Dayley, Benjamin. "Marital Leisure Satisfaction: Investigating Comparative Skill Levels Within Marital Leisure Activities." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2015. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/5481.
Full textAbstract:
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.

Hyde, Sara Alexandra. "Do I Date My Dance Partner: An Examination of Marital Satisfaction Among Serious Leisure Participants in Partner Dancing." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2014. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/4213.
Full textAbstract:
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).

Amato, Miriam Puerta. "The Mediating Effects of Autonomy, Competence, and Relatedness during Couple Leisure on the Relationship between Total Couple Leisure Satisfaction and Marital Satisfaction." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2013. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/4057.
Full textAbstract:
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.

Bennett, Jessie L. "Addressing Posttraumatic Stress Among Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans and Their Significant Others: An Intervention Utilizing Sport and Recreation." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2010. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/2550.
Full textAbstract:
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.

This paper used data from the“Report of Survey of Family Income and Expenditure” in 2006 and 2016. And we analyze the influencing factors of Taiwan’s leisure spending by Quantile Regression. In order to observe the distribution and contribution of the explanatory variables to leisure spending over the two years, we used OB (Oaxaca-Blinder) decomposition and RIF (Recentered Influence Function) decomposition to explore the factors that contributed to the difference in leisure and travel spending between 2006 and 2016. The result indicates: First, we found marital status of household’s head and family population above 65 years old household have negative significant influence on family leisure and travel spending and disposable income, educational level of the head of the household, family population have positive significant influence on family leisure and travel spending in 2006. And the result is also similar to 2016. Second, in OB decomposition, we found that the difference between leisure spending in 2006 and 2016 was due to marital status of household’s head. Third, about the RIF analysis, the main factors for the difference between leisure and travel spending over the two years are the coefficient effect of the household disposable income, the gender of householder, educational level of the head of the household, family population and the number of employment.

For the single women, they have higher structural constraint than interpersonal constraint and intrapersonal constraint as well as women married with kids. Women married with no kids have higher interpersonal constraints than intrapersonal constraints. Divorced women have higher structural constraints than intrapersonal constraints. Widowed women have higher structural constraints than interpersonal constraints. 4. The working time and leisure time trade-off was different with the marital status. Most women like sedentary activities during their free time whether married or single. Most working women faced more structural constraints while planning their leisure activities.

ŠIMEČKOVÁ, Veronika. "Využití prvků alternativní pedagogiky Maria Montessori pro děti ulice v Zambii." Doctoral thesis, 2010. http://www.nusl.cz/ntk/nusl-53612.
Full textAbstract:
Dissertation thesis - "The use of elements of alternative education system of Maria Montessori for street children in Zambia" - is dedicated to the education of vulnerable children and "street children" in Zambia. In the introduction to the theoretical part of the thesis, the author describes Zambia itself and thereafter in following chapters, she outlines the main issues on which a detailed analysis of poverty, HIV / AIDS and its impact especially on children is presented. She gives more detailed information concerning the questions of the Zambian education; she introduces its main characters and to summarise this chapter, she deals with the particular division of the Zambian education. Given that the author in her work in Zambia found out that the reason of inefficiency in education is caused by lack of financial resources and inefficiency in educational system itself, she focused exactly on this issue. Furthermore, she treats the area devoted to volunteering and its regularities. The problem of vulnerable children and "street children" can be understood as one of the many consequences of poverty in Zambia. Street children are divided into two groups Children in the Street and Children of the Street. The difference in these two groups is essential; and that the first group spends the free time on the street and the second group lives on the street. In conclusion of the theoretical part, the author introduces the alternative pedagogy of Maria Montessori and she indicates the most important and the most basic principles, elements and specific areas of learning. The research section presents results in relation to the objectives of the dissertation thesis, which she set at the beginning and then got in the research effectuated in the years 2006 - 2009 in Zambia where she focused on the implementation of education and leisure time activities for vulnerable children (OVC / Orphans and vulnerable children) and "street children" of preventive social project of educational and leisure time activities in compaundu (slum) Kalingalinga. The author chose four goals to complete her research. The first objective was to determine whether is possible to use some elements of the pedagogy of Maria Montessori for the education and leisure time activities of vulnerable children (OVC / Orphans and vulnerable children), and "street children"; the second aim was to develop methodological tools and handouts, which will be adapted according the internal culture of the country and social status of children. The third goal was to create a suitable leisure time activities for children of the street, which will again correspond to the nature of children. The fourth goal was to improve cooperation, coordination among the trainees who go to Zambia effectuate the social project. Methodical handouts and instructions, worked out by the author, for working with these children are also a part of this chapter. All the goals of the work had been fulfilled and the author proved that the elements of alternative education of Maria Montessori in education and creation of leisure time activities can be used for vulnerable children and "street children".
