The purpose of this study was to determine leisure motivations for college club swimmers in the United States, and to examine differences in motivation by swimmers' gender, university affiliation, ethnicity, and frequency of participation. College club swimmers from a nationwide sample completed the Leisure Motivation Scale (LMS) to assess the strength and differences of varying motivational factors for club swimming participation. Results indicated that social and competency-mastery motivational factors were the most important for this participatory group, and that motivational differences existed based upon respondent university affiliation, ethnicity (White/non-White) and frequency of participation.

This study commented on Utecht and Aldag's (1989) vacation-discrepancy study. We adapted Beard and Ragheb's 1983 leisure motivation scale to the study of vacations. Using a person's vacation as a frame of reference, prevacation expectations and postvacation satisfactions were studied in a convenience sample of 40 working adults and 146 college students. High (.80 and above) coefficient alphas were observed for the Beard and Ragheb scales of Intellectual, Social, Competence/Mastery, and Stimulus Avoidance as well as two additional motivation scales of Thrill-seeking and Work advantages. Difference-score reliabilities were estimated for the case where a discrepancy measure is formed for pre- versus postvacation referents; these were .80 or higher for all six measures. Results were discussed in terms of applying leisure constructs and measures to vacation research as well as the psychometric adequacy of the individual scale and discrepancy measures.

Theoretical substantiation. The article explores the recreational value and importance of working in human life, analysis of its association with human health and quality of life perception. Any human activity is motivated, so the analysis of effective leisure time, determined not only selected leisure activities, but also reveals the need for the factors, which determine the choice of such activities. The object of the survey was the choice of motivational factors in leisure. The aim of study was to assess the determining factors of leisure motivation of young working people Method. Organized research through a questionnaire based on L. G. Pelletier et al. (1991) leisure motivation scale. The sample consisted of 70 young working people from Kaunas city – 47 women and 23 men. The study investigated whether young working people have enough leisure time, what are its forms and conducting research to evaluate the disclosure of their health. In determining what are the key motivating factors behind the choice of leisure study comparing interpretations of gender and health research aspects of perception. The study data were processed on the basis of mathematical statistics Findings. The survey data suggests that young working people have more leisure time on weekends and often spends it passively (reading, watching television). Examination of the leisure motivation of the youth revealed that most strongly influenced by the choice of leisure internal motivation to experience stimulation, i. e., targeted to the inner satisfaction, enjoyable activities that stimulate feelings of certain associations. Youth groups, by gender dominated external motivation external regulation, external regulation motivation moved, the internal motivation to know, that is these groups of people belonging to an external reward or avoid an external punishment, reward or to avoid the inner interior penalty, to seek knowledge, explore, understand the relevant issues. The analysis of young people's perceptions of their health status and the motivation of leisure activities to those persons who are unable to assess their health status is at least apathetic choosing forms of leisure and are sufficiently strong and determined to knowing what is going. Those persons who believe that there is poor health status in the form of leisure for engaging external motivation identified regulation – they are important leisure activities, and results are or will be useful, but it does not feel the inner satisfaction.

The factors that motivate college students to participate in leisure activities play a key role in better understanding participation patterns in campus recreational sports. This study utilized the Leisure Motivation Scale developed by Beard and Ragheb (1983) to determine factors that motivated college students' leisure choices. The purpose of this study was to examine motivational differences in students who participated regularly in campus recreational sports and students who did not regularly participate in campus recreational sports. The sample consisted of 631 students from two universities. The results indicated that students who did not participate regularly in campus recreational sports were seeking rewards from their leisure such as rest, escape and solitude, as well as the opportunity to use their imagination and learn. Students who regularly participated in campus recreational sports revealed that they were motivated to participate because of physical activity, challenge, and competition. In addition, differences in gender and overall motivation for leisure participation were examined.

The present study aims to clarify the structure of adolescents' motivations in micro-blog use and develop the corresponding scale. The results show that: (1) Adolescents' motivation in using micro-blog contains 14 items which can be classified into four dimensions, namely Show-Extrication, Convenience-Communication, Information-Sociality, and Leisure-Expression. The scale is of good reliability and validity; (2) Girls' motivation is significantly higher than boys' in the dimensions of Show-Extrication, Convenience-Communication, and Information-Sociality, and in terms of Information-Sociality, the motivation of the second-year high school students are significantly higher than that of the first-year and third-year high school students.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding motivation for exercise can be helpful in improving levels of physical activity. The Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale (PALMS) measures distinct goal-oriented motivations. In this study selected measurement properties of the Dutch version (PALMS-D) are determined. Forward-backward translation was used for cross-cultural adaptation. Construct validity of the PALMS-D was assessed in five subsamples completing the PALMS-D and the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-3). The study population consisted of five samples recruited from different populations; samples consisted of runners, hockey players, soccer players, participants in medical fitness, and a sedentary group of young adults with low activity. A total of 733 participants completed the questionnaire: 562 athletes and 171 non-athletes. Exploratory for Analysis confirmed the original eight factors. Internal consistency of the subscales was high, except for Others’ expectations. The a priori determined hypotheses related to differences between athletes participating in different sports were confirmed, as well as the hypothesis related to differences between amateur athletes, patients in medical fitness, and non-active participants. It was concluded that the Dutch version of the PALMS is an acceptable questionnaire with which to evaluate the individual motivation of athletes in the Netherlands, and discriminates between different leisure athletes, patients in medical fitness, and non-active youths.

