Abstract:
Do sex differences in drinking and leisure patterns vary across age and marital status groupings? Previous studies of drinking and leisure have ignored potential sex-age and sex-marital status interactions in their analyses. Using data from a Canadian national survey on alcohol (N=7,023), we addressed two issues: (1) the extent that leisure participation among current drinkers varies for each sex-age and sex-marital status group and (2) the extent that sex differences in alcohol consumed in various leisure settings are related to age and marital status? Analyses of variance results indicated that many sex differences in both leisure involvement and drinking-leisure patterns are dependent on age and marital status. The findings showed a convergence of lifestyle between men and women as they age on leisure patterns and, to a lesser extent, drinking in leisure settings. Convergence in both leisure and drinking occurred with marriage, with most change in behaviour shown by males.

Abstract:
Given the prominence of marital dissolution in American life in recent decades, it is important to understand what contributes to or deters it. This article focuses on spouses' shared leisure activities as a possible deterrent. An “attachment hypothesis”— that spouses' shared leisure time is a form of pleasurable interaction that strengthens the attachment between them and helps prevent marital break-up at the time and into the future—is tested in the context of controls for a variety of hypotheses. The empirical tests are supportive of the attachment hypothesis and suggest that, because couples with children have less shared leisure time, children can contribute to marital break-up as well as help prevent it.

Abstract:
Abstract We examined the frequency of participation in cognitive and social type of leisure activities in association with dementia risk over 15 years of follow-up in 12,280 participants aged 50+ from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the hazard of dementia in relation to the cognitive and social type of leisure activities as well as their interactions with sex and marital status. Medium and higher levels of engagement in cognitive leisure activities were associated with a lower risk of dementia. An analysis of the social type of leisure activities showed a similar pattern with protection for higher levels of engagement in a model adjusted for sex and marital status but further explained by wealth. This study shows a reduced risk of dementia for individuals with higher levels of engagement in cognitively stimulating activities, that may preserve cognitive reserve until later in life.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTThis study examined engagement in leisure activities among older adults, specifically focusing on how life transition factors in later life, including retirement and marital status, are associated with leisure activity engagement using a national sample of older American men and women. We conducted multiple regression analyses with a sample of 5,405 individuals (2,318 men; 3,087 women) from the Consumption and Activities Mail Survey, a supplementary sample of the Health and Retirement Study. We analysed activity engagement in each of four domains of leisure activities: mental, physical, social and religious. Retirement status was categorised into three groups: working (referent), completely retired and partly retired. Marital status was categorised into four groups: married (referent), divorced or separated, widowed and never married. We found an overall trend of a positive relationship between retirement and leisure activity engagement, which suggests that retirement provides a chance for older adults to participate in leisure activities after withdrawal from the labour force. The overall trend of a negative relationship between non-married status and leisure activity engagement suggests that the loss or absence of a spouse may serve as a barrier to participate in leisure activities. Nevertheless, variation among retirees and non-married individuals suggests future studies should compare completely and partly retired individuals or those who are widowed, divorced or separated, or never married to elucidate distinguishable leisure activity profiles.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate if and how comparative skill levels within marital leisure activities relate to marital satisfaction, and if gender or activity type affects that relationship, and if Flow theory could help explain a potential correlation of these leisure activity contexts. Specifically, this study examined three different comparative skill differences and similarities of couples engaging in leisure activities in three different types of leisure activities as factors in marital leisure satisfaction and ultimately Satisfaction With Married Life (SWML). Their gender and the skill-gender interactions were also included in the analysis. This study followed up on Johnson et al.'s (2006) recommendation for “œmore consideration . . . to be given to the context of the activities themselves and the motivation behind participation” (p. 20). The sample consisted of 657 participating couples regionally reflecting the population and ethnicity across the United States. The Modified Marital Activity Profile (MMAP) was used to measure marital leisure satisfaction. The Satisfaction with Married Life (SWML) scale was included after the MMAP to obtain the overall satisfaction with married life score. The flow experience was measured using items from the Flow State Scale (FSS). A mixed models analysis of co-variance indicated the most common joint leisure activity of both spouses at a similar skill level, and husband is noticeably better than wife, reported significantly higher SWML scores than when the wife is noticeably better than the husband most often. Also, couples who are satisfied with their leisure participation in worse than spouse activities have significantly high SWML scores. Analysis further showed three of the four significant Flow variables had high SWML scores when experiencing Flow, whereas non-athletic activities appeared to be opposite of the other three Flow variables. These relationships were significant even when accounting for the variance explained by demographic variables of gender, age, years married, marriage history, education obtained, ethnicity, and location. Findings support existing family leisure research. This study, however, goes beyond existing research by indicating which comparative skill levels, by gender, and activity types, are positively correlated to SWML. The findings provide implications to couples who are interested in maintaining a healthy marriage, to those considering marriage, scholars, and professionals.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to compare marital satisfaction among serious leisure participants in partner dancing and their spouses based on their participation patterns in dance (both dancers or only one dancer), with covariates of spousal support, satisfaction with leisure, and leisure-family conflict. This study not only found a significant relationship between marital satisfaction and participation patterns for dancers (participating together β =.2125), but the averages for joint and individual participation patterns fell on either side of the non-distressed versus distressed cut-off score for marital satisfaction, suggesting that participation in a serious leisure activity, like partner dancing, without your spouse was associated with marital distress, and participating with your spouse can help reduce or avoid that stress. Results also suggest that it is role support felt for a specific leisure activity (in this case, dance) that was related to marital satisfaction (β =.4925), but not support felt for general leisure activities or levels of support given. Finally, retiring to bed at the same time was confirmed as an important couple ritual that positively relates to marital satisfaction (β =.1548).

