ABSTRACT Therapeutic recreation (TR) presents two conceptualizations of recreation: as rehabilitation or as part of overall wellness. Textbooks are cultural artifacts used for passing disciplinary knowledge to students. The study purpose was to understand how TR practice is constructed and reproduced in textbooks, with attentiveness to hidden discourses. Selected chapters from two highly subscribed TR textbooks in Canada and the USA underwent a discourse analysis. Using a critical disability studies framework, respective thematic distinctions arose: individual responsibility for health, professionalization of TR, and medicalization of recreation; and being in relationship, disability as diversity, and solution and strength-based focus. The respective authors’ TR assumptions of either ameliorating deficits or building on existing strengths led to differing TR goals, varied practice contexts, and distinctive positions on relationship building – creating divergent discourses and discord at a cost to the field and those utilizing its services.

ABSTRACT Like many sports, ice hockey has become subject to year-round participation; here, many summer hockey camp operators compete against each other for consumers (players). Using Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) and Customer Equity (CE) theory, where customer acquisition and retention are the foundational concepts, the purpose of the research was twofold. First, the aim was to understand what Value Equity (VE) drivers are most important to parents when deciding to register their child for a summer hockey camp. A second goal was to ascertain if summer hockey camp operators are performing to the level of importance ascribed to those factors, as determined by parents of camp attendees. Surveys with 148 parents, who registered their child in a summer hockey camp in the Niagara Region of Ontario, Canada, were used in order to complete the IPA. The findings indicate that parents deem ‘quality’ factors, versus elements of convenience and/or price, as both ‘most important’ and ‘most in need of managerial attention’.

ABSTRACT We examined whether intragroup helping mediates the relationship between identification with one’s fandom and self-esteem and psychological well-being in three different samples of fans: bronies (fans of the television series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic), anime fans (fans of Japanese animation and graphic novels), and furries (fans of anthropomorphic art and stories). Fans completed measures of ingroup identification, intragroup helping, and self-esteem (Studies 1 & 2) or psychological well-being (Study 3). Across all studies, the results tended to support intragroup helping as a mediator of the relationship between identification and self-esteem (Studies 1 & 2) and psychological well-being (Study 3). The results highlight a possible mechanism contributing to the benefits of belonging to fan groups and illustrate the possible benefits of helping others within one’s fan group.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to provide a holistic analysis of Egypt’s image as a tourist destination on Social Media Platforms (SMPs). As a result, the promoted Destination Image (DI) of Egypt on SMPs was investigated, as well as the characteristics of the SMPs and how they are currently viewed by users (tourists). An exploratory analysis using a two-step quantitative approach was carried out. The findings show that the Egyptian SMPs failed to make a relative balance among the various key attractions to successfully deliver Egypt as a destination for all tastes. However, the validity of using the SMPs as marketing platforms can be improved if they are managed by a proficient team recognizing the value of the destination and being conscious of marketing techniques (e.g., the relevance of content, information depth and amount, and the ability to develop a relationship).This paper concentrates on Egypt’s image; however, the value of this study lies in being among the recent studies to assess both the projected and perceived destination image on social media platforms.

ABSTRACT Despite the numerous lifelong benefits associated with continued leisure reading, adult reading habits are steadily declining (Statistics Canada, 2019). The purpose of this study was to understand how the recalled childhood home reading environment, and the associated psychological need-satisfaction, were related to young adults’ leisure reading beliefs and practices. Based on Self Determination Theory (Ryan & Deci, 2017), we used recalled basic psychological need-satisfaction during parent-child shared reading experiences as a reflection of the degree of intrinsic reading motivation support. We collected data from 214 Canadian young adults (age 18–29). Almost all participants reported some degree of leisure reading. Moreover, we found that home reading environment may significantly contribute to the development and reinforcement of positive reading attitudes, identities and habits. Basic psychological need-satisfaction only partially mediate the relationship between home reading environment and current reading identity. These results are discussed in terms of implications for both researchers and parents.

ABSTRACT Bouwer and Van Leeuwen after reviewing the research of three leisure scholars concluded that these scholars ‘conceptualisations are fundamentally related to psychological well-being and not spiritual well-being.’ Their review built upon Bouwer’s earlier chapter that examined whether leisure contributes to spiritual well-being. Bouwer concluded ‘the existent evidence for supporting the statement that leisure is a moderator for spiritual well-being is (conceptually) too weak to make a valid case for it.’ To advance scholarship on this topic and ultimately enhance our understanding of the relationship between leisure and spiritual well-being, the purpose of this paper is to respond to both Bouwer’s and Bouwer and Van Leeuwen’s research reviews. This paper concludes that most studies on leisure and spiritual well-being have discovered that leisure is associated with or contributes to spiritual well-being while a few studies have demonstrated that leisure can also detract from spiritual well-being.

ABSTRACT Culture change in long-term care (LTC) signals a shift from a medical model of care to a social, relational model of caring to support the creation of strong compassionate communities and promote quality of life. Since leisure is a strong contributor to quality of life in LTC, researchers have argued that recreation and leisure practitioners have an important role to play in the culture change movement. In this paper, we describe Canadian recreation and leisure practitioners’ perceptions of their role and experiences in the LTC culture change process. Findings highlight how recreation and leisure practitioners see their role as drivers of culture change but question the role of formal education in advancing culture change initiatives. In light of the findings, we discuss the opportunities and challenges that exist for recreation and leisure practitioners as they realize their potential to advance culture change in LTC.

ABSTRACT The importance of maintaining wellness for seniors is widely acknowledged, and can be achieved through recreation and leisure programming. Nevertheless, little research has explored the intersection between the rural context and the processes of Therapeutic Recreation (TR) practice and programming within long term care (LTC) settings. Using a qualitative single case study methodology, our research sought to examine this intersection. Semi-structured interviews and document analysis were conducted. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis and the socio-ecological model. The results are presented as two themes. First, we discuss the influence of health care policy and practice on TR programming. Second, we discuss context specific challenges and opportunities of carrying out programming. Implications of a context-focused approach to programming and care are discussed with regards to practice and future research.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to develop scenarios of Iranians’ future participation in leisure-time physical activity (LTPA). To this end, 12 experts in the field of leisure, sociology, and sport management were invited to take part. The Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method was used to organize and analyze the data collected in a questionnaire featuring a pairwise comparison of 18 indicators of LTPA which were drawn from the relevant literature. The DEMATEL was then used to determine the critical uncertainties of the future participation in leisure-time physical activities. Considering the two most important critical uncertainties from economic and technological dimensions, four possible futures around Iranians’ participation in these activities were created. By taking the uncertainties into consideration, decision-makers can contribute to the promotion in LTPA in the best and most efficient manner by having knowledge about the most influential framing factors of possible futures.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to examine parental sense of psychological resistance toward children’s participation in sleepover camping and to determine the relationship with parenting attitudes, especially focused on anxiety and interfering tendencies toward children. Data were collected by mail survey from 452 parents who had children under 23 years old. The survey included demographic factors, 24 items measuring Sense of Psychological Resistance and 20 items examining anxiety and interfering tendencies of parents. The results indicated that some parents had a sense of psychological resistance towards the ‘Environmental Concern’ and ‘Counselor’ factors. Also, parents with high anxiety and interfering tendencies showed a higher sense of psychological resistance to their children’s participation in sleepover camping than those with low anxiety and interfering tendencies. Recommendations for research and practice are provided.