Despite its increased recognition among tourism planners and destination governments, a lacuna exists regarding the motivation of diaspora tourists travelling to a destination they regard as an ancestral homeland. Thus, in the current research, we seek to develop and validate a scale that measures the motivations of diaspora tourists. The result of a rigorous seven-stage scale development procedure generates a five-factor structure for diaspora tourists’ motivations. The scale is successfully verified through various reliability and validity tests. This multidimensional scale of diaspora tourist motivations contributes to our understanding of the nature of diaspora tourism.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding the motivation and satisfaction of yoga consumers is of critical importance for both leisure service providers and leisure researchers to enhance the sustainability of personal lives in terms of physical wellness and mental happiness. For this purpose, this study investigated 25,120 pairs of online ratings and reviews from 100 yoga centres in Shanghai, China using latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA)-based text mining, and successfully established the relationship between rating and review. Findings suggest that Chinese yogis are motivated by improving physical condition, improving psychological condition, gracing appearance, establishing social connection, and creating social isolation. In addition to teaching mainstream yoga, yoga centres also provide additional courses. From a consumer perspective, yogis are relatively satisfied with teachers, courses, and the environment, but complain about the supporting staff, membership price, and reservation service. Managerially, yoga centres are encouraged to continue attending to the motivations of yogis, specialising their guidance, and fostering strengths and circumventing weaknesses in their service. This study also contributes by verifying, elaborating on, and tentatively extending the framework of the Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale (PALMS).

Abstract This study was designed to reveal university students’ motivations for sport. A sample of 934 students (male: 47.4%; female: 52.6%) with different educational levels and fields of study were involved in our research. A revised and developed scale was employed for measuring the students’ motivation. Inferential and descriptive statistics were used to describe the differences in students’ motivations for sport. The results indicated that having fun and experiencing joy, maintaining physical and mental health, and having a fit body were rated most frequently as the students’ motivations for sport; whereas spending leisure time, being with friends, and participating in competitions were found as the lowest motivational dimensions. Furthermore, various motivational differences could be observed between students regarding their gender, age, educational level, and field of study. In conclusion, it is suggested that preparing special plans based on the students’ different motivations and on their special needs for sport could improve their participation rate in sporting activities.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, we examined differences in leisure motivation on the basis of the type of campus recreational activity in which a student was engaged. Specifically, campus recreational activities included aquatics, group fitness, intramural sports, informal sports, and informal fitness. The Leisure Motivation Scale (Beard and Ragheb, 1983) was completed by subjects after they engaged in a campus recreation activity. A 95% confidence level was established a priori, but a Bonferroni adjustment resulted in α ≤ .0015. Results from an analysis of variance indicated differences between activity type. Subjects engaged in informal sports were less motivated by competency/mastery factors than those engaged in other campus recreation activities. In addition, stimulus avoidance was a less predominant motivator in subjects participating in intramural sports than in those involved in other types of programs. These results suggest that students engaged in different activities are motivated by different factors and have implications for campus recreation programmers and marketers as they design programs.

Full textAbstract:
This paper reports on a global survey of Millennial travellers aged 18-35 and analyses motivations across world regions and countries. An adapted version of the Leisure Motivations Scale was subjected to factor analysis, revealing four dimensions of motivation: Relaxation, Exploring, Challenge and Socialising. All Millennials tend to see exploring as most important, but Asian travellers in particular emphasise both relaxation and challenge. Motivations were also found to vary according to age and destination, indicating that motivations are not just individual, but also context-related. We conclude that Millennials are not a coherent global generation in terms of travel motivations.

