Abstract This study examined neoliberalism’s influence on how access provisions are conceptualized and designed by municipal recreation practitioners. Specific attention is paid to how neoliberalism intersects with practitioners’ conceptualizations and administration of recreation access provisions for low-income citizens. Sixteen municipal recreation practitioners in Atlantic Canada were interviewed. Our findings indicated that practitioners viewed access to municipal recreation for low-income citizens predominantly in terms of financial resources and needing to break down several barriers. Further, four types of recreation access provisions for low-income citizens were administered by practitioners, including fee assistance programs, subsidies for all, one-off scenarios, and robust alternative supports.

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, who died this past year, was arguably the foremost progenitor of the study of experience in the interdisciplinary field of leisure studies. “Mike C,” as he was happy to be called by all, readily introduced his work on intense enjoyment, or what he represented as flow experience, into the field’s lexicon. As the psychology of leisure was also emerging at the time, with the work of John Neulinger, Seppo IsoAhola and others, Csikszentmihalyi’s Beyond Boredom and Anxiety (1975) gave this subfield a ‘phenomenology’ to accompany the rather vague terms of intrinsic motivation and perceived freedom that were seen as definitional for leisure to be leisure. This phenomenology—ultimately to be informed as it was by groundbreaking applications of “beeper” (pager) technology in his Experience Sampling Method (Csikszentmihalyi & Larson, 1987)—anticipated the study of involvement, engagement, absorption and immersion that have become the primary foci of those such as Mat Duerden (2022) who are identifying and cultivating the best of leisure experience, i.e., “optimal” leisure experience, in seeking ways to promote and design for it. Csikszentmihalyi’s earliest work, though, was based on interview studies by people in both work and leisure contexts who could talk about being so involved in their activity that their thoughts and actions seemed to ‘flow along’ seamlessly (“flow” being an emic word with those he interviewed). In his earliest studies, these people included surgeons as well as rock climbers and painters. On a personal note, I reached out to him about an unpublished paper of his on rock climbing I discovered while I was studying extracurricular activities as an educational psychology doctoral student in the early 1970s; and some ten years later, while on the leisure studies faculty at the University of Illinois, I invited him to be a keynote speaker for a conference we were holding there and subsequently joined Reed Larson and him in analyzing their ESM data on adolescents in an article for JLR (Kleiber et al., 1986). Once the academic leisure studies community discovered his work on leisure activities, Csikszentmihalyi was invited to do university and conference talks all over North America. In those presentations he was likely to address the ambiguity of leisure as a context that was most “pure” when action was voluntary and enjoyable and incorporated structured activity. But the only experience he consistently associated with leisure itself was the feeling of freedom, i.e., the “free” in free time.

