Abstract
Social isolation, also known as loneliness, is increasingly being recognized as a serious health risk throughout the world (Killeen, 1998; HawkinsElder et al., 2018; Pimlott, 2018; Luchetti et al., 2020; Sauter et al., 2020; Barreto et al., 2021). In many countries, social isolation and social connection have been positioned as a leading public health issue to be understood and addressed. In this chapter, we focus on outdoor leisure with family as an opportunity to enhance social connections that protect against loneliness. Social connection is defined as having meaningful, high-quality relationships with other people. Social connections can protect against illness and death, as well as enhance the overall quality of life (Holt-Lunstad et al., 2017). The interpersonal relationships upon which social connection is built depend on shared experiences (Kleiber et al., 2011). In families, the currency of relationships is shared leisure experiences (Melton et al., 2020). Thus, family leisure is a tool that can be used to increase social connection, health and wellbeing across the lifespan.
社会孤立,也被称为孤独,在全世界越来越多地被认为是一种严重的健康风险(Killeen, 1998;HawkinsElder等人,2018;Pimlott, 2018;Luchetti et al., 2020;Sauter et al., 2020;Barreto et al., 2021)。在许多国家,社会孤立和社会联系已被定位为需要理解和解决的主要公共卫生问题。在本章中,我们将重点放在与家人一起的户外休闲上,这是一个增强社会联系的机会,可以防止孤独感。社会关系被定义为与其他人建立有意义、高质量的关系。社会关系可以预防疾病和死亡,并提高整体生活质量(Holt-Lunstad et al., 2017)。建立社会联系的人际关系依赖于共同的经历(Kleiber et al., 2011)。在家庭中,关系的货币是共享的休闲体验(Melton et al., 2020)。因此,家庭休闲是一种可以用来增加社会联系、健康和幸福的工具。
