Pickleball Participation and Leisure Identity Among Retirees: The Mediating Role of Skill Ratings and Psychological Involvement.
Backgrounds/Objectives: Identity transition is an inevitable change for retirees as they lose work-related identities. This study aimed to examine how pickleball participation could contribute to retirees' identity formation while investigating the mediating role of skill rating and psychological involvement.
Methods: The data from 188 retired participants at the 2019 Minto US Open Pickleball Championships were used. A Serial Multiple Mediation using bootstrapping was conducted to test the hypothesized relationships.
Results: Pickleball participation was positively associated with skill rating and psychological involvement, while psychological involvement had the strongest direct effect on leisure identity. Mere participation did not directly affect leisure identity, but indirect effects were observed through skill rating and psychological involvement.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that skill development and psychological involvement in pickleball contribute significantly to leisure identity formation among retirees, highlighting the importance of committed engagement in leisure activities such as pickleball for identity formation postretirement. Significance/Implications: This study provides insights for sport organizations and managers to develop programs that foster skill development and psychological involvement in pickleball, potentially supporting retirees in forming new leisure-based identities and facilitating successful aging and retirement adjustment.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Aging and Physical Activity (JAPA) is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes peer-reviewed original research reports, scholarly reviews, and professional-application articles on the relationship between physical activity and the aging process. The journal encourages the submission of articles that can contribute to an understanding of (a) the impact of physical activity on physiological, psychological, and social aspects of older adults and (b) the effect of advancing age or the aging process on physical activity among older adults.
In addition to publishing research reports and reviews, JAPA publishes articles that examine the development, implementation, and evaluation of physical activity programs among older adults. Articles from the biological, behavioral, and social sciences, as well as from fields such as medicine, clinical psychology, physical and recreational therapy, health, physical education, and recreation, are appropriate for the journal. Studies using animal models do not fit within our mission statement and should be submitted elsewhere.