As an educator and administrator in the recreation, parks, and tourism discipline for nearly 30 years, I have had the good fortune of observing first-hand many of the trends, triumphs, and struggles that we as a collective community have confronted. In the late 1970s, I chose recreation administration with a specialization in parks and natural resources as my undergraduate major literally a few months before the passage of Proposition 13 in California that ended two decades of what many considered to be the heyday of public parks and recreation (Talmage et al., 2017). Suddenly, the job prospects plummeted for those of us pursuing a recreation-related degree. Nevertheless, many recreation educators around the country adjusted and re-envisioned their academic programs to prosper for the coming decades. During the ensuing decade of the 1980s, commercial recreation burst upon the scene largely spurred by the seminal work of Bullaro and Edgington’s (1986) Commercial Leisure Services: Managing for Profit, Service, and Personal Satisfaction. Shortly thereafter, others followed, filling the void in this emerging area of our discipline as evidenced by the first edition of Introduction to Commercial and Entrepreneurial Recreation (Crossley & Jamieson, 1988). As we entered the 1990s, the study of tourism expanded significantly, and many tourism scholars found a home in recreation-related academic departments. To coincide with this shift, Crossley and his colleagues revised the title and focus of the fourth through seventh editions (Crossley et al., 2018) of their book Introduction to Commercial Recreation and Tourism: An Entrepreneurial Approach. The 1990s also saw a shift away from leisure as a descriptor of academic department names including some of the leading doctoral degree granting programs in the United States such as Texas A&M University, the University of Utah, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Fast forward to the 21st century and event planning, hospitality, and sport management have been added to the mix for many recreation-related academic programs in North America and beyond. Again, revitalization, renewal, and embracing change propelled many academic programs to growth, innovation, and a new wave of opportunity. How is this evolution over the past 1=2 century relevant to Duerden’s (2022) thesis that it is time to contemplate a change from a leisure context to experience focus? Change in our discipline has perhaps been the only constant. Time and time again, we have observed some traditional recreation-related academic programs decline in
作为一名从事娱乐、公园和旅游学科近30年的教育工作者和管理者，我有幸亲眼观察到我们作为一个集体所面临的许多趋势、胜利和斗争。20世纪70年代末，在加利福尼亚州13号提案通过前几个月，我选择了专门从事公园和自然资源的娱乐管理作为我的本科专业，该提案结束了许多人认为是公共公园和娱乐鼎盛时期的20年（Talmage et al.，2017）。突然间，我们这些追求娱乐相关学位的人的工作前景一落千丈。尽管如此，全国各地的许多娱乐教育工作者调整并重新设想了他们的学术项目，以在未来几十年蓬勃发展。在随后的20世纪80年代的十年里，商业娱乐在很大程度上受到了Bullaro和Edgington（1986）的开创性工作的刺激：《商业休闲服务：利润、服务和个人满意度管理》。此后不久，其他人紧随其后，填补了我们学科这一新兴领域的空白，《商业和创业娱乐导论》第一版（Crossley&Jamieson，1988）就是明证。进入20世纪90年代，旅游研究显著扩大，许多旅游学者在娱乐相关的学术部门找到了归宿。为了配合这一转变，Crossley和他的同事修改了他们的书《商业娱乐和旅游导论：创业方法》第四版至第七版（Crossley et al.，2018）的标题和重点。20世纪90年代，休闲也不再是学术系名称的描述，包括美国一些领先的博士学位授予项目，如德克萨斯农工大学、犹他大学和伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校。快进到21世纪，北美及其他地区的许多娱乐相关学术项目都将活动策划、酒店和体育管理纳入其中。再次，振兴、更新和拥抱变革推动了许多学术项目的发展、创新和新的机遇浪潮。在过去的1/2个世纪里，这种演变与Duerden（2022）的论点有何关联，即是时候考虑从休闲环境到体验中心的转变了？我们纪律的改变也许是唯一不变的。一次又一次，我们观察到一些传统的娱乐相关学术项目在

I agreed to write this discourse response when it appeared that the pandemic might be waning slightly, and before social justice protests became nation and world-wide. I had heard Mat Duerden present his paper at the 2019 NRPA Conference and I appreciated his logical and scholarly presentation of experience design/management. However, despite his well-articulated thesis and evidence of how well it was working at his university, I was no more convinced than before that this direction was the way to go in expanding and understanding our field. I thought it would be reasonably easy to react to the arguments Duerden (2022) presented, although I had some discomfort with whether or not I could add anything new to the discussion. In light of everything that has happened in 2020 related to Covid-19 and the continuing discussions of racial inequality and white privilege, I now wonder if a discussion about what we call leisure is really important in the big scope of the world in which we now live. It seems that issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), human health, and ecological sustainability ought to be where leisure scholars put their energy. I was even more convinced of this needed approach after reading many of the critical commentaries that appeared in the recent special issue of Leisure Sciences (Lashua et al., 2021). The authors of these commentaries challenged readers to re-think everything about leisure. Lashua et al. suggested that perhaps leisure should be re-appraised regarding what has been “uncritically accepted, environmentally unsustainable, and systematically oppressive during normal times” (p. 5). Therefore, although I applaud Duerden’s (2022) efforts, I believe more than ever the focus of leisure studies/sciences ought to be re-thinking how it contributes to a broader social and environmental agenda. It is not a matter of context or experience, but both and how they contribute to human and community growth and development. Duerden indicated that leisure ought “to play a role in helping individuals find meaning and fulfillment across the contexts of their lives” (p. 167) I do not dispute this idea, but I think professionals need to look upon the broader social implications of leisure. A focus on individual experience is not enough. The needed meanings of leisure must go beyond designing experiences to encompass questions about whose experience and what the consequences of such experiences are. The discussion is not an either/or question but both/ and. It is not about changing terminology or names of departments, but about the milieu of community life and how leisure contributes to social and environmental outcomes. I have been an advocate for focusing on making leisure a better understood concept for years. I have argued (e.g., Henderson, 2010, 2011) that leisure studies is not dead and that what researchers, educators, and practitioners need to do is to elevate its
当疫情似乎略有减弱时，在社会正义抗议成为全国性和世界性抗议之前，我同意写下这篇话语回应。我听说Mat Duerden在2019年NRPA会议上发表了他的论文，我很欣赏他对经验设计/管理的逻辑和学术介绍。然而，尽管他的论文阐述得很清楚，也有证据表明他的大学工作得很好，但我并不比以前更相信，这个方向是扩大和理解我们领域的方向。我认为对Duerden（2022）提出的论点做出反应会相当容易，尽管我对是否可以在讨论中添加任何新内容感到有些不舒服。鉴于2020年发生的与新冠肺炎有关的一切，以及对种族不平等和白人特权的持续讨论，我现在想知道，在我们现在生活的世界的大范围内，关于我们所谓的休闲的讨论是否真的很重要。似乎多样性、公平和包容（DEI）、人类健康和生态可持续性等问题应该成为休闲学者关注的焦点。在阅读了最近出版的《休闲科学》特刊（Lashua et al.，2021）上的许多批评性评论后，我更加相信这种必要的方法。这些评论的作者要求读者重新思考关于休闲的一切。Lashua等人建议，也许应该重新评估休闲，因为它“在正常时期被不加批判地接受、环境不可持续和系统性压迫”（第5页）。因此，尽管我赞扬Duerden（2022）的努力，但我认为休闲研究/科学的重点比以往任何时候都更应该重新思考它如何为更广泛的社会和环境议程做出贡献。这不是背景或经验的问题，而是两者以及它们如何为人类和社区的成长和发展做出贡献。Duerden指出，休闲应该“在帮助个人在生活中找到意义和满足感方面发挥作用”（第167页）。我不反对这一观点，但我认为专业人士需要关注休闲更广泛的社会影响。仅仅关注个人经历是不够的。休闲所需的意义必须超越设计体验，包括谁的体验以及这些体验的后果。讨论不是非此即彼的问题，而是两者兼而有之的问题。这不是关于改变术语或部门名称，而是关于社区生活的环境，以及休闲如何对社会和环境结果做出贡献。多年来，我一直倡导将休闲作为一个更好理解的概念。我认为（例如，Henderson，20102011）休闲研究并没有消亡，研究人员、教育工作者和从业者需要做的是提升其