The clear decline in the practice of physical activity (PA) in contemporary society has well-documented problematic consequences in public health. It has led to a clear investment of research efforts in the attempt to identify the psychological constructs associated with health behaviors such as PA, in particular, the motivation that leads people to adopt these behaviors. In this context, the objective of the present study is to present a suggestion of a Portuguese version of the Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale (PALMS), denominated PALMS-p. This instrument evaluates the reasons for the practice of PA. The psychometric qualities of the instrument were evaluated in a sample of 234 participants (86 males, 148 females) who practiced different PA in a recreational context. Confirmatory factorial analysis confirmed the factorial robustness of the PALMS-p (χ2/df = 2.010 comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.950, goodness of fit index (GFI) = 0.855, Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) = 0.939 root-mean-square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.021, P(RMSEA ≤ 0.05) < 0.001), and the results show that this version presents good internal consistency. The present study corroborates the fidelity and validity of PALMS-p as a motivation measure for the practice of PA in the Portuguese population.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Augmenting employees’ commitment is of important interest to hospitality managers, particularly in the branded restaurant industry where the workforce is often transient. This paper aims to identify and analyse if levels of personal motivation and flow are drivers of commitment, and if the relationship between the variables is moderated by length of service, age and gender. Design/methodology/approach The study is a large-scale empirical investigation of hospitality staff in the UK branded restaurants through 1,133 survey responses, measuring levels of personal motivation, flow and commitment, as well as the moderating effects of multi-group differences among age, gender and length of service. Partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) is used for analysis of data. Findings Using PLS-SEM found personal motivation to be important in determining employees’ level of flow and, in turn, employees’ commitment. Using multi group analysis, results revealed that relationship among personal motivation, flow and commitment played superior role for older employees and working for a long time in a hospitality organisation than those younger and working less than five years. No significant differences between male and female staff are found. Research limitations/implications Through finding flow and personal motivations to be drivers of commitment, branded restaurant practitioners can focus on emphasising these elements in their employees to increase commitment. Further, part-time roles are often taken by people likely to be non-committal in their job needs, e.g. students funding their studies. By focussing on extending lengths of service to meet the optimum years identified, managers can fortify their businesses. Originality/value The paper is one of few large-scale quantitative studies to examine personal motivation, flow and commitment in the context of UK branded restaurants. It identifies that employees exhibit higher levels of commitment through intrinsic values over time, and establishes relationships between the constructs of flow, personal motivation and commitment.

AbstractThis study aims to examine the motivational factors that direct individuals to computer games in the process of evaluating leisure activities. The study is designed in descriptive and relational survey models, which are among the quantitative research patterns. A total of 1677 individuals participated in the study. A personal information form and the Computer Gaming Motivation Scale were used. An independent sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation test were used to analyze the data. According to the results, there were significant differences in the concentration, entertainment, escape, learning, and socialization sub-dimensions of the participants in favor of the groups playing in Internet cafes. The findings indicate that when more time is spent with information and communication technologies, there is a decrease in concentration and an increase in entertainment and escape. Furthermore, when the relationship between the sub-dimensions of the scale was examined, positively moderate and high correlations were found among concentration, entertainment, escape, learning, and socialization. As a result, rapid technological changes and developments provide many opportunities for individuals. It is thought that individuals’ busy work lives and monotonous daily routines cause them to prefer easily accessible activities during their leisure time.

Full textAbstract:
Future teachers will have to develop the reading habit in their students, as this is an essential factor in schoolchildren. The lack of reading motivation among young people and the need to have it in order to transmit it has been evidenced. Young people often prefer to spend their leisure time using alcohol and other drugs rather than reading books for pleasure. The factors that influence reading motivation are varied, but the objective of this research work focuses on establishing the relationship between reading motivation and the problematic use of alcohol and other drugs in future teachers of Preschool and Primary Education. A total of 178 subjects among university students were recruited (56.6% girls). The ages ranged from 18 to 34 (M = 21.59, SD = 3.52). The first scale used was the MULTICAGE CAD-4 for behavioral addiction together with a Scale for Characterizing Motivation for Academic Reading (EMLA). The results of the study indicate that those young people who were more involved in the consumption of alcohol and drugs had a lower reading habit. Likewise, the study also reveals significant mean differences in reading motivation based on gender and age. This shows the need to enact healthy habits from the university related to increasing reading motivation and promoting the reading habit in future teachers.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to translate and adapt the physical activity and leisure motivation scale (PALMS) into Spanish, and to analyse its validity and reliability. The sample comprised 867 adolescents, with a mean age of 14.04 ± 1.19 years, 53.9% of whom were male. During the translation process, some of the items in the instrument were modified slightly, improving its comprehensibility. On the other hand, the exploratory factor analysis did not present an adequate factor structure, so a more in-depth analysis was carried out, using item response theory and confirmatory factor analysis; the conclusion was that it would be appropriate to eliminate several items from the scale. From this, a final shortened version, consisting of 25 items, was produced, with adequate fit indices—CFI = 0.933, TLI = 0.918, SRMR = 0.042, RMSEA = 0.052 (90% CI 0.048; 0.056)—and good reliability for each of the dimensions, ranging from 0.625 to 0.835. It can be concluded that the abbreviated version of the PALMS instrument, adapted for Spanish adolescents (PALMS-e), is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing their motives for doing physical activity.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Considering the difficulties in stopping smoking, this article aimed to identify factors relating to failure of attempts to quit smoking among smokers who sought care at an outpatient clinic in a general university hospital. DESIGN AND SETTING: Prospective cohort study evaluating 100 smokers who sought treatment at the Psychoactive Substances Outpatient Clinic. METHODS: The variables gathered were sociodemographic factors; degree of dependence (Fagerström questionnaire); stage of motivation for change (University of Rhode Island Change Assessment Scale); and presence of depression and anxiety (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale). The patients were followed up after 4, 8, 12 and 24 weeks to identify factors relating to failure to quit smoking. RESULTS: The patients were mostly women (75%), between 40 and 59 years of age (67%); with incomplete elementary education (60%); with leisure activities (57%); suffering from tobacco-related disease (53%); with previous attempts to quit smoking (70%); with a medical recommendation to stop (51%); with encouragement to stop (66%); and with a high degree of dependence (78%). The main motivational stage was contemplation/action (43%); the anxiety rate was 64% and the depression rate was 39%. The quitting rate was 66% among adherents and 17% among non-adherents (P < 0.001). Lack of success was correlated with absence of leisure, higher education and absence of tobacco-related disease. CONCLUSION: The variables of lack of leisure activities, higher education and/or lack of tobacco-related disease correlated with failure to quit smoking among smokers who sought treatment at an outpatient clinic in a tertiary general hospital.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to identify the motivating factors that influence repeat participation among university student volunteers at a world-renowned food festival. The direct and indirection relationship (through attitude toward volunteering) was tested. Additionally, the moderating role of class standing between student volunteers' motivations, attitudes and repeat volunteer intention was assessed.Design/methodology/approachResearchers applied a quantitative methodology to data collected after the festival volunteering experience. The research team collected 205 useable surveys from university student volunteers at the Food Network and Cooking Channel South Beach Wine and Food Festival (SOBEWFF®). Structural equation modeling was used to test the relationships among volunteer motivations, attitude toward volunteering and intention to continue volunteering. Lastly, a multiple-group analysis was applied to test the moderating role of class standing.FindingsThe results showed the motivating factors purposive, personal enrichment and family traditions were significant in predicting attitude toward volunteering. These motivations did not significantly affect intention to continue volunteering; thus researchers found only an indirect relationship (through attitude toward volunteering) between volunteering motivations and intention to continue volunteering. Additionally, a positive attitude toward volunteering resulted in an intention to continue volunteering. Lastly, testing the moderating role of class standing revealed significant results on three pathways, indicating that students are motivated to volunteer differently based upon class standing (freshman through junior vs. senior, graduate).Research limitations/implicationsThe data were collected prior to COVID-19, and the ways in which COVID-19 has impacted the events industry and the scape of future events are yet to be determined.Practical implicationsFestival organizers and managers should appeal to different motivations of potential student volunteers depending on their class standing. For example, results of the moderator “class standing” indicated that the relationship between personal enrichment motivation and attitude toward volunteering was strongest and significant among freshmen, sophomores and juniors, but insignificant among seniors and graduate students. Thus, freshmen through juniors are more highly motivated to obtain practical experiences, and this motivation results in a positive attitude toward volunteering.Originality/valueThis study tests the moderating role of class standing to help predict intention to continue volunteering at a special event. The research is further unique by extending an understanding of the validity and reliability of the special events volunteer motivations scale.

