- Title
On the Meaning of Leisure: An Investigation of Some Determinants of the Subjective Experience.
- Authors
Unger, Lynette S.; Kernan, Jerome B.
- Abstract
This study investigates six determinants of the subjective leisure experience and attempts to validate them within the framework of existing leisure theory. Mixed results suggest that three of these--intrinsic satisfaction, perceived freedom, and involvement--are invariant across situational contexts, while the remaining ones--arousal, mastery, and spontaneity--are more activity, specific. Interactions between personal variables and the situation are shown to affect the leisure dimensions perceived.
