“…The participants reported spending significantly more time watching television than before the pandemic, indicating that it had become a crucial coping mechanism for them. Consistent with previous studies, television can be an effective way to improve the mental health of older adults by relaxing and reducing the negative emotions that come with social isolation (Coelho et al, 2017;Ryu & Heo, 2016). In line with Casero-Ripollés (2020) findings, traditional media (especially television) have received renewed attention during the epidemic.…”

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous countries implemented lockdown measures, which significantly impacted individuals' mental well-being, particularly older adults. As a pervasive medium, television constitutes a vital resource upon which this demographic relies, and is posited to bolster their psychological health. Given the rapid growth of the aging population in China and the ongoing implementation of the Dynamic Covid-zero strategy, it becomes imperative to examine the preferences and motivations underlying television consumption amongst older adults during this era, an aspect often neglected in extant literature. In the present investigation, semi-structured interviews employing qualitative methodologies were conducted with a sample of 19 older adults, followed by tertiary coding utilizing NVivo software. The findings reveal a substantial increase in television viewership among older Chinese adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. Key motivations underpinning their television consumption include recreation, information acquisition, social engagement, and educational purposes. Furthermore, their programmatic preferences encompass news, dramatic productions, variety programs, and sporting events.

“…Researchers have identified greater involvement in leisure activities is associated with better health in older adults (Chang et al, 2014). A study in South Korea noted that an entertainment function was a strong predictor of relaxation for older adults when watching televised sports (Ryu & Heo, 2016). In this study, the riders noted enjoyment and interest in the scenery on the trishaw ride.…”

Long-term care facilities seek ways to enhance the quality of life for residents. Cycling Without Age (CWA), a new international cycling program, is gaining momentum for older adults. This study explored resident riders’ and trishaw pilots’ lived experience of their participation in the CWA program using a qualitative approach at a long-term care facility in the United States. Researchers conducted 27 face-to-face, semi-structured interviews with riders and pilots. For resident riders, the three themes identified included (a) breath of fresh air; (b) wave, chat, and remember; and (c) sit back and relax. Two themes were identified for the pilots: (a) change in frame of mind, and (b) mental and physical rewards. CWA can be as a new strategy for person-centered care. The CWA program provides nursing an opportunity to advocate, recommend, and obtain an order for residents to participate in the program.

“…In addition, low‐effort activities give employees the experience of being away from work, facilitating recovery experiences such as psychological detachment and relaxation (ten Brummelhuis & Bakker, 2012). For example, watching TV enables individuals to escape from everyday worries and feel entertained and relaxed (Ryu & Heo, 2016), helping them cope with stressful situations (Boursier et al, 2021). Therefore, low‐effort activities promote recovery by relieving the demand and stress associated with work and providing employees with opportunities to restore depleted resources (Trougakos & Hideg, 2009).…”

SummaryDecades of research have shown that abusive supervision hurts employees' well‐being. However, little is known about whether employees can recover from abuse during their leisure time. Building on the perspective of recovery paradox and the conservation of resources (COR) theory, we theorize that as an intense social stressor, daily abusive supervision depletes employees' resources and triggers their need for recovery, which in turn reduces physical and social recovery activities but increases low‐effort activities. We also propose that employees' extraversion influence employees' choices of recovery activities when facing a paradoxical recovery situation (i.e., feeling too exhausted to engage in active recovery activities. To test our hypotheses, we employed the experience sampling method to collect 1511 daily responses from 203 full‐time employees. The results of the multilevel path analyses indicated that (a) abusive supervision increased employees' need for recovery, which in turn increased next‐day positive moods via facilitating low‐effort activities, and reduced next‐day positive moods via inhibiting social activities; and (b) these indirect effects were strengthened for employees with lower (vs. higher) extraversion. Theoretical and practical implications are further discussed.
