Abstract Participation in leisure activities has been broadly shown to have positive impacts on immigrant integration. Hosting Friends and Relatives (HFR) is a highly contextual leisure activity that encourages immigrants to explore their new communities, and helps them forge connections and attachments between old and new worlds. This study surveyed 2,201 panel respondents from Toronto, Canada on their touristic leisure activities while hosting. Findings show that recently-arrived immigrant hosts visit more attractions and areas of their community, and are more likely to be participating in these experiences for the first time than other resident hosts. These results provide quantitative support for the notion, as established through previous qualitative research, that hosting can be a mechanism that pushes immigrants to engage in touristic leisure in their new communities, thereby strengthening place attachment and integration.

Abstract When individuals engage in social contexts such as attending a college basketball game, opportunities to enrich and broaden social connections with others often transpire. The University of Notre Dame Women’s Basketball (NDWB) program has a comparably larger and more loyal fan base than most universities in the country, of which older women comprise a big portion of season ticket holders. The purpose of this study was to investigate the motivations and meanings of being a NDWB season ticket holder among older women. Nineteen participants ages 55–85 years old completed individual interviews. The findings indicated that being season ticket holders fostered a strong sense of identification with the team, allowing them to have a sense of pride of being part of the program. Additionally, being season ticket holders enabled the older women to enhance their social contacts and friendships with other women that fostered a sense of community.

Abstract This paper explores the associations between the perceived physical and the corresponding psychological benefits of yoga leisure. Qualitative interviews with purposeful and snowball sampling methods were conducted to elicit 29 Chinese leisure participants who engaged in yoga with at least two years of yoga participation. The results reveal that respondents’ perceived physical benefit was associated with specific psychological benefit, demonstrating the embodied experience in yoga leisure where the body and the mind are connected. Specifically, (a) Breathing regulation enhances self-focus; (b) Sensory improvements promote self-awareness; (c) Better appearance strengthens self-confidence; (d) Completion of challenging asana (i.e., body postures) boosts self-efficacy; and (e) Body control improves self-control. Theoretically, this paper contributes to our understanding of the associations between the physical benefits and the corresponding psychological benefits of yoga leisure based on the experience of Chinese yoga participants. Practical implications have also been suggested.

Abstract This study examined the mediating roles of two types of passion in explaining the relationship between serious leisure (SL) and well-being. Using the Dualistic Model of Passion, harmonious passion (HP) indicates an adaptive psychological mechanism when one’s serious pursuit authentically expresses one’s identity, whereas obsessive passion (OP) derives from conflicted SL participation and thus inner and interpersonal conflicts are generated. Using survey data obtained from 145 collegiate sport club members, the findings showed that SL was positively associated with HP and OP. HP also fully mediated the relationships between SL and flourishing and sport club-studying balance. Our findings help explain the scattered and elusive evidence of dis-harmonized participation found in previous SL studies. On the other hand, when people can optimally transform activity values into a part of their identity, this mechanism helps people to perceive their life as meaningful and balanced.

Abstract This study uses social capital to explore the mechanisms by which consumer behavior in teahouses and cafes is associated with subjective well-being. A questionnaire survey (n = 767) was conducted in 2019. The results showed that conversations with other customers rather than with prearranged people were more associated with either bridging social capital, bonding social capital, or feeling social capital. Also, social capital generated in teahouses and cafes was associated with subjective well-being, with bridging social capital being more associated with interpersonal relationship satisfaction and subjective well-being than bonding social capital. This study considered interactions with acquaintances as well as other consumers and staff; and examined the relationship between various types of social capital and subjective well-being separately. This study provides scholars with a deeper understanding of social interactions in consumer spaces and their impact on intergroup relationships, and the role of leisure research in the development of social capital theory.

Abstract Due to the increasing prevalence of parental vaccine hesitancy or refusal, it is important to understand parental motives for vaccine hesitancy. This study examines social media conversations and commentaries regarding concerns about parenting, vaccine hesitancy, and the COVID-19 pandemic within an in-person leisure and recreation context: out-of-school time (OST) programs. A generative, probabilistic Bayesian machine learning model was used to analyze 31,925 tweets and group them into seven categories: Government, Feelings, School, Public Health, Christmas, Risk and Safety, and Families. As a result, recommendations for research and practice are discussed in connection to both OST programs and digital leisure, including a diverse range of vaccine hesitancy motivations related to children and parents, communication management strategies for OST professionals, and the impact of the politization of leisure in a digital leisure context.

