“…Recently published articles (Hawes, 1978;Hollender, 1977) have demonstrated the continuing popularity of using factor structures to represent the meanings of different leisure activities. Unfortunately, there is little consistency in factor structures between these studies and others like them, resulting in relatively little accumulation of knowledge.…”

This paper reports data concerning the stability of the factor structure of leisure meanings in the same recreational activity in two different geographic settings. Leisure meanings were conceptualized as a function of human needs and motivation. Data were obtained through surveys of river floaters in Dinosaur National Monument and Big Bend National Park. Summary findings include:(1) Recreationists did not tend to make fine distinctions between motive constructs; (2) some motivational dimensions were stable across the two study areas while others were not; (3) stability of motives appeared to be related to the specificity of the constructs involved, their meanings to recreationists, the importance recreationists attributed to the motives, and to situational differences of the two study areas; (4) factor structures in this study tend to support results of other studies using hierarchical clustering procedures to identify the structure of recreational motives.

“…The questionnaire included the list of 32 leisure satisfaction statements developed by Hawes (1978) as an extension of work done initially on the meanings of leisure as perceived satisfactions by Donald and Havighurst (1959). There were a number of reasons for using a list of satisfaction statements.…”

“…The reasons why people participate in leisure, the meanings they ascribe to particular activities, the satisfactions they obtain, and the relationship of satisfactions to other social-psychological constructs are the topics for investigation. Illustrative of this approach is research by Donald and Havighurst (1959), Havighurst (1961), Kelly (1978), Hawes (1978), and Rageb and Beard (1980). The current study falls into the second category.…”

Using a slightly modified version of a list of satisfaction statements developed by Hawes (1978), and a piloted interview guide, a study was undertaken of a quota sample (N = 304) of coarse, sea, and game anglers in the United Kingdom (U.K.). Results indicated that there is a common range of satisfactions sought from the three types of angling. These included active factors such as adventure and excitement, uncertainty and chance to develop a skill, and a group of factors concerned with mental relaxation, such as peace of mind, chance to be alone, and enjoy nature. Contact with friends was also found to be important. At the same time important differences exist in the blend of satisfactions looked for by coarse, game, and sea anglers.For sea anglers the active factors of "uncertainty and adventure and excitement" are more important to the group as a whole than the peaceful factors of "peace of mind" and "alone in a peaceful spot." In coarse and game angling, "active" and "peaceful" factors are intermingled in the most prevalent statements.Likewise, differences exist in the blend looked for by the "under" compared with the "over" 24 years of age. For the under 24s, the active statements "adventure and excitement" and "chance to develop a skill" are more important to the group than

“…Activity groupings have also been based on the kinds of satisfaction sought by participants (Tinsley and Kass 1978;Hawes 1978). Measures of "satisfaction" such as getting along with others or utilizing abilitites are factor or cluster analyzed to create groupings that are similar in terms of the satisfactions they provide.…”