We examine the relationship of hope with exercise using Snyder’s hope model, which defines hope as a combination of goal-directed planning (pathways) and motivation (agency). We surveyed 102 participants online via Amazon MTurk. The Adult Hope Scale and Goal-Specific Hope Scale assessed general hope and hope regarding exercise. The Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire assessed frequency of exercise and of any activity “long enough to work up a sweat.” We also measured optimism, exercise self-efficacy, depression, anxiety, and stress. Because hope emphasizes planning and motivation (both likely needed in fitness regimens), we expected it to relate to exercise frequency after controlling for these other variables. Indeed, exercise goal-specific hope was correlated with frequency of exercise and activity long enough to sweat, though general hope was not. This relationship held after controlling for all other variables. Future research may be useful in investigating causality, including whether hope-based interventions result in increased exercise engagement.

En cualquier área de la enseñanza es reconocida la importancia que tiene que los alumnos están motivados. Pero para ello hacen falta profesores que motiven y actuaciones docentes que provoquen este estado en los estudiantes. El apoyo a la autonomía puede ser clave para mejorar la motivación en los discentes, así como un indicador para buscar otras mejoras en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido analizar la importancia que puede tener el apoyo a la autonomía en el alumno (tanto en su aprendizaje como en la adquisición de hábitos) y ejemplificar el diseño, metodología y posibles análisis a realizar para responder a los objetivos planteados. Para ello se utilizará una muestra de 758 alumnos (347 hombres, 45.8%; 411 mujeres, 54.2%) de secundaria de la Región de Murcia, con edades comprendidas entre 12 y 18 años (M = 15.22; SD = 1.27). El instrumento a utilizar será un cuestionario compuesto por las escalas: Learning Climate Quetionarire (LCQ), Sport Motivation Scale (SMS), Intention to partake in leisure-time physical activity (Intención-PFTL), Escala de Satisfacción Intrínseca hacia la Educación Física (SSI-EF) y la escala de Importancia y utilidad de la Educación Física (IEF). Los posibles resultados podrán mejorar y discutir muchos de los trabajos ya existentes y aportar nuevas orientaciones que sirvan al profesorado para mejorar su actuación docente.Palabras clave: apoyo a la autonomía; motivación; educación física.Abstract: In any area of education it is recognized how important is that students are motivated. But this requires teachers who motivate and actions that cause this state on students. The autonomy support may be the key to improve the motivation of learners, as well as an indicator to search for other improvements in the teaching-learning process. The aim of this study was to analyze the potential importance of supporting autonomy in students (both in learning and in the acquisition of habits) and exemplify the design, methodology and analysis to make possible to get the objectives. This will draw a sample of 758 high school students (347 men, 45.8%; 411 women, 54.2%) of the Region of Murcia, aged between 12 and 18 (M = 15.22, SD = 1.27). The instrument to be used is a questionnaire consisting of scales: Learning Climate Quetionarire (LCQ), Sport Motivation Scale (SMS), Intention to partake in leisure-time physical activity (Intention-PFTL), Sport Satisfaction Instrument to Physical Education (SSI-EF) and the scale of Importance and usefulness of Physical Education (IEF). Possible results may improve and discuss many of the existing work and provide further guidance to be used for teachers to improve their teaching performance.Key words: autonomy support; motivation; physical education.