Although this theme issue is being published in 2023 and I completed my term as Editorin-Chief of the Journal of Leisure Research at the end of 2022, the papers in this theme issue were selected for publication in this issue before my term as editor was completed. Perhaps it is appropriate that the last issue for which I was responsible for as Editor-in-Chief is a theme issue on leisure and COVID-19 as my term as editor approximated the period during which the COVID-19 pandemic was prevalent. When I agreed to be editor I was expecting and eagerly looking forward to attending and meeting in-person with the Journal of Leisure Research Associate Editors at the 2020 and 2021 National Recreation and Park Association congresses as well as The Academy of Leisure Sciences conferences in 2021 and 2022. Due to the pandemic, I did not attend these conferences in person because they were online, or hybrid in the case of the 2021 NRPA Congress, and thus our editorial board meetings were online. It was only during the very end of my term as editor that I was able to attend an inperson meeting with a few of the Associate Editors at the 2022 National Recreation and Park Association Congress. While the Journal of Leisure Research has previously published a few empirical papers on leisure and COVID-19 (Harris et al., 2022; Rice et al., 2022), this theme issue is the first Journal of Leisure Research issue entirely devoted to empirical studies on leisure and COVID-19. During my time as editor, I have observed more and more submissions from authors outside of North America and an increasing number of authors whose first language is not English. This theme issue is a good example as authors of five of the eight papers in this issue are associated with institutions outside of North American and only two of the eight first authors are native English speakers. The first two papers in this theme issue are concerned with leisure and well-being during the COVID-19 period. In the first paper Bae and Chang (2023) explored how changes in stress, anxiety about COVID-19, and leisure participation influenced middle-aged South Koreans’ well-being during two peaks of the pandemic in 2020. They found that participants’ leisure participation shifted from home leisure to outdoor leisure between the two waves of the pandemic. Furthermore, they discovered that participating in more outdoor leisure activities contributed to higher levels of well-being. The second paper by AymerichFranch (2023) explored the influence of COVID-19 on emotional well-being and its relationship to habit and routine modifications for a sample of Spanish adults. Compared to before the pandemic, participants perceived a decrease in positive affect and an increase in negative affect during the pandemic. Participants reported an increase in the following activities: media and social media consumption, reading, talking or doing activities with other people in the home, eating and sleeping, cooking and baking, and h

Abstract Fathers can play an essential role in their children’s development, including their physical, emotional, and social health, self-esteem, academic achievement, and resilience. Thus, fathers’ involvement with youth programs may play a significant role in a child’s life. The objectives of this study were to explore: (a) fathers’ perceptions of their role when it comes to their children’s participation in youth programs; and (b) youth program practitioners’ perceptions of roles that fathers play in youth’s engagement in youth programs. Employing the Big Three Model of positive youth development, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 fathers of youth (ages 7–14) participating in youth programs and six youth program practitioners. Several themes emerged from the data, including fathers as providers of love and support, fathers as role models of active lifestyle, fathers as builders of well-rounded children, fathers as resource providers, and fathers as distractors.

Abstract Participation in sports and other leisure activities can be an effective tool to enhance feelings of societal belongingness and inclusion among minority group members. Through a survey administered to 8,444 pupils, the present study compared minority pupils’ (Middle Eastern and Eastern European youth) and majority pupils’ involvement in a broad array of sport activities, other (non-sports) extracurricular leisure activities, and youth organizations. Corroborating previous research, our study revealed lower participation rates for minority (compared to majority) pupils for all categories of leisure activities under study. For sport activities, this gap was particularly pronounced for female (compared to male) pupils. Furthermore, school diversity had an invariable negative effect on participation rates in all activity categories. A noteworthy finding was that the difference in participation between majority and ethnic-cultural minority groups were sports dependent. We also obtained definite differences in participation rates between the Middle Eastern and Eastern European groups.
