“…Another approach to examining leisure is to specialize in a methodology for measuring certain aspects or a specific subset of leisure activities, such as Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale (PALMS) [43,44], the Serious Leisure Inventory Measure (SLIM) [45], then to examine the structural validity of SLIM and compare it with another instrument [46]. Additionally, worthy of attention are the methodological approaches that have used the Likert scales to measure leisure [47][48][49] or to compare several leisure measurement techniques [50].…”

Leisure is a phenomenon that undergoes constant change. These changes are sometimes global, but more often, they are localized. For this reason, the capturing of leisure and leisure activities poses a major challenge for researchers. In particular, they struggle to capture measurements for leisure activities in such a way that these measurement results can be compared over time, in different places, and in different communities. We have therefore identified the need for a tool that makes it possible to compare both time- and place-specific measurements. Based on our long-term research, we have created the Catalogue of Leisure Activities (CaLA), which is built on two pillars—content proximity and value consequences of leisure activities. Therefore, the CaLA allows for the capturing of the complexity of leisure activities and using the data thus measured as variables in statistical hypotheses, longitudinal comparisons of research across locations, over time, and across population groups (e.g., children, adults, etc.). It also allows measurements of other secondary characteristics (e.g., favor rate, duration, etc.) to be linked to the activities found. The results of measuring leisure activities using the CaLA can be used in research as a dependent or independent variable. As a result, we can detect many hitherto hidden relationships that significantly influence leisure experience and its quality. The CaLA also opens up many more possibilities for a wider range of applications in practice, e.g., in counseling, psychology, and coaching in support of individual development, in helping professions, social work and pedagogy when working with students and clients, and among managers when planning the development and maintaining the competitiveness of leisure facilities. Last but not least, the CaLA can be used by community leaders and politicians when designing public policies or developing a sustainable society.

“…Sport is also often a form of serious leisure (Stebbins.... 1992) that provides participants "small worlds" of social identification, opportunities for learning and developing skills, escape from monotonous and routine work, recognition for commitment and excellence, and a context for the expression of achievement motivations. Within the framework of serious leisure, a wide and diverse range of studies have been conducted over the past three decades with sports being one of the most popular activities in the domain of serious leisure, including master swimmers (Hastings, Kurth, Schloder, & Cyr, 1995) youth sports (Siegenthaler & Gonzalez, 1997) whitewater kayakers (Sherry & Bartram, 2001) dancers (Brown, 2007) cycling (O"Connor & Brown, 2010) playing chess (Gould et al, 2011) taekwondo participation (Kim, Dattilo, & Heo, 2011) amateur athletes (MacCosham, Patry, Beswick, & Gravelle, 2015) competition climbing (Gagnon, Stone, & Garst, 2015) runners (Ronkainen, Harrison, Shuman, & Ryba, 2017) female roller derby athletes (Liu, Baghurst, & Bradley, 2018) and different sets of athletes (Romero, Iraurgi, Madariaga, & Gould, 2020). These studies demonstrated a strong relationship between the serious leisure characteristics of athletes and their leisure involvement and dedication.…”

The aim of this study is to determine serious leisure perspectives of professional athletes. 689 athletes selected through random sampling participated in the study. The data were collected with the "Serious Leisure Inventory and Measure (Short Form) (SLIM)"", developed by Gould et al. (2011) adapted to Turkish by Ozdemir, Ayyıldız Durhan, and Akgül (2020) which consisting of 12 items and 3 sub-dimensions. It was determined that the data were not distributed homogeneously and non parametric tests were applied. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, Man Whitney U, Kruskall Wallis, Tukey (HSD-LSD) and Pearson Correlation test were used for within-group comparisons. In this study, total internal reliability coefficient of SLIM (short form) scale was determined as .93. Participants had higher SLIM scores (89,60 ± 15,76), the highest subscale score was ""identification with pursuit and social outcomes"" sub-dimension (37,39 ± 7,35), and the lowest subscale score was ""individual outcomes"" (22,30 ± 4,39). Significant relationships and differences were found among the variables of gender, sports, age of athletics, number of trainings per week, participation status of international competitions, perceived challenge of duties, perceived skill development and perceived total development. As a result of the research, it was determined that professional athletes had high serious leisure perspectives and this situation being in interaction with certain variables.

“…Si bien es cierto que la concepción del voluntariado dentro de este campo se enfoca más hacia una labor no remuneradadocentes, a lo cualAlonso et al (2019) exponen que el desarrollo de trabajos de tipo artesanal o un oficio que no está en directa relación con su demanda laboral genera cierto equilibrio y beneficio tanto personal como colectivo, impactando directamente en su desempeño como docente. Así mismo, se han adelantado trabajos que buscan validar escalas de medida y valoración del ocio serio, por ejemplo, el estudio llevado a cabo porRomero et al (2020) buscó reafirmar la validez estructural del serious leisure inventory and measure (SLIM), trabajo realizado con una muestra objetiva de 370 atletas de diferentes clubes deportivos del País Vasco, España.En consecuencia, la diversidad de contextos en los que se puede estudiar el ocio serio es múltiple, reforzando así la idea de interdisciplinariedad de su aplicación y estudio. ofrece la trascendencia, o profundidad que ofrece el ocio serio, lo que concuerda con lo planteado porStebbins (1997, como se citó enCodina et al, 2017) en cuanto a que el ocio casual se basa en aquella actividad "inmediata, intrínsecamente gratificante; las cosas y el placer de realizar lo que verdaderamente gusta, es decir, el placer de hacer algo por el simple hecho de hacerlo y eso es lo verdaderamente satisfactorio.…”

Trabajar y estudiar de manera simultánea es el común denominador de una gran cantidad de jóvenes universitarios en el contexto colombiano, quienes se valen principalmente de las herramientas digitales para poder acceder a un proceso formativo en alguna universidad. UNIMINUTO no es ajena a esta realidad. Desde esta idea, es válido apostar por indagar frente a los tiempos y espacios de ocio de los estudiantes que trabajan y estudian al mismo tiempo. A partir de un trabajo investigativo y descriptivo, con un sustento que aborda diferentes posturas conceptuales frente al ocio y con la colaboración de estudiantes que adelantan sus actividades académicas en modalidad a distancia y virtual, se decidió ahondar en este tema particular, partiendo de las categorías de ocio serio, ocio casual, ocio digital y satisfacción con los tiempos de ocio; utilizando un instrumento tipo cuestionario, se pudo observar que, a pesar de ser pocos los tiempos para divertirse, descansar o “hacer nada”, son satisfactorios y se saben disfrutar y aprovechar al máximo.