Full textAbstract:
It is important to understand what motivates members from a specific community to attend sports events. The objective of this study was to determine the factors that motivate students at a university of technology to attend Varsity Football matches at the university’s main stadium. Twelve items of the fan motivation questionnaire relating to fan attendance at college soccer matches in the USA were adopted in this study. A principal component factor analysis with varimax rotation was performed on Likert scale data gathered from 329 respondents. Items clustered into three factors, namely enjoyment, friendship and relaxation, fandom, and belonging and self-esteem. The instrument used in this study had acceptable validity and reliability. The value of the research results from this study confirms the following: Promotional campaigns to draw students to Varsity Football matches should focus on excitement and emotions because attendance is motivated by the vibe at the stadium and to spend time with their friends. The university should build the brand of the football team. A vibrant crowd at a Varsity Football match provides advantages to the sponsors of the events, it contributes to the image of the university, and it contributes to the viewing experience of the television audience that watches the matches. The results confirm that event sponsors, organisers and host universities should understand the motivational factors that attract fans to attend football matches.

Elite Young Team Players' Coping, Motivation and Perceived Climate MeasuresThe purpose of this study was to compare and contrast coping skills, motivational profiles and perceived climate in elite young ice hockey, soccer, water polo and volleyball players. It was also our aim to examine how male and female athletes differ in the above mentioned psychometric measures. Men's soccer (n=23) and ice hockey (n=20), and also women's volleyball (n=15) and water polo (13) players ranged in age from 16 to 18 years (M age=17.17, SD=.85). Each team was a finalist in last year's national championship for their age group. The instruments used in this study included the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire-2 (PMCSQ-2), The Sport Motivation Scale (SMS), and the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28 (ACSI-28). Cooperative learning does not tend to be high, as one would expect in elite team players. Ice hockey and soccer players usually had higher psychometric measures than water polo and volleyball players. Also, male athletes demonstrate better ACSI-28, PMCSQ-2, and SMS measures than their female counterparts in many of the variables. Amotivation seems to be the most important decisive factor both among team sports and male and female participants. Also, our results prove that there are major differences between young elite male and female team players, so coaches' work in most aspects of their work should be gender-specific. Coaches of youth teams have to understand the motivational factors and coping strategies their athletes demonstrate in order to optimally organize and plan the teaching-learning process in their exercises, especially focus on cooperative task-solving exercises.

The purpose of this study was (a) to test a hypothesized model of motivation within the context of conceptual physical education (CPE), and (b) to explore the strength and directionality of perceived competence for physical activity as a possible mediator for health-related fitness knowledge (HRFK) and physical activity behaviors. High school students (N = 280) at the end of a CPE course completed the following: Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire–2, Godin Leisure–Time Exercise Questionnaire, Perceived Competence Scale, and a HRFK Questionnaire. Structural equation modeling analysis was used to explore the relationships between the variables of HRFK, perceived competence, motivation, and physical activity. The analysis resulted in a modified model that showed a relationship between perceived competence and physical activity, mediated by introjected and identified regulation. A relationship also existed between HRFK and external regulation indicating students felt controlled. Suggested value-promoting activities could help students value concepts being taught.

Full textAbstract:
Low-intensity qigong exercise has been suggested as an alternative to more vigorous exercise when striving for health benefits. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether self-determined motivation and perceived stress are related to concentration during exercise, and to the amount of exercise carried out. Leisure-time qigong exercisers ( n = 279) were assessed by using the Sport Motivation Scale, Stress and Energy Scale, and by self-rated Concentration. Exercise sessions per week, Session time, and ability to Set a time for exercise, and perceived Disturbance during exercise were also recorded. Participants who were in a Calm energy mood (low-stress, high-energy, able to set a time for exercise), displayed an increased Concentration on qi-flow ( R 2 = 0.13) during exercise. An elevated stress-level correlated negatively with Health, Energy, Concentration, Sessions per week, Session time, Sessions performed during the previous week, ability to Set a time for exercise, and feeling Undisturbed during exercise (all p < 0.01). Intrinsic motivation was positively correlated with Concentration (0.24, p < 0.01) and negatively correlated with Stress (-0.19, p < 0.05). Individuals who adhere to a regular qigong exercise regimen are more intrinsically motivated, less stressed, and more concentrated while exercising than those who do not adhere to a regular regime. This suggests that health-professionals need to be aware of these factors when prescribing qigong exercise for health benefits.

