“…The study focuses on the experiences of women, as men and women experience rather different challenges and opportunities in later years, such as different patterns of poverty and loneliness, and different values regarding leisure (Iwasaki & Smale, 1998).…”

. 'Colour and communion': Exploring the influences of visual art-making as a leisure activity on older women's subjective well-being. Journal of Aging Studies, 24(2),[135][136][137][138][139][140][141][142][143] 'Colour and communion': exploring the influences of visual art-making as a leisure activity on older women's subjective well-being AbstractResearch into the subjective experience of art-making for older people is limited, and has focused mostly on professional artists rather than amateurs. This study examined older women's motives for visual art-making. Thirty-two participants aged 60-86 years old were interviewed. Twelve lived with chronic illness; twenty reported good health. Nearly all had taken up art after retirement; two had since become professional artists. Participants described their art-making as enriching their mental life, promoting enjoyment of the sensuality of colour and texture, presenting new challenges, playful experimentation, and fresh ambitions. Art also afforded participants valued connections with the world outside the home and immediate family. It encouraged attention to the aesthetics of the physical environment, preserved equal status relationships, and created opportunities for validation. Art-making protected the women's identities, helping them to resist the stereotypes and exclusions which are commonly encountered in later life.

“…The findings of some studies have shown that entering retirement increases engagement in leisure activities, and thus support activity theory (Iwasaki and Smale 1998;Janke et al 2006;Van den Bogaard et al 2013). However, the results of other studies have indicated that retirement does not increase engagement in leisure activities (Bosse and Ekerdt 1981;Rosenkoetter et al 2001;Talyor et al 2004;Agahi et al 2006;Berger et al 2005).…”

This study explores engagement in leisure activities in relation to retirement among individuals aged 58-75 using Swedish longitudinal data over the 1981-2010 period. Our focus is on the relationship between leisure engagement before retirement and retirement timing, as well as on the relationship between leisure engagement before and after retirement. Engagement in leisure is measured through participation in several leisure activities which are popular in Sweden. The results indicate that leisure engagement is not associated with retirement timing when period is considered in the models. It is noteworthy that when the effect of period is excluded, but central predictors of retirement timing are included, leisure engagement is shown to be statistically significant. The results also indicate that leisure engagement patterns in retirement tend to be a continuation of preretirement leisure engagement patterns. The policy implications of these results for active ageing and health are discussed.

“…A pesar de esta dualidad, encontramos numerosas investigaciones que tras analizar la evolución de las prácticas de ocio de población adulta y mayor hallan en sus resultados datos sufi cientes para apoyar una tendencia a la continuidad en los patrones de ocio (Armstrong & Morgan, 1998;IsoAhola, Jackson, & Dunn, 1994;Iwasaki & Smale, 1998;Jackson & Dunn, 1988;Lee & King, 2003;Searle, Mactavish & Brayley, 1993). Estos autores que han profundizado en esta dialéctica continuidad-cambio concluyen que existe en las personas una fuerte tendencia a buscar la repetición de aquellas actividades que nos han resultado satisfactorias.…”
