Abstract

ABSTRACT People participate in serious leisure activities in various ways, such as regularly participating the soccer matches of the teams they support at the stadium. This study evaluates soccer matches as a serious leisure activity and determines how this activity affects the life satisfaction and psychological well-being of fans. Using online forms, 325 valid questionnaires were collected from soccer fans and analysed using SPSS 24 and Smart PLS 3.2.9 programmes. The findings show that the soccer fans’ participation in soccer matches at the stadium falls within the scope of serious leisure. This activity increases the fans’ life satisfaction and psychological well-being. With these findings regarding a specific activity, this study contributes to the serious leisure literature. I also suggest that stadiums should be turned into entertainment centres to encourage fans to spend more time there.

足球比赛作为一项严肃的休闲活动:对球迷生活满意度和心理健康的影响

人们以各种方式参加严肃的休闲活动，例如定期参加他们支持的球队在体育场的足球比赛。本研究评估足球比赛作为一项严肃的休闲活动，并确定这项活动如何影响球迷的生活满意度和心理健康。使用在线表格，从球迷中收集325份有效问卷，并使用SPSS 24和Smart PLS 3.2.9程序进行分析。研究结果表明，球迷在体育场内参与足球比赛属于严重休闲的范畴。这项活动增加了球迷的生活满意度和心理健康。有了这些关于特定活动的发现，这项研究为严肃休闲文学做出了贡献。我还建议体育场应该变成娱乐中心，以鼓励球迷在那里花更多的时间。