Full textAbstract:
Most studies on motivation to work concentrate on its environmental and situational antecedents. Individual values are not the point of interest of empirical analyses. The aim of the research described in the paper was to seek possible relationships between work ethic and motivation to work. A hypothesis was put forward that work ethic, in the classical Weberian approach, is connected with motivation to work, from the point of view of Ryan’s and Deci’s self-determination theory. The study on a sample of 405 Polish employees was conducted with use of the Polish version of Multidimensional Work Ethic Profile MWEP-PL and Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scale, in the Polish adaptation WEIMS-PL. The Canonical Correlation Analysis was used to assess the simultaneous interrelationships between two sets of the variables measured. The results show that selected dimensions of work ethic, such as centrality of work, valuing hard work, perceiving work as an obligation, anti-leisure sentiment and delay of gratification are positively related to autonomous dimensions of motivation: intrinsic motivation, integration and identification, and non-autonomous introjection. Attributing a high value to hard work, including the conviction that it leads to success, aversion to wasting time and self-reliance correlate positively with taking up work for extrinsic rewards and with the desire to acquire a positive opinion about oneself as well as gain approval and recognition from others. Work ethic is connected on the one hand with autonomous motivation, including in particular intrinsic motivation, and on the other hand with extrinsic motivation, with the striving for success, which is the result of work. After empirical verification the findings could become a base for training programs and shape the way of influencing people’s motivation, morale, attitude towards work and job satisfaction. They can result in the way employees are managed and selected for different tasks.

Value research has great potentials in understanding tourist motivation and behavior. Although it was unlikely that the market for any particular product could be segmented on the basis of value systems alone, marketers could gain a better understanding of consumers by incorporating values into their research with such traditional variables as demographics and preferences. The current study examined the relationship between tourists’ value systems depicted by Kahle’s List of Values (LOV) and tourists’ travel novelty dimensions revealed by the International Tourist Role (ITR) Scale. The study revealed five value systems of U.S. outbound leisure travelers in the sample. It further demonstrated that a causal relationship between values, attitudes and behaviors of consumers also existed in a tourism context.

Full textAbstract:
The many devastating mental health outcomes associated with chronic loneliness is the motivation behind research into examining personal and demographic characteristics of the lonely. The present study sought to examine the connection of where people live (degree of urbanization) and what people do (leisure activities) with self-report of loneliness in a large sample (N = 8356) of unrelated Dutch adults. Information regarding where people live and what they do in their leisure time was entered into a regression analysis for self-reported loneliness. The overall regression was significant and accounted for 2.8% of the loneliness scale scores. Significant independent predictors for loneliness were living in heavily urbanized areas and engaging in fewer social activities. People who went sightseeing or to amusement parks/zoos or who participated in clubs reported being less lonely. Spending time using a computer predicted higher self-report loneliness scores. Consistent with previous research, after controlling for other variables, gender was not a significant predictor of loneliness but both a younger age and a curvilinear or U-shaped curve of age predicted loneliness (the younger and the much older). The results suggest that meaningful interpersonal interactions may result in lower feelings of loneliness.

AbstractThe objective of the current study was the investigation of anxiety and satisfaction levels among Elite Greek Youth athletes of Canoe-Kayak Sprint. Additionally, whether elements such as gender, age, athletic experience, and weekly practice-time, differentiated the sample. 122 athletes, (61 males and 61 females) between the ages of 15-17 yrs. old, who competed in the Hellenic Federation’s Canoe-Kayak Sprint National Championships. Study participants were invited to complete two questionnaires: a) the Greek version of “CSAI-2” (Stavrou, Zervas, Kakkos, & Psichoundaki, 1998), and b) the Greek version of the “Athlete Satisfaction” scale (Bebetsos & Theodorakis, 2003). Results of the conducted study revealed that the sample differentiated: a) on somatic, and cognitive anxiety, according to their athletic experience, and b) on somatic, and cognitive anxiety, self-confidence, leadership, and personal outcome, according to their weekly practice-time. Finally, no sex differences were found in any questionnaire variable. In conclusion, the survey results highlighted the importance of the psychological factors tested on Canoe-Kayak Sprint athletes’ performance. Knowing and understanding athletes’ psychological state, can help them out (the athletes) in identifying aspects such as stress and satisfaction that directly affect their racing performance.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse whether and how the website atmosphere (WA) of a shopping centre affects the behavioural loyalty of customers towards physical shopping centres. A mediating variable – individual shopper motivation – is considered in assessing this relationship. Design/methodology/approach The research hypotheses were tested using a partial least squares – path modelling approach to structural equation modelling on a sample population of 438 individuals. Findings Online atmospherics, particularly concerning the social/relational attributes of the WA, positively affect the behavioural loyalty of customers towards physical shopping centres. Moreover, recreational motivations strengthen this relationship more than functional motivations do. Research limitations/implications The sample investigated is limited with regard to diversity, age and gender. Future research can use a more representative sample to improve the findings’ relevance and generalisation. Also the development of a scale of measures for the shopping centre customers’ motivations is worthy of interest in future studies. Practical implications Recognising the importance of web atmospherics’ significant impact on customer loyalty should encourage shopping centre managers to develop effective website and online communication programmes. Originality/value Extant studies have paid little attention to the relationship between WA and customer loyalty to the physical shopping centre. This study investigates this relationship, combining the online and offline perspective into an overall research approach. Moreover, it contributes to the research on website management in the shopping centre context by providing a comprehensive analysis of WA, whereas previous studies have mainly focussed on one or a few atmospherics.