Full text
Abstract:
This study tested Self-Determination Theory as a possible explanatory framework to understand the relationship between total couple leisure satisfaction and marital satisfaction. The three psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness-fundamental components of Self-Determination Theory-were measured through the Fulfillment of Psychological Needs during Couple Leisure (FPNL) scale and were tested as mediators. The analysis of five structural equation models confirmed the relevance of the Self-Determination Theory in explaining the relationship between couple leisure satisfaction and marital satisfaction. Although autonomy and competence were significant mediators, relatedness consistently appeared as the strongest mediator suggesting that the fulfillment of this psychological need is particularly important for relationship functioning and well-being. Implications to couple leisure are discussed.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to provide evidence-based outcomes related to a couples adaptive sports event intended to facilitate posttraumatic growth, increase marital satisfaction, leisure satisfaction, feelings of competence in sports, and reduce symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for veterans with PTSD and their significant others. The sample consisted of three groups of couples, experimental Group A had five couples, experimental Group B had six couples, and the Control Group had six couples. ANCOVA analysis indicated significant differences between Group A and the Control Group for overall PTSD and the subscale of hyperarousal. There were also significant increases in marital satisfaction, leisure satisfaction, significant decreases in the symptoms of posttraumatic stress overall, and in all three subscales: re-experiencing, avoidance/emotional numbing, and hyperarousal. Findings supported Kleiber's, Hutchinson's, and Williams' (2002) four functions of leisure in transcending negative life events. Findings indicated participation in a couple's adaptive sports program has positive impacts on the veteran's and their significant other's marital satisfaction and reduces symptoms of PTSD. It is recommended that recreation providers facilitate couple adaptive sports programs for veterans and their significant others to reduce symptoms of PTSD and increase marital satisfaction.

The objective of this study is to explore correlation and predictability between consistency in marriage values, congruent leisure preferences, marital conflict and marital satisfaction. A survey by questionnaire was adopted and sampled from married people living in Changhua County. There were total 449 qualified samples. The methodologies adopted for this study are "marriage value scale", "leisure preferences scales", "marital conflict scales" and "marital satisfaction scale". Data obtained from the survey will be further analyzed by different statistical tools such as descriptive statistics, t test, one-way ANOVA, multivariate regression analysis. It’s found that, leisure preference and marriage value are positively correlated to marital satisfaction, especially from "marriage values_modernity" and "leisure preferences_social type". But marital satisfaction is negatively correlated to the conflict, such as "marital conflict_the elder care" performs the highest negative correlation. In addition, marital value, leisure preference and marital conflict perform high predictability to marital satisfaction. In detail, "Marriage value_modernity" ; "Leisure preference_social", "leisure preference_taste", "leisure preference_sport" and "leisure preference_culture" ; "Marital conflict_the elder care", "marital conflict_the Family Division", "marital conflict_parenting" and "marital conflict_emotional expression and communication" are able to predict marital satisfaction, respectively. Finally, according to the results of this study, recommendations will be made for married people on how to maintain their marriage, or for single people if they are getting married, or for subsequent researcher’s reference.

Current social concepts and styles have overthrown traditional thinking about marriage. Especially for the young generations in the new era who think that marriage is an invisible culves which lead to an unhappy life. Therefore, young people would live in ways of cohabitation to maintain happy and free status rather than get married. Even if get married, they still insist the attitude of ? staying together if the couples match, or leave otherwise? . As a result, the current divorce rate is quite high and the sense of happiness is declining year by year. Whether the marriage is happy or not depends not on any commitments but mutual understanding, caring, happiness and love. Psychologist Dr.Wang therefore proposed that 4 conditions are needed if the couples want to live in a happiness way of marital life, they are: well communication, love and respect mutually, trust and good humous. The purposes of this study included: (1) to examine if different social economic backgrounds would lead to differences in lifestyles, leisure preferences, quality of marriage and sense of happiness; (2) to examine if different lifestyles, leisure preferences would lead to differences in quality of marriage; (3) to examine if different lifestyles would lead to differences in leisure preferences; and (4) to examine the relationships between quality of marriage and sense of happiness. The snowball sampling approach was applied to collect 532 samples as data for this study where realiability analysis, exploratory factor analysis, one way ANOVA, Chi-square test and connonical correlation analysis were applied to examine the study hypotheses. The study results have shown that: (1) there were significant differences in lifestyles, leisure preferences, quality of marriage and sense of happiness among some various social economic backgrounds; (2) different lifestyle clusters would have significant differences in quality of marriage; and also have significant differences in three dimensions of sense of happiness, including: actively optimistic, happy marriage and friendships; (3) the clusters of leisure preferences have shown significant differences in quality of marriage and sense of happiness; and finally (4) there was a significant relationship between quality of marriage and sense of happiness. Therefore, it was verified that there were paired significant relationships among lifestyles, leisure preferences, quality of marriage and sense of happiness. The above results have accomplished the study goals. According to the study results, some suggestions to improve happy marriage were presented for the references of couples to manage their marriage, future study suggestions were also presented for those who are interested in this concern so that the reliability of the marital happiness theories may be increased.