Abstract Based on previous studies on traditional Chinese leisure thought, this paper presents an in-depth study of the etymology of leisure, 休閒, to explore the origins, meanings, and interrelationships of related words and the literature on these topics. The paper then discusses the connotations of traditional Chinese leisure from three perspectives: Confucian leisure based on morality and etiquette, Taoist naturalist leisure, and Buddhist leisure based on the wisdom of emptiness and the spiritual realm. Lastly, the paper points out that traditional Chinese leisure embodies the wisdom of the implementation of Tao in daily life, and illustrates Tao’s influence on Chinese leisure from earlier to current generations in four aspects: the attitude of following and imitating nature; the pursuit of the Golden Mean and the harmonious realm; the passive, quiet, introverted leisure style; and the ideal life that integrates work and leisure.

This Theme Issue on Leisure and the Family is a new initiative of the Journal of Leisure Research where accepted papers on the same theme are published together in the same issue. Unlike a special issue, where papers are submitted based on a call for papers on a specific topic, a Theme Issue contains papers that are submitted to the journal as regular papers but are then grouped together after acceptance and published in the same issue. Thus, a Theme Issue arises spontaneously when a number of papers on the same theme happen to be accepted around the same time. This first Theme Issue on the theme of Leisure and the Family begins with a paper by Izenstark and Middaugh (2022) titled “Patterns of family-based nature activities across the early life course and their association with adulthood participation and preference.” A significant limitation in research on the developmental outcomes of children’s exposure to the natural environment is the tendency to limit childhood nature experiences to one point in time. The authors address this deficiency by investigating continuity and change in familybased nature activity participation patterns in terms of activity type and frequency across the early life course, based on five developmental periods, and whether these early experiences are associated with adulthood preferences and participation. The next two papers in this theme issue are much more focused on mothers and specific leisure activities. In “Leisure reading experience promoting prenatal attachment among pregnant women: A moderated mediation model,” Nivedhitha and Geetha (2022), note that amongst women, leisure reading is the most frequently chosen leisure activity, and thus it has the potential to reduce stress and enhance positivity for expecting mothers. Thus, they construct a moderated mediation model to explain leisure reading’s indirect effects upon prenatal attachment. Liu, Jia, and Wang (2022) in “Yoga leisure and identity development of Chinese second-time mothers” note that while China adopted a universal two-child policy in 2016, Chinese second-time mothers experience challenges balancing family, career, and other life dimensions. Thus, they explore the role of yoga leisure in helping these mothers cope with these challenges and to reduce identity conflicts. The subsequent two papers concern widowhood and tragedy in the lives of women. Standridge, Dunlop, Kleiber, and Aday (2022), in a paper titled “Widowhood and leisure: An exploration of leisure’s role in coping and finding a new self,” report on in-depth interviews with 13 widows concerning their leisure activities as they adapted to the new reality of being a single woman. Leisure activities were sought out for changing needs (e.g., support, companionship, and distraction), to provide connections with women in similar circumstances, and as a means of personal evolution. In “Travel after tragedy—A phenomenological study on what it takes for women to travel solo after tragedy,” Sengu