The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between free time motivation and happiness level of students in recreation department according to some demographic variables. 150 (103 men and 47 women) people studying at Bartın University School of Physical Education and Sports Recreation Department participated in the research. As a data collection tool, the personal information form of the candidates, “Leisure Motivation Scale: LMS” and “Oxford Happiness Scale Short Form” were applied. In the analysis of the data; according to the demographic characteristics of the participants, t-test and ANOVA to investigate the differences between levels of leisure motivation and happiness; Pearson Correlation test and Multiple Linear Regression Analysis was applied to examine relations between variables. In the findings of the research; there was no significant difference in the t-test results according to the “gender” variable in the LMS and happiness total score avarages (p>0,05). There was no significant relationship between LMS and happiness total score averages according to “age” variables in the correlation test results (p>0,05). There was no significant difference between LMS and happiness total score average according to the variables of “income and daily free time” in ANOVA test results. There was no statistically significant relationship between participants’ leisure motivation and happiness (p>0,05). On the other hand, there is a moderate positive relationship were found between happiness and free time motivation in sub-dimensions of knowing and achieving, stimulating life; low level negative relationship were found in the subscales of identity/inference, external regulation (p<0,05). As a result of multiple linear regression analysis; unmotivated, knowing and achieving, stimulating life, identity/inference, external regulation and gender variables together have a significant effect (R = 0,561; R2 = 0,315) on happiness (F(6-143) = 10,945; p<0,05). When the significance tests of the regression coefficients are considered, it is seen that only the free time motivation sub dimensions of knowing and achieving (p<0,05) and stimulating life (p<0,05) are significant predictors on happiness.

Korelasyon testi sonuçlarında “yaş” değişkenine göre BZMÖ ve mutluluk ölçeği toplam puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır (p>0,05). ANOVA testi sonuçlarında “gelir ve günlük serbest zaman süresi” değişkenlerine göre BZMÖ ve mutluluk ölçeği toplam puanlarında anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmemiştir (p>0,05). Katılımcıların serbest zaman motivasyonunun mutluluk ile ilişkisi incelendiğinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmemiştir (p>0,05). Buna karşılık mutluluk ile serbest zaman motivasyonunun bilmek ve başarmak, uyaran ve yaşama alt boyutlarında orta düzeyde pozitif bir ilişki; özdeşim içe atım, dışsal düzenleme alt boyutlarında düşük düzeyde negatif bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir (p<0,05). Çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi sonucunda; motivasyonsuzluk, bilmek ve başarmak, uyaran ve yaşama, özdeşim/içe atım, dışsal düzenleme ve cinsiyet değişkenleri birlikte mutluluk üzerinde anlamlı bir etki (R = 0,561; R2 = 0,315) sergilemişlerdir (F(6-143) = 10,945; p<0,05). Regresyon katsayılarının anlamlılık testleri göz önüne alındığında yordayıcı değişkenlerden yalnızca bilmek ve başarmak (p<0,05) ve uyaran ve yaşama (p<0,05) serbest zaman motivasyonu alt boyutlarının mutluluk üzerinde anlamlı yordayıcı olduğu görülmektedir.

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.The purpose of this study is to examine the theoretical relationships among the variables of leisure exercise efficacy, leisure exercise motives, leisure exercise barriers, and leisure exercise behaviors of university students using the social cognitive theory as a framework. The Model of University Students' Leisure Exercise Behaviors (MUSLEB) was hypothesized before data collection to investigate the theoretical relationships among the variables. Initially, a total of 331 university students were recruited for this study. Data were collected on two occasions using measuring instruments that included the Leisure Exercise Efficacy Scale, the Motivation for Physical Activities Measure-Revised, the Leisure Exercise Barrier Questionnaire, and the Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire. Participants were classified into Physical Education and Non Physical Education groups to examine their differences in leisure exercise behaviors. As no significant difference was found on the leisure exercise behaviors between the two groups at the end of the semester, all the participants were pooled to test the hypothesized model (n=172). The hypothesized model was found to be acceptable with x2 / df = 1.85, CFI = .98 and RMSEA= .07. However, in an attempt to test a more parsimonious model, all non-significant paths were removed from the model and a re-specified MUSLEB was analyzed again. The re-specified model provided evidences (x2 / df = 1.39，CFI = .98 and RMSEA = .05) that this was tenable and more parsimonious than the hypothesized model. Path analysis results showed that leisure exercise efficacy was found to be a significant and direct predictor of leisure exercise behaviors 3 months after the commencement of the semester. As hypothesized, positive and significant relationships were found between leisure exercise efficacy and leisure exercise motives. However, contrary to expectation, a positive significant effect between post 3-month leisure exercise efficacy and post 3-month leisure exercise barriers was observed. The investigators suggested the evidence gave support for the theoretical model hypothesizing possible external environmental cause on this phenomenon. Limitations and recommendations for the study are discussed.本文以「社會認知理論」為架構，研究大學生的"休閒運動信心"，"休閒運動動機"，"休閒運動障礙"，和"休閒運動行為"的理論關係。作者假設了一個"大學生休間運動行為模式"去測試它們的關係。結果顯示"休閒運動信心"能夠成功地預測三個月後的"休閒運動行為"。而"休閒運動信心"和"休間運動動機"亦有顯著的正相關。不過三個月後的"休閒運動信心"和"休閒運動障礙 "卻出乎意料地有顯著正關係。此結果揭示了外在環境因素具潛在影響這個模式的可能性，作者還提出了此文的限制和建議。

