Students with CRS membership at a Canadian university completed online questionnaires before and during the campus lockdown. Factor analysis showed that campus lockdowns added new stressors such as academic uncertainty, self-support struggles, and e-learning challenges to students’ academic life. Regression analysis also indicated that students who participated more frequently in recreational activities before the pandemic, experienced lower levels of pandemic-related stressors and reported higher levels of perceived competence to handle challenges and master their school workload during the lockdown. Results suggest that the impact of CRS activities on reducing levels of stress contribute to wellbeing above and beyond physical health benefits. Greater CRS participation cultivates personal strengths toward gaining lifelong skills and expansion of self to effectively manage negative life challenges.","PeriodicalId":51428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leisure Research","volume":"54 1","pages":"269 - 285"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42185899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study included two waves of data collection from 454 participants aged 30–49 years in South Korea; data collection occurred during the two peaks of the pandemic in 2020. A series of analyses was used to examine the associations in leisure patterns, demographic characteristics, stress, anxiety, and well-being during the pandemic. The results indicated that the participants’ leisure patterns shifted from participating in more home leisure to outdoor leisure between the two waves during the pandemic. In addition, participating in more outdoor leisure activities was found to contribute to better well-being. An improved understanding of the associations between the COVID-19 pandemic and various aspects of life is important for effective leisure development and to help people overcome life’s difficulties during and after the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":51428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leisure Research","volume":"54 1","pages":"157 - 179"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42728871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed scale was developed in three phases. In Phase 1, in-depth interviews with 13 participants of selected activities were conducted. Initially, the study adapted 61 items to establish a formal questionnaire through a rigorous content analysis of the interview samples collected from 494 valid questionnaires. In Phase 2, the initially selected 61 items were reduced and categorized into five dimensions with 51 items through exploratory factor analysis. In Phase 3, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test the reliability, validity, and model fit of the Conspicuous Leisure Behavior Scale. CFA results revealed that the second-order factors were self-consciousness, social display, style orientation, physical–mental activation, and activity specificity. Further insights into conspicuous leisure behavior and practical applications are proposed. Strategies for tourism managers and future research directions are also identified.","PeriodicalId":51428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leisure Research","volume":"54 1","pages":"354 - 372"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42131261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These types of activity reflect important leisure and travel choices of people under conditions of epidemiological risk. We use the daily mortality rate as a key predictor. The results show that higher rates of mortality are associated with a lower mobility in shopping and recreation activities, higher mobility in open space activities, and rather insignificant changes in mobility regarding necessities. The effect depends on the stringency of the lockdown policies. The results remain robust after applying endogeneity analysis and country-level controls.","PeriodicalId":51428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leisure Research","volume":"54 1","pages":"227 - 249"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49474672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Intrapersonal barriers had a negative impact on participants’ attitude in both countries, whereas structural barriers acting on behavioral intentions were only observed in the United States. Moreover, attitude significantly impacted behavioral intentions in both countries. Structural invariance tests using chi-square differences partially confirmed the moderating effects of nationality on certain paths. This study provides theoretical insights through the extended health belief model and theory of planned behavior. In addition, it offers practical insights by suggesting effective marketing tools for NBT in different cultures.","PeriodicalId":51428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leisure Research","volume":"54 1","pages":"203 - 226"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45627136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Skilled volunteer quilters, sewists and 3D printer enthusiasts emerged in a groundswell of life-saving gendered disaster response, creating face masks, ear savers, and face shields. Making PPE was both tiring and comforting, a distraction from, and solution to, the pandemic, revealing the tense overlap between volunteering and project-based leisure opportunities. Qualitative data collected from July 2020 to January 2021 demonstrate PPE makers engaging in carework for the self—turning to a chosen leisure activity to relieve anxiety and provide a needed momentary distraction from the pandemic, and carework for others—constructing and distributing PPE for those in need.","PeriodicalId":51428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leisure Research","volume":"54 1","pages":"250 - 268"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47316203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants assessed their perceived changes in emotional well-being during the lockdown. They reported a perceived increase in negative affect and a perceived decrease in positive affect during this period, compared to before. Regarding habits and routines, there was an increase in media and social media consumption, home cleaning and tidying up, eating and sleeping, cooking and baking, reading, talking or doing activities with other people in the home, and handwashing. Increases in media and social media use, eating, and doing nothing were significantly associated with an increase in negative affect and a decrease in positive affect.

This ethnographic study investigates the social worlds of cribbage players. The study analyzes cultural structures through the lenses of closeness, inclusiveness, and recreation specialization. Using survey questionnaires, informal interviews, and researcher observations, data were collected at cribbage events over a period of 3 years. Findings reveal a distinct cribbage culture characterized by varying levels of commitment, specialization, and degrees of connectedness. The study contributes to the currently limited literature on social worlds and indoor recreation specialization. It provides insight as to how people align at a community level to find meaning via recreational activities. Data also reveals a lack of social diversity in the cribbage community. Findings could be used in leisure programming for diversity and inclusion at community and grassroots levels.","PeriodicalId":51428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leisure Research","volume":"54 1","pages":"131 - 151"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49253589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Heintzman","doi":"10.1080/00222216.2022.2160621","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00222216.2022.2160621","url":null,"abstract":"Leisure places and spaces is an important topic for investigation as these places and spaces provide the context or containers in which leisure phenomena and leisure experiences occur. This theme issue consists of seven papers that are related in one way or another to leisure places and spaces. The order of the papers in this issue moves in general from topics that are concerned with physical places to those that are more related to social spaces. The place investigated in the first paper by Thomsen et al. (2023) is federally designated wilderness in the United States. This paper is a scoping review of visitor use management (VUM) research, conducted between 2000 and 2020 in federally designated wilderness areas, that evaluated trends in research and identified eight themes: visitor experience, wilderness character, visitor use, planning and policy, recreation ecology, VUM methodology, relevancy and additional values, and stewardship. The authors claim that this review can provide direction for future VUM wilderness research. Three forest areas (Protomagno, Monte Morello, and Tret) in Italy are the places considered in the second paper by Alessandro et al. (2023) who applied the Travel Cost Method (TCM) to the economic valuing of nature-based recreation based on both the proximity of the forest area to urban areas and the forest features. In all three forest areas hiking was the most important recreational activity followed by picnicking and mountain-biking. Managed natural forests were found to have a greater recreational economic value than unmanaged planted forests, while near-urban forests had a greater number of visitors but a lower economic value per visit than mountain forests. The places investigated in the third paper by Schirck-Matthews et al. (2023) were 161 Florida State Parks. Activity data from three fitness tracker apps were used to determine which features (landcover, boundaries, entrances, points of interest, trails) of these Florida State Parks and their surroundings (e.g., major cities, airports, bays and oceans) were associated with frequency of paddling, running, cycling and hiking activities. Runners, hikers and cyclists were attracted to parks with a greater density of the respective trail type while the number of canoe/kayak launch sites and percent of water landcover were significant predictors of more paddling activities. The number of restroom facilities and the population within a 30-minute drive were examples of factors positively associated with the frequency of activity in all four recreational activities. While the first three papers focus on natural places beyond urban settings, the fourth paper focuses on two urban parks in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Kim et al. (2023) investigated the factors that are associated with perceived park ownership. Social motivations, informal social control, social cohesion, frequency of use and park proximity to residential neighborhoods were all associated with perceived ownership ","PeriodicalId":51428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leisure Research","volume":"54 1","pages":"1 - 2"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46108691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
