Data gathered from 989 Finnish disc golfers were divided into clusters based on the serious leisure inventory and measure model. The results indicate that disc golfers are generally interested in travelling domestically to participate in disc golf, and that they tend to share common push and pull motives. Preferences for general destination attributes and specific disc-golf-related destination attributes tend not to vary significantly between the clusters. Although the relationship is not strictly hierarchical, disc golfers who are more serious tend to report higher mean values than their more-casual counterparts. Disc golfers travelling to play their sport expect well-maintained and versatile courses and tend to prefer courses they have not previously visited. Factors related to the quality of courses are significantly more influential in disc-golfers’ motivations to travel than those associated with the destination in general, such as accommodation or nightlife. This knowledge is vital to inform marketers as participation in this relatively new sport continues to grow.","PeriodicalId":48002,"journal":{"name":"Leisure Studies","volume":"70 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136347483","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}

This result was obtained using structural equations on longitudinal data from a sample of 4,967 individuals (+14) collected in two waves between September 2019 and June 2020. Based on social capital theory, our model tests two routes for the mobilisation of social support prior to the stay-at-home policies: on the one hand, engagement in face-to-face leisure activities; on the other hand, engagement in activities online, such as chatting, browsing the Internet and being present on social media. According to the structural equation model, engagement in both types of leisure activity before the pandemic was associated with higher perceived levels of social support. However, only offline leisure activities have such a positive effect on social support that they protect (indirectly) mental health during the first lockdown, notably a period when social relationships were not nurtured face-to-face. These findings help to unravel further the ties between leisure and mental health in the historical contingencies of the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":48002,"journal":{"name":"Leisure Studies","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135038819","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}

In addition, the mediating and moderating effects of leisure activities and health on family support and life satisfaction are examined. This study is based on a primary survey of 311 older adults in India. A questionnaire was administered for data collection. PLS-SEM was used to analyse the data. The analysis was done in two phases: measurement model analysis and structural equation modelling. Measurement model analysis estimated that the constructs have adequate reliability and validity. SEM results showed the positive impact of family support on life satisfaction, both directly and indirectly through leisure activities. Health of older adults moderates the relationship between family support and life satisfaction. The novelty and value of the study is the significant role of health and leisure activities between family support and life satisfaction.KEYWORDS: Leisure activitiesfamily supportlife satisfactionhealthPLS-SEM Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Ethics statementThe study does not require the approval from the committee/board of the university/institutions.Additional informationNotes on contributorsPreeti TarkarPreeti Tarkar is associated with GLA University since 2014 as a research scholar (JRF qualified) till October 2018 then from November 2018 to till now as an Assistant Professor.

Guided by the serious leisure perspective and self-determination theory, this study focused on the community of Super Smash Brothers (SSB). This study adopted a qualitative approach and interviewed 13 members with different types of involvement with the community. The results showed that participants’ continuous involvement with the activity is motivated by pursuing personal and social benefits as well as their serious pursuit of esport and their identity as an SSB community member. The esports experiences also improved their well-being through enhancing their social well-being, improving their quality of life and satisfying their needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Lastly, the finding showed that despite the digital nature of esports, the onset of the pandemic has negatively impacted player experiences and re-emphasised the importance of attending in-person events. Based on the findings, this study discussed how to reconceptualise esports as well as highlighted the need for more future research focusing on the positive effects of esports.KEYWORDS: Esportsesports fansesports motivationesports experiencesdigital wellbeing Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsKyle.

In line with previous leisure constraint models, we theorised that constraints may impact current ‘leisure participants’; therefore, in this study, nine second-generation women were interviewed who were active in sport at the time of the data collection. The interviews aimed to explore the extent to which socio-cultural constraints to sport participation exist, with a particular focus on gender norms and how these may be constrictive to full access and enjoyment of sport spaces. A reflexive thematic analysis was used to create themes from the data set and three findings are presented here. Firstly, gender-based constraints largely deriving from family and culture are explored. Next, resource-based constraints of time and finances are outlined from a gendered perspective. Finally, racist and discriminatory behaviours from others demonstrate the intersectionality of gender and ‘race’, impacting women migrants’ and refugees’ sporting experiences. While sport has the potential to facilitate greater feelings of belonging amongst migrants and refugees, we argue that more needs to be done to consider the complex constraints impacting women, to ensure greater inclusion in sport spaces.KEYWORDS: Refugeesmigrantssportleisure constraintsIranAfghanistan Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsCatherine PhippsDr Catherine Phipps is a Senior Lecturer in Education and Sociology at Solent University in Southampton.

Leisure and acculturation are attracting limited research interest, but serious leisure’s role in assisting new arrivals in overcoming social and language challenges when they establish amateur, hobby or volunteer careers is unknown. This study explores that research gap by examining qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with 18 long staying English speaking professional workers who pursue hobbyist homebrewing in South Korea. Analysis revealed they experience creative fulfilment by their sharing of brewing activities with Korean family and friends and they improve social acceptance by their volunteer organising of beer tasting events with interested community members. Usefully, language contact with native speakers through all aspects of their hobby enhances their language acquisition and socialisation. Theorising from further analysis supports these rewards are taking place in a serious leisure speech community featuring brewing activity and volunteer activity spaces combined with English, Korean and blended language contact. Generalising, these findings imply that involvement with continuing leisure activities that offer possible serious leisure pathways within mixed language formats can significantly assist non-native speaking arrivals with acculturation in their new countries.KEYWORDS: Homebrewingleisure speech communitysociolinguisticsserious leisureacculturation AcknowledgmentThis work was supported by the Soonchunhyang University Research Fund [Soonchunhyang University/순천향대학교]Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by Soonchunhyang University [TBA].Notes on contributorsAaron W.

Drawing specifically from the cognitive -affective-behavioural framework, we propose and empirically examine a model that integrates perceived novelty, as the cognitive component. Joy, and positive surprise were treated as the affective antecedents of memorable tourism experience. Memorable tourism experience was treated as the affective component, and attitude towards the destination and word-of-mouth were treated as the behavioural component. Data were collected from 265 visitors who attended the 2019 Taiwan Lantern Festival, which innovatively employed advanced drone technology to create an unprecedented visitor experience. Our results indicate that perceived novelty is positively related with joy and positive surprise, and all three are further positively related with memorable tourism experiences. Memorable tourism experiences demonstrate positive spill-over effects of festival experience on attitudes and word-of-mouth towards the host destination. Our results confirm the value of novelty gained from the technology-enhanced tourist experience, the critical role of positive surprise as the key emotional antecedent to memorable tourism experiences and the spill-over effects of festival experience.KEYWORDS: Technology-enhanced experiencefestivalnoveltymemorable tourism experienceattitude towards destinationword-of-mouth AcknowledgementThe authors thank Eudora Tong for her assistance in this research.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsChing-Fu ChenChing-Fu Chen is a professor in the Department of Transportation and Communication Management Science, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan.
