“…Recently, more and more leisure scholars recognized the limitations of traditional leisure constraints model and started paying particular attention to the nature of the individual/group characteristics, such as SES (Chang, Fang, Ling, & Tsai, 2011), age (Liechty, & Yarnal ,2010), gender and/or nationality (Zhang, Zhang, Cheng, Lu, & Shi, 2012), on the formation of leisure constraints. As mentioned previously, it is because of that the concept of leisure constraints are largely influenced by the socio/culturel perceptions on leisure activities, and thus, the context specific approach would aid our understanding on the nature of leisure constraits.…”

The purpose of the current study was to examine the psychometric properties of a leisure constraints model within the context of Asian international students attending colleges in the U.S. Data were collected from a sample of 116 Asian international students attending a Midwestern university in the U.S. Eight (7 constraints and a dependant) factors were identified through EFA with a promax rotation. Construct validity of leisure constraints was confirmed with a CFA . Among the constraint factors, the Lack of Time found to be the most significant obstacle inhibiting Asian international students from participating in physical activity. Additionally, the results from SEM found that the constraint factors explained a significant amount of variance in the future non-intention in the physical activity participation. The results from the current study provide both theoretical and practical implication for scholars and practitioners as the study found a unique set of constraint factors applicable for Asian international students.

“…One major finding indicates that calligraphic works displayed near the entrance of tourist attractions are primarily perceived as landmarks and geographic cues by Chinese tourists. Applying the well-known leisure constraint model, Zhang and colleagues examined Chinese tourists' constraints in the calligraphic landscape experience (Zhang, Zhang, Cheng, Lu, & Shi, 2012). Their findings confirmed the three levels of constraints (i.e.…”

This study investigates Chinese tourists' perceived value of the Chinese calligraphic landscape in tourism settings. Four-hundred and twenty-two valid questionnaires were randomly collected among Chinese tourists in a touristic site with a calligraphic landscape in China. Four dimensions of perceived value of calligraphic landscape are proposed and identified: functional tangible value, functional intangible value, social value, and emotional value. In addition, this study suggests that functional intangible value and emotional value of a calligraphic landscape play significant roles in affecting tourist satisfaction and loyalty. A one-way analysis of variance reveals that the perceived value of a calligraphic landscape varies across tourists with different levels of liking for and familiarity with Chinese calligraphy.

“…Possible discriminations resulted from culture difference do not seem to have any significant influence on leisure activities. Influence of the constraint negotiation strategies affects different leisure activities such as sports activities, event tourism and activities as specific as museum leisure activities, calligraphy and landscape leisure experience and skiing [14] [15]. There is difference in the type of constraint factors and the ways of negotiating among various fields.…”

“…New hypothesis were proposed based on Hubbard and Mannell's model. The model was therefore supplemented and tested and then evolved into models with higher credibility [14] [22] [23]. Research on leisure time physical activity of city park tourists applied SEM to test Hubbard's constraint negotiation model and found out that negotiation strategies played a vital role in motivation and participation as a mediate.…”

Based on the Constraint Negotiation Strategies, this study aims to explore whether three types of constraint factors and their hierarchy relations can be applied to Chinese tourists. The subject of this study is the leisure activities of Chinese tourists taking a leisure vacation. The study tends to figure out the main constraint factors and their corresponding negotiation strategies. The authors conduct confirmatory factor analysis to the data collected and also perform the Structural Equation Model to test the Constraint Negotiation Model and its hypotheses. The results show that structural constraints have a significant influence on participation to leisure activities. Driven by motivation to have a leisure vacation, tourists choose ReBAM as their negotiation strategy to fulfill their need of participating in leisure activities. While still maintaining some very special features of its own, leisure tourism in China is gradually merging with the international trend for tourism development.
