrated with the help of subjective indicators of needs-satisfaction associated with the leisure activities. Results show that needs-satisfaction allows us to decompose a substantial share of the unobserved heterogeneity in leisure activitytravel decisions across respondents. Identifying the structural drivers of anticipated needssatisfaction also enables a better prediction of leisure activity choice.

“… Enduring involvement has been extensively researched in relation to consumer behavior and applied to leisure experiences (Havitz & Dimanche, 1990;Jun, Kyle & Vlachopoulos, 2012;Kyle & Chick, 2002;Lee & Scott, 2009;McIntyre,1989) but had merited only a footnote in the SLP literature (Stebbins, 2007, p.23, n.5), until a recent discussion of 'the seriousness dimension of involvement' (Stebbins, 2014, p.32-34).…”

The Serious Leisure Perspective and the Experience of Leisure

The serious leisure perspective (SLP), which divides leisure activities into three distinct forms, serious, casual and project-based, has been developed by Robert Stebbins over the last 40 years. This paper evaluates the perspective as theory and as a typology. The theory associated with the SLP, concerning social worlds, identification and optimal leisure lifestyles, is found to be generally untested because it has been largely developed in relation to the serious leisure form only. The validity of the typology is questioned on the grounds that 'seriousness' is a continuum, rather than discrete categories, and that most leisure activities can be engaged in with varying degrees of seriousness. It is proposed that the SLP be replaced by a more flexible, open research approach, the Leisure Experience Perspective, which consolidates features of the SLP and other research traditions and a number of other theoretical perspectives.
