However, it is unclear how digital leisure promotes happiness. To address this area of limited research, we identified social support from contexts of digital leisure as digital leisure social support (DLSS) and divided DLSS into digital leisure emotional support (DLES) and digital leisure instrumental support (DLIS) as well as examined relationships among DLES, DLIS, hope, and happiness. A total of 282 international students who attended a private university participated in this study. We used in-person surveys to measure DLES, DLIS, hope, and happiness. We conducted structural equation modelling to analyse the data. Results indicated that high levels of DLES predicted high levels of hope; high levels of hope predicted high levels of happiness; and high levels of DLES predicted high levels of happiness in the mediation model. However, DLIS did not correlate with hope and happiness. We discuss the implications of these results in terms of promoting happiness among international students during these challenging times.KEYWORDS: Digital leisureemotional supporthappinesshopeinstrumental supportsocial support Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsLiang-Chih ChangLiang-Chih Chang is a Professor in the Department of Living Sciences, National Open University, New Taipei City, Taiwan.

This study explored the opinions about barriers to participating in sport among non-active older people from the perspective of 463 senior athletes (M = 61.4, SD = 5.5 years) engaged in competitive sports. Participants completed a questionnaire including an incomplete sentence regarding the reason why many older people do not play sports. We analysed their answers using content analysis and performed bivariate analyses to determine possible associations with the sociodemographic and participatory characteristics of the sample. The results highlighted a range of perceived barriers which mostly related to past and present opportunities, and contained significant variations according to age, country of residence, and years participating in sports. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the way in which senior athletes perceive the barriers for the initiation of non-active older people in sports participation which could inform potential measures to promote greater participation in sport as a meaningful leisure activity among this age group.KEYWORDS: Older athletesbarrierscompetitive sportbeliefssport participationserious leisure Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Spain’s Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness (PSI2016-77864-R) under Grant BES-2017-080321 to the first author.

These trends are closely linked to the types of active leisure participation that adults engage in as young people, with those from working-class backgrounds more likely to engage in a narrower range of class-related activities in their youth, a trend that has been shown to constrain the likelihood of them participating into adulthood. One of the influences on this outcome is the way in which parental influence comes to impact upon the ways that young people from working-class family’s approach and engage in activities during their leisure time. In order to explore this influence, this paper examines the leisure lifestyles of white, working-class adolescent males via the use of group interviews in an attempt to explain their current and future participation of working-class male adolescents in sport and active leisure. The study utilised responses from 47 participants in Years 10 and 11 across eight focus group interviews as part of a semi-ethnographical multi-method design in a predominantly white, working-class mainstream secondary school. The results found that the participants spent significant amounts of their leisure time engaged in class-related, recreational activities within the local area alongside their peers. Linked to this was the apparent lack of formal guidance and support from their parents in relation the participants’ regular involvement in organised sporting activities. The behaviours and attitudes of these participants meant that the majority of the participants were neither inclined nor ‘set up’ to participate in the types and range of activities that may well have kept them active into and through adulthood.","PeriodicalId":48002,"journal":{"name":"Leisure Studies","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134887081","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}

Current Taoist leisure research mainly focuses on philosophical Taoism, an offshoot of the ‘real Taoism’. This paper will take philosophical Taoism and religious Taoism as a cultural whole and conduct a comprehensive, in-depth study of Taoist leisure, by paying more attention to its religious dimension, which is very esoteric, characteristic, and more of the essence of Taoism but rarely investigated before. We will explore Taoist leisure from the perspectives of philosophical bases, leisure concepts, pharmaceutical and life cultivation (i.e. alchemy, regimens), outdoor activities (i.e. seclusion, festivals, liturgy, travel) and its art practices (i.e. literature, paintings, music). Finally, we will make a concise comparison and exchange between the Taoist and the West leisure in the global vision.KEYWORDS: Taoismleisureconceptspracticealchemy AcknowledgementsThe first draft of this paper was completed in the Center for the Study of World Religions (CSWR) in Harvard University when I was a visiting scholar there in 2021-2022, I want to show my sincerest appreciation to my mentor (the director of CSWR) Charles M.

This research aimed to represent the extent of the three components using numerical scores and examined whether the scores are related to mental health. To determine the component scores, 1200 Japanese participants of varied ages chose activities they had ever experienced from 97 choices. They rated each of them regarding their mental, physical, and social efforts to perform it (0-none to 4-high). They also reported their level of psychological resilience and depressive symptoms. Based on the rating frequency, the three component scores for 86 activities were determined (few activities were removed during analysis). Then, a cluster analysis of the component scores classified those activities into 8 groups. Finally, the relationship between the component scores and mental health was examined. Each participant’s mental, physical, and social personal scores were calculated by adding the component score (e.g. mental score) of all the activities he/she rated. The individuals with high scores for all three components showed better mental health than those having fewer high-score components. The established scores should be helpful for future research, and it is revealed that exerting effort for all three components through leisure benefits mental health.KEYWORDS: Classificationcombination effectsleisure component scoremental healthrating evaluation AcknowledgementsTwo JSPS KAKENHI grants, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B) 19H01761 and Grant-in-Aid for Transformative Research Areas (A) 20H05803, and the 2020 Collaborative Research Support Program of Kanazawa University supported this work.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Supplementary MaterialSupplemental data for this article can be accessed online at https://doi.org/10.1080/02614367.2023.2256027Notes1. Additional scrutiny of these participants revealed that those who rated no activity were predominantly in one of the following categories: older females, currently employed, and having offspring. Compared to the participants who rated some activities, they reported lower resilience and higher depression scores. The lower mental health scores can be the result of lacking leisure participation or the cause of it.Additional informationFundingThe work was supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science [19H01761; 20H05803].Notes on contributorsYuta TakiguchiYuta Takiguch is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Institute of the Liberal Arts and Science at Kanazawa University, Japan.

The lockdown creates a ‘quasi-experiment’ situation to investigate people’s views of WLR since they are obligated to stay home for weeks or months instead of commuting to workplaces. Eighty-two Chinese were interviewed, and the qualitative data were analysed using NVivo 12.0. The results suggest a model of ‘BRIS’ depicting four types of WLR: (a) ‘B’ for Balance, i.e. a dynamic equilibrium; (b) ‘R’ for Reciprocity, i.e. mutual beneficial; (c) ‘I’ for Integration, i.e. work and leisure could be each other; (d) ‘S’ for Separation, i.e. totally different from each other. The study contributes theoretically to developing this BRIS model to interpret the WLR in the context of the Covid-19 lockdown. Practical implications for employee management and satisfaction enhancement in companies, leisure policies, as well as future prospects for telework are also provided, particularly the importance of ‘balance’ in WLR is called for.","PeriodicalId":48002,"journal":{"name":"Leisure Studies","volume":"43 1","pages":"804 - 819"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139343126","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}
