Regarding life satisfaction, previous findings concerning the contribution of Extraversion (r = .49), low Neuroticism (r = -.44), Agreeableness (r = .29), and Conscientiousness ( r = .38) to life satisfaction were replicated. Interestingly, Openness to experience was significantly related to leisure satisfaction, but not to life satisfaction in this inquiry.

Pages : 104
Book Description
Abstract: The present investigation was designed to examine the relationships between leisure participation, leisure satisfaction, and life satisfaction in college students. The participants (N = 171) were freshman students at Springfield College, Massachusetts. Based on the demographic information provided by participants, 94 were male (55%) and 77 were female (45%). Of all the participants, 71 worked part time while attending school, and 100 did not work. The average age was 18. 5 for all. The Pearson product moment correlation coefficients were computed to determine the relationships between leisure participation, leisure satisfaction, and life satisfaction. A significant positive relationship was found between leisure participation and leisure satisfaction (HP =.005). No significant relationship existed between leisure participation and life satisfaction (p =.333). A significant positive relationship between leisure satisfaction and life satisfaction was found (p = .002). Although significant relationships were found between leisure participation and leisure satisfaction, and between leisure satisfaction and life satisfaction, the correlations were weak. Additional study is recommended to identify other factors that could be related to leisure and life satisfaction in college students.

Social Indicators of Well-Being
Author: Frank M. Andrews
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1468422537
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 462
Book Description
This is a study about perceptions of well-being. Its purpose is to investigate how these perceptions are organized in the minds of different groups of American adults, to find valid and efficient ways of measuring these percep tions, to suggest ways these measurement methods could be implemented to yield a series of social indicators, and to provide some initial readings on these indicators; i.e., some information about the levels of well-being perceived by Americans. The findings are based on data from more than five thousand Americans and include results from four separate representative samplings of the American population. One of the ways our research is unusual is that it includes a major methodological component. Typical surveys involve a modest effort at instru ment development, the application of the instrument to a group of respondents, and an analysis of the resulting data that mainly describes the people studied. Our work, however, was implemented in a series of sequential cycles, each of which consisted of conceptual development, instrument design, data collection, analysis, and interpretation. Ideas and findings generated in prior cycles affected the design of subsequent cycles.

The Psychology of Quality of Life
Author: M. Joseph Sirgy
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030718883
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 804
Book Description
The third, thoroughly revised and enhanced edition of this bestselling book analyses and discusses the most up-to-date research on the psychology of quality of life. The book is divided into six parts. The introductory part lays the philosophical and academic foundation of much of the research on wellbeing and positive mental health, showing the beneficial effects of happy people at work, health, and to society at large. Part 2 (effects of objective reality) describes how sociocultural factors, income factors, other demographic factors, and biological and health conditions affect wellbeing and positive mental health. Part 3 focuses on subjective reality and discusses how individuals process information from their objective environment, and how they manipulate this information that affects wellbeing and positive mental health. Part 4 focuses on the psychology of quality of life specific to life domains, while Part 5 reviews the research on special populations: children, women, the elderly, but also the disabled, drug addicts, prostitutes, emergency personnel, immigrants, teachers, and caregivers. The final part of the book focuses on theories and models of wellbeing and positive mental health that integrate and unify disparate concepts and programs of research. The book addresses the importance of the psychology of quality of life in the context of public policy and calls for a broadening of the approach in happiness research to incorporate other aspects of quality of life at the group, community, and societal levels. It is of topical interest to academics, students and researchers of quality of life, well-being research, happiness studies, psychotherapy, and social policy.

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 624
Book Description
The second edition will be an update and further elaboration of the literature related to subjective well-being, happiness, and life satisfaction. It will have a new substantial section that focuses on reviewing much of the literature of subjective well-being within specific life domains (social life, material life, leisure life, work life, community life, spiritual life, family life, health life, sex life, travel life, etc.) In the 1st edition the research in these various life domains was discussed only briefly. The second edition will maintain the same organizational structure of the first edition; that is, Part 1 will focus on introduction (definitions and distinctions; examples of measures of subjective well-being, happiness, and life satisfaction; and motives underlying subjective well-being). Part 2 will focus on psychological strategies that are allow people to optimize subjective well-being by engaging in psychological processes related to the relationship between and among life domains (e.g., social life, family life, love life, spiritual life, community life, financial life, etc.) This part will contain four chapters related to these various “inter-domain” processes: bottom-up spillover, top-down spillover, horizontal spillover, and compensation. Part 3 of the book will focus on “intra-domain” psychological strategies designed to optimize subjective well-being. These include re-evaluation based on personal history, re-evaluation based on self-concept, re-evaluation based on social comparison, goal selection, goal implementation and attainment, and re-appraisal. Part 4 of the book will focus on balance processes—how people attempt to create balance in their lives using psychological processes within specific life domains (intra-domain strategies) and processes that relate one domain to another (inter-domain strategies).

Pages : 126
Book Description
Spirituality is becoming a more recognized human dimension to assess individual growth, development, and life satisfaction. This increasing perspective of spirituality has enabled researchers to examine further how individuals and families utilize it in their everyday lives to achieve optimum levels of quality of life. This study relates leisure travel satisfaction to spirituality and personality types. The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between leisure travel satisfaction with (a) spirituality and (b) personality types. The spirituality dimension in this study was defined as seeking purpose and meaning in life to help individuals pursue a higher level of quality of life and overall life satisfaction. A questionnaire was developed to explore the relationships of leisure travel satisfaction with spirituality and with personality. It was distributed to 200 individuals who traveled between January 1, 2001 and December 31, 2003 and live or have lived in the Midwest city of Ames, Iowa, at their time of travel. The seven-part, self-administered survey asked participants to select their most recent leisure travel experience and to reflect it when answering all questions. Data analysis was conducted applying SPSS version 11.0, using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, multiple regression and factor analysis to identify the relationships among variables. Frequencies and percentages were applied to the demographic variables to provide a descriptive profile of survey respondents. The results of this research suggest that there is a relationship among leisure travel satisfaction, spirituality, and personality.

Book Description
Is it possible that Americans have more free time than they did thirty years ago? While few may believe it, research based on careful records of how we actually spend our time shows that we average more than an hour more free time per day than in the 1960s. Time-use experts John P. Robinson and Geoffrey Godbey received national attention when their controversial findings were first published in 1997. Now the book is updated, with a new chapter that includes results of the 1995&–1997 data from the Americans' Use of Time Project. &“Time for Life, an outstanding work of scholarship that manages to be highly readable, demands the attention of everyone interested in what&’s happening in today&’s society.&” &—Edward Cornish, The Futurist &“Time for Life . . . is excellent fodder for lively classroom discussions, not only about family time use, but about the ontological and epistemological assumptions in the prevailing post-positivist paradigm of family science.&” &—Alan J. Hawkins and Jeffrey Hill, Journal of Marriage and the Family &“Regardless of where you stand on this issue, Robinson and Godbey's arguments and data make for very interesting reading and open a cultural window on American society. . . . This is a piece of scholarship that should be read and its conclusions contemplated by people well outside the readership of this journal. . . . Time for Life is good social science research that should appeal to a broad audience.&” &—Journal of Communication