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to determine the factors that motivate females to do exercise whom live in Corum and to understand whether these factors differ according to some variables. 104 women doing exercise between the age of 18-50 participated voluntarily in the study. In order to determine the motivation of the participants for free time activities, the “Free Time Motivation Scale” developed by Pelletier et al (1989,1991) was used. The adaptation of this scale to Turkish was done by Mutlu (2008) and Güngörmüş (2012). In this study, the one whose adaptation was done by Mutlu (2008) was used. In the 5 sub-dimensions of the scale, assessments were done according to working or not, age, educational status, and the frequency of participation in exercise. For statistical analysis, One- Way Anova and Turkey tests were used as normal distribution data, Kruskal Vallis test and Mann Whitney U test were used for non-normal distribution data. As a consequence of the statistical analysis carried out, it has been understood that leisure motivation values do not differ according to participants’ working in somewhere or not and educational status. In our research, age groups were classified in 4 separate groups as 18-25, 26-33, 34-41 and 42-49. It has been determined that the sub-scale of “to know and to accomplish” for those in 26-33 age group is higher than those who are in the age groups of 18-25 and 34-41. In the other sub-scales, no meaningful differences could be found between the age groups. When Free Time Motivation sub-scales were compared according to marital status, it was observed that only “identification/introjection sub-scale showed meaningful difference between the married and the single. Free Time Motivation sub-scales were compared according to the number of doing exercise days in a week, it was seen that the “external regulation” sub-scale of those doing exercise for 4 days or over a week is higher than those who do so for 3 days a week. According to the results obtained; Age, marital status, and often participate in exercise; motivates women to exercise has been found to be the most influential factors.Extended English abstract is in the end of PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı; Çorum ilinde bulunan kadınların egzersiz yapmalarına motive eden faktörleri belirleyerek, bu nedenlerin bazı değişkenlere göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını tespit etmektir. Çalışmaya 18-50 yaş aralığında, 104 adet egzersiz yapan kadın gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Katılımcıların egzersize katılım motivasyonlarını belirlemek amacıyla Pelletier ve ark. (1989,1991) tarafından geliştirilen “Boş Zaman Motivasyon Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Bu ölçeğin Türkçe’ye adaptasyon çalışmaları Mutlu (2008) ve Güngörmüş (2012) tarafından yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada Mutlu (2008) tarafından adaptasyonu yapılan ölçek kullanılmıştır. Araştırma grubunda yer alan katılımcıların ölçekte yer alan 5 alt boyutta, bir işte çalışıp çalışmamasına, yaşlarına, medeni durumlarına, eğitim durumlarına ve egzersize katılma sıklığına göre değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır. İstatistiksel analiz için normal dağılım gösteren verilerde olarak One-WayAnova ve Tukey testleri, normal dağılım göstermeyen verilerde Kruskal Vallis testi v e Mann Whitney_U testi kullanılmıştır. Yapılan istatistiksel analiz sonucunda katılımcıların bir işte çalışıp çalışmamasına ve eğitim durumuna göre boş zaman motivasyon değerlerinin farklılaşmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmada yaş grupları 18-25, 26-33, 34-41 ve 42-49 yaş olmak üzere 4 ayrı şekilde sınıflandırılmıştır. 26-33 yaş grubunda olanların “bilmek ve başarmak” alt ölçeğinin 18-25 yaş ve 34-41 yaş aralığında olanlardan daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Yaş gruplarına göre diğer alt ölçekler arasında anlamlı farklılık bulunmamıştır. Medeni duruma göre Boş Zaman Motivasyon alt ölçekleri karşılaştırıldığında sadece “özdeşim/içe atım” alt ölçeğinin evliler ile bekarlar arasında anlamlı farklılık gösterdiği görülmüştür. Haftada egzersiz yapılan gün sayısına göre Boş Zaman Motivasyon değerleri karşılaştırıldığında, haftada 4 gün ve üzeri egzersiz yapanların “dışsal düzenleme” alt faktörünün haftada 3 gün egzersiz yapanlardan yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak, yaş, medeni durum ve egzersize katılma sıklığının; kadınların egzersiz yapmalarına motive eden en etkili faktörler olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
