“…The 72-item SLIM scale showed acceptable fit, reliability, and validity across samples in a previous pilot test by using a q-sort, an expert (Gould, Moore, McGuire, & Stebbins, 2008). This 72-item SLIM scale has a short form consisting of 54 items (Gould et al, 2008), which was then reduced to an 18-item scale (Gould et al, 2011). Each of the 18 items represents one of the 18 dimensions of serious leisure.…”

As the aging population grows and their life expectancy increases, one concern is how to live a happy and healthy later life; in other words, how to age successfully. In this sense, leisure is one important aspect of successful aging. Thus, this study examined the relationship between different types of serious leisure and successful aging in later life. Participants whose serious leisure activity included a high social component were more likely to engage more seriously. However, there were no significant differences between different types of serious leisure activity and successful aging. This research suggests that older adults have broad choices of leisure activities to experience successful aging.

“…However, researchers do not have much use for casual leisure and few studies (Gould, 2005;Gould et al, 2011;Gould, Moore, McGuire, & Stebbins, 2008;Tsaur & Liang, 2008) have applied a quantitative approach to create a valid and reliable measure. Most of the researchers have applied a qualitative approach (Brown, 2007;Dilley & Scraton, 2010;Gibson, Willming, & Holdnak, 2002;Hultsman, 1992;Kane & Zink, 2004;Khoo, 2008;Kim, 2004;Maloney, 2008;Mandin, 1998;Qian & Yarnal, 2010;Silverman, 2006).…”

“…Third, participants were assumed as serious leisure participants because of the nature of the participation within the pursuit (Cheng & Tsaur, 2012;Gibson et al, 2002;Hultsman, 1992;Jones, 2010;Liu, 2012;Qian & Yarnal, 2010;Silverman, 2006;Tsaur & Liang, 2008). Fourth, leisure activities (high-risk drinking, chess, mountaineering, jazz, bird watching, dance, football, taekwondo, surfing and home brewing) were assumed as serious leisure activity because of the serious nature of the pursuits (Brown, 2005;Cheng & Tsaur, 2012;Dilley & Scraton, 2010;Gibson et al, 2002;Gould et al, 2011;Maloney, 2008;Mandin, 1998;Murray, 2011;Kim, 2004;Kim et al, 2011;Silverman, 2006;Tsaur & Liang, 2008). Lastly, cluster analysis was used in a study (Hwang, 2008) for classifying serious and casual leisure participants.…”

The aim of this study is to test if there are different qualities of serious leisure in a Turkish sample and to develop a valid and reliable serious and casual leisure measure (SCLM) using data from both casual and serious leisure participants. With the use of focus groups, an expert panel, a pilot study, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, a 9-factor model with 42 items demonstrated acceptable fit and reliability values. Besides six dimensions of serious leisure set out by Stebbins [(1982). Serious leisure: A conceptual statement. The Pacific Sociological Review, 25(2), 251-272], two new qualities -personality congruence and sense of competence -not previously discussed in the serious leisure literature emerged in this study. In addition, durable benefits, one of the qualities of serious leisure, was divided into two interpretable factors and they were labelled as therapeutic benefits and psycho-social benefits.

“…One of them, serious leisure and casual leisure, has comprehensive and rich history of qualitative research that contributes to the leisure literature quantitative concept so as to validate and test existing knowledge, and is still capable of [13]. In this context, the aim of this study is to classify participants into two groups as serious leisure or casual leisure, and to compare serious and casual leisure groups each other based on leisure satisfaction, satisfactions with life and emotional abilities.…”

Social isolation of the seafarers -which induces human factor in marine accidents -is an important problem driver in the ship environment. Emotional competencies and satisfaction with life are able to reduce effects of social isolation. Ordinary participation in leisure activities can enhance individual emotional intelligence, provide physical and mental health as well as an improved social interaction and produce life satisfaction. The aim of this study is to classify seafarers based on their leisure participation level, and to compare them each other in terms of leisure satisfaction, life satisfaction and emotional intelligence by structural equation modeling. Providing leisure facilities for seafarers and supporting them to join leisure activates as serious participants can eliminate negative effects of social isolation by enhancing the emotional intelligence and producing life satisfaction.
