It integrates the positive psychology concept of savouring by examining the positive emotions savoured by domestic tourists on the basis of broaden-and-build theory, including the savouring processes used when recalling their recent local food experiences. Data were collected only from Indian residents using a self-administered open-ended web-based questionnaire. Empirical findings revealed that out of the 178 respondents, more than half reported tasting local food as one of the main motivations for undertaking their particular trip. The two main motivations for tasting local food were to experience something new and experience the local culture. The most common positive emotion savoured by guests when remembering their local food experiences was joy, followed by love. Taste and socializing with friends and family members were identified as the dominant factors that intensified respondents’ savouring of their recent local food experiences.","PeriodicalId":47015,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Leisure Research","volume":"26 1","pages":"316 - 337"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44984282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eight participants who were working as outdoor educators in the primary, secondary or tertiary education sector in Christchurch, and who spent time in the Port Hills both as part of their teaching practice, as well as in their personal lives, were interviewed. We found walking interviews provided a richer perspective on place and practice than would have been possible using only indoor and stationary interviews. This suggests there is merit in utilizing mobile methods across a range of fields examining the interactions of people and place. In the outdoors, where people and place are often on the move, the walking interview has potential to capture this mobility and better understand its significance in outdoor education practice.","PeriodicalId":47015,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Leisure Research","volume":"25 1","pages":"529 - 547"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46064738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to understand whether experienced riders actively search for ‘flow experiences’ that can manifest themselves in a range of euphoric feelings, varying from the loss of awareness of time to sub-conscious control over actions. Exploring findings from research undertaken in New Zealand and England, the paper suggests that committed riders do encounter and can describe a range of flow characteristics when riding, although the findings conclude that such experiences are considered to be by-products of participation, rather than motivational factors in their own right.","PeriodicalId":47015,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Leisure Research","volume":"26 1","pages":"285 - 299"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49357464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Qualitative researchers typically position themselves in their studies, acknowledging their identity, and the ways it may have influenced the study. I argue that reflexivity should be a part of quantitative survey research as well. The imperfect nature of social science, especially leisure research, makes purely positivist research difficult, despite the emphasis on this tradition and the outward appearance of ‘objectivity’ found in quantitative research in our field. Conducting quantitative survey research with surfers can be especially ‘messy,’ because they have long been thought to have their own antiestablishment, nonconformist culture. My pragmatist-grounded research with this user group provides compelling evidence for the importance of incorporating reflexivity into survey research. The paper concludes with recommendations for quantitative leisure researchers.","PeriodicalId":47015,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Leisure Research","volume":"26 1","pages":"269 - 284"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42889842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The issue is intensely debated, especially considering that the ducks are native animals and are not over-populated. The paper compares statements from each stakeholder’s website, to identify their ethical positions. The hunters demonstrate an instrumental, deontological ethic that requires them to follow a set of detailed rules. They portray themselves as safe and responsible hunters, with expertize that enables them to exact a ‘clean kill’. The management authority supports and regulates hunting, and provides a detailed explanation of ‘ethical hunting’ that includes ‘ethical practise in the field’ and legal compliance. The animal activists hold an animal rights ethic, and directly oppose duck shooting. They demonstrate a teleological, or ends-based approach, that is focused upon the outcomes of shooting on the ducks.","PeriodicalId":47015,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Leisure Research","volume":"26 1","pages":"251 - 268"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43024531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Informed by feminist epistemology, semi-structured interviews were conducted to understand the emotional labour of female craft beer professionals resulting in a dynamic and innovative arts-based analysis. Participants discussed their love of the industry and provided insights into unforeseen issues of motherhood, safety, and sexual violence. The motivations behind the leisure pursuits of brewing were complex, which lead to actively engaging in both outward anger and coping strategies resulting in three overarching stanzas, (1) anger as a catalyst, (2) the bridge, and (3) coping mechanisms. Highlighting and giving a platform for women in the craft beer industry to share their narratives, this study creates a dialogue around the complexities and struggles women endure by shedding light on the emotional labour experiences and their ongoing struggles.","PeriodicalId":47015,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Leisure Research","volume":"26 1","pages":"372 - 395"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43193025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are rare cases in which the freedom associated with leisure choices explicitly challenges the existing social order and the values on which it is founded. Types of leisure that are not in harmony with the core values of society have been discussed under the conceptual category of deviant leisure. Inspired by previous work on leisure and the social order, as well as by some observations on Israeli society during the pandemic, this paper offers some reflections on the possible theoretical contribution of the concept of deviant leisure to the study of the interconnection between work, leisure, and the social order.","PeriodicalId":47015,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Leisure Research","volume":"26 1","pages":"514 - 520"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41359186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This critical commentary explores the conceptual application of the sunk cost effect to understanding the potential for decreasing commitment levels to a leisure activity, as demonstrated through the framework of enuring involvement.","PeriodicalId":47015,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Leisure Research","volume":"26 1","pages":"499 - 504"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43329329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Regardless of the geographical scale in question, there are pressing social crises concerning soaring rates of wealth inequality, racial injustices, institutional corruption, educational inequities, displacement of Indigenous peoples, social isolation, and political instability, to name a few examples. Further, by nearly any sober account, we are in the midst of an ecological crisis as well. While climate change is the overarching behemoth that encompasses most of these concerns, there are more specific worries associated with species loss, desertification, overfishing, topsoil despoliation, paradoxical drought and flooding, agricultural monocultures, ocean acidification, and many others. Most assessments are that we have passed a ‘point of no return’ in our warming climate, as we have already exceeded many of the supposed tipping points (polar sea ice loss, melting of Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, tundra methane release, etc.), accelerating a disastrous feedback loop. In short, assessing our social and environmental world often paints a grim picture. What, then, are we to do? The weight of these contemporary social and environmental concerns are so totalizing that they regularly feel overwhelming, if not paralyzing (Robbins and Moore 2013). We see them, we consider them, and often, we move on, hoping that others undertake the significant work to address them. Because, after all, these problems are just too much to take on. This collective feeling of anxiety and inadequacy in the face of insurmountable problems seems to have gripped our contemporary culture (Remes et al. 2016), and an unevenly experienced global pandemic has only worsened this condition (Salari et al. 2020). In this essay, I make the case that a critical political economy approach can address not only the crises at hand, but also these feelings of inadequacy, paralysis, and complacency that all too often accompany the facing of crises. A critical political economy approach places the structure of the economy and sets of power-laden relationships as primary drivers of these socioenvironmental phenomena that mark our crises. I address these pressing, materialist concerns through a critical philosophy of leisure, of all things. I make that case that our neoliberal political economy masks and obfuscates the social and environmental exploitation at the heart of capitalism, a system that has an explicit goal to ‘rob us of our capacity to recognize that we are in crisis’ (Stewart 2021, 263). Understanding leisure, and a recentering and perhaps a reconceptualization of the good life, is one necessary and materialist confrontation that we can and should make.","PeriodicalId":47015,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Leisure Research","volume":"26 1","pages":"493 - 498"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45043685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