Unlike a special issue, where papers are submitted based on a call for papers on a specific topic, a Theme Issue contains papers that are submitted to the journal as regular papers but are then grouped together after acceptance and published in the same issue. Thus, a Theme Issue arises spontaneously when a number of papers on the same theme happen to be accepted around the same time. This first Theme Issue on the theme of Leisure and the Family begins with a paper by Izenstark and Middaugh (2022) titled “Patterns of family-based nature activities across the early life course and their association with adulthood participation and preference.” A significant limitation in research on the developmental outcomes of children’s exposure to the natural environment is the tendency to limit childhood nature experiences to one point in time. The authors address this deficiency by investigating continuity and change in familybased nature activity participation patterns in terms of activity type and frequency across the early life course, based on five developmental periods, and whether these early experiences are associated with adulthood preferences and participation. The next two papers in this theme issue are much more focused on mothers and specific leisure activities. In “Leisure reading experience promoting prenatal attachment among pregnant women: A moderated mediation model,” Nivedhitha and Geetha (2022), note that amongst women, leisure reading is the most frequently chosen leisure activity, and thus it has the potential to reduce stress and enhance positivity for expecting mothers. Thus, they construct a moderated mediation model to explain leisure reading’s indirect effects upon prenatal attachment. Liu, Jia, and Wang (2022) in “Yoga leisure and identity development of Chinese second-time mothers” note that while China adopted a universal two-child policy in 2016, Chinese second-time mothers experience challenges balancing family, career, and other life dimensions. Thus, they explore the role of yoga leisure in helping these mothers cope with these challenges and to reduce identity conflicts. The subsequent two papers concern widowhood and tragedy in the lives of women. Standridge, Dunlop, Kleiber, and Aday (2022), in a paper titled “Widowhood and leisure: An exploration of leisure’s role in coping and finding a new self,” report on in-depth interviews with 13 widows concerning their leisure activities as they adapted to the new reality of being a single woman. Leisure activities were sought out for changing needs (e.g., support, companionship, and distraction), to provide connections with women in similar circumstances, and as a means of personal evolution.

This study examined the effects of participation in enjoyable activities and the experience of uplifting events on individuals' momentary positive affect (PA) and tested for age differences in these effects. 176 adults (ages 25-66) completed ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) 5 times per day for 14 days. We found that individuals reported higher levels of PA at times when an uplifting event had occurred compared to times when an uplifting event had not occurred (p < 0.05), and this association was amplified among those who participated less frequently in enjoyable activities (p < 0.05). The moderating effect of participation in enjoyable activities was invariant across the sample's age range. The findings demonstrated that individuals who habitually participated in enjoyable activities experienced higher levels of PA in everyday life. In contrast, individuals who infrequently or never engaged in enjoyable activities depended upon recent uplifting events to experience higher levels of PA.

Abstract Corporate leisure welfare (CLW) has become a widely adopted human resource management practice within companies. However, the relationship between CLW and employee burnout (EB) still lacks the necessary theoretical exploration and empirical evidence. Following the leisure on work (L-O-W) paradigm of leisure and work research, this study constructs a theoretical model based on effort-recovery theory and conservation of resources (COR) theory and then uses the propensity matching method (PSM), path analysis, bootstrap mediation and moderating effect tests to analyze the data. The results of the study indicate a significant mitigating effect of CLW provided by companies on EB. The benefits of leisure play an obvious mediating role in the relationship between CLW and EB. At the same time, there is a significant negative moderating effect of employee satisfaction with CLW on the process of mitigating EB.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of a newly proposed scale, the Sport Facilitators in Later Life Scale (SFLLS). Based on empirical work, the authors developed a 30-item scale to measure middle-aged and older adults’ recreational sport facilitators, including items on municipal parks- and recreation-based facilitators. Among a national sample of 1207 adults aged 50 and older, factor analysis supported a three-factor structure of intrapersonal, interpersonal, and structural facilitators, with interpersonal facilitators as the principal factor. Alpha coefficients indicated good reliability of the subscales and total scale. Measurement invariance tests using multigroup CFA indicated strict scale equivalence by age, gender, education, retirement status, and leisure-time physical activity (LTPA). Significant correlations and regressions provided further support for the validity of the scale. Additional scale refinement and psychometric testing should be undertaken to determine generalizability.