Abstract:
‘It is singular, that my having spent a winter with one of the most dissipated women in England should have sobered my mind so completely.’ Maria Edgeworth's 1801 novel, Belinda, is an absorbing, sometimes provocative, tale of social and domestic life among the English aristocracy and gentry. The heroine of the title, only too conscious of being ‘advertised’ on the marriage market, grows in moral maturity as she seeks to balance self-fulfilment with achieving material success. Among those whom she encounters are the socialite Lady Delacour, whose brilliance and wit hide a tragic secret, the radical feminist Harriot Freke, the handsome and wealthy Creole gentleman Mr Vincent, and the mercurial Clarence Hervey, whose misguided idealism has led him into a series of near-catastrophic mistakes. In telling their story Maria Edgeworth gives a vivid picture of life in late eighteenth-century London, skilfully showing both the attractions of leisured society and its darker side, and blending drawing-room comedy with challenging themes involving serious illness, obsession, slavery and interracial marriage.

Abstract:
This chapter links the rise of San Francisco’s modern woman to the inception of geisha imagery in leisure culture. As women in the city grew more athletic and assertive, moral conservatives blamed higher rates of marital failure on the modern woman who refused to fulfill appropriate women’s roles. Images of obedient, self-sacrificing, petite Japanese geishas flooded leisure culture just as American women seemed to be abandoning more “traditional femininity.” The romanticized representations would neither reflect realities of Japanese women nor benefit those Japanese living in San Francisco even as they appeared complimentary in its depictions of Japanese traditions. The discursive embrace of Japanese femininity would solely be for the pleasure and enrichment of whites in their exploration of appropriate middle-class womanhood.

This chapter delves into John Codman’s writings about his travel throughout Utah in 1873. Codman’s focus includes the Union Pacific, through which John W. Young managed Corrine’s bathing and boating trade and incorporated the growing network of Mormon leisure industries. Many of John W Young’s projects led Codman to explore the Tabernacle, which informed him about Mormon religious practices and marital systems, and investigate dramatic plays in the Salt Lake Theatre. Codman finishes his assessment on Corinne with a northern tour where he recognizes unity among Corinnethians due to the Indian scare and the anti-Indian program. Overall, Codman’s book, The Mormon Country, publicized Mormonism and played a role as a guided cultural mediator moderating between pro- and anti-Mormon claims, and promised that Utah would remain a special a site of rich cultural encounters, both on and off the railroad tracks.

Abstract:
The Democratic Party’s 2008 presidential nomination was supposed to be the inevitable coronation of Hillary Clinton. She was the most well-known candidate; had the most support from the party establishment, and had, by far, the most financial resources. Two big names (Al Gore and John Kerry) considered running, but decided they had no hope of defeating the Clinton machine. That left an unlikely assortment of lesser-knowns: a U.S. Representative from Ohio (Dennis Kucinich), the Governor of New Mexico (Bill Richardson), and several U.S. Senators: Joe Biden (Delaware), John Edwards (North Carolina), Chris Dodd (Connecticut), Mike Gravel (Alaska), and Barack Obama (Illinois). The nomination went off script. Obama was a first-term senator, a black man with an unhelpful name, but he excited voters. He raised enough money to be competitive in the Iowa caucuses and he persuaded Oprah Winfrey to campaign for him. Obama defeated Clinton by eight percentage points in Iowa and the race was on. Obama won the Democratic nomination and, then, the presidential election against Republican John McCain because the Obama campaign had a lot more going for it than Obama’s eloquence and charisma: Big Data. The Obama campaign tried to put every potential voter into its data base, along with hundreds of tidbits of personal information: age, gender, marital status, race, religion, address, occupation, income, car registrations, home value, donation history, magazine subscriptions, leisure activities, Facebook friends, and anything else they could find that seemed relevant. Some data were collected from public data bases, some from e-mail exchanges or campaign workers knocking on front doors. Some data were purchased from private data vendors. Layered on top were weekly telephone surveys of thousands of potential voters which not only gathered personal data, but also attempted to gauge each person’s likelihood of voting—and voting for Obama. These voter likelihoods were correlated statistically with personal characteristics and extrapolated to other potential voters based on their personal characteristics. The campaign’s computer software predicted how likely each person its data base was to vote and the probability that the vote would be for Obama. This data-driven model allowed the campaign to microtarget individuals through e-mails, snail mail, personal visits, and television ads asking for donations and votes.
