“…The present study examined the interplay among leisure activities, physical health, and depressive symptoms among older men and women in Mexico, the country for which little research on leisure in later life is available (for exceptions, see Gutierrez et al, 2020 and Reyes Uribe, 2018). Overall, the current findings highlight several gender differences in the psychological benefits of group and individual leisure activities, whereas only a few previous studies in this area examined the role of gender.…”

“…Specifically, among older Mexican women with better self-reported health, two group activities (i.e., attending church and playing games) and one individual activity (i.e., reading) were predictive of more depressive symptoms. Prior research provides some potential explanations for these associations indicating that women may prefer to spend their leisure time differently, but because of such factors as socioeconomic constraints, cultural values and norms, and family obligations, they have to engage in less desirable activities (Reyes Uribe, 2018; Tsai, 2011). Even if they do not have health issues, women might have limited access to and fewer opportunities for leisure, compared to men (Reyes Uribe, 2018; Tsai, 2011), which can be especially applicable to women from older cohorts and from more traditional cultures.…”

Objectives This study investigated whether the effects of specific types of group and individual leisure activities on depressive symptoms differ for older men and women in Mexico and whether several indicators of physical health can shape the psychological benefits of these activities. Methods This study used data from two waves (2012 and 2015) of the Mexican Health and Aging Study and employed OLS regressions. Results The association between leisure activities and depressive symptoms among older Mexicans may vary by the type of activity, gender, and physical health. Physical health issues may decrease potential psychological benefits of certain leisure activities. Yet, despite deteriorating physical health, older adults may benefit from involvement in some leisure activities. Discussion This study highlights the diversity of experiences related to later-life mental health and emphasizes the importance of investigating psychological implications of specific types of leisure activities among older men and women with different physical health concerns.

The number of older women are increasing more rapidly and it is estimated that by 2050, the number of elderly women over 60 years old will be 3.2 times that of 2000. Moreover, the number and rate of elderly women in cities where widowed life alone has increased. The study pays attention to the fragile and vulnerable group of urban elderly women. Hence, the purpose of the study to suggest psychological adjustment and guidance for ageing urban women. The study suggests that by adopting protective policies and measures in a targeted manner this problem can be resolved. It is not only a critical responsibility of the state and the government, but also the social responsibility of all sectors of society, including enterprises and non-profit sectors of society, and even every ordinary citizen to support the elderly women for making their rest of lives happier and enjoyable.

“…The most important reason why individuals are physically active in their leisure is motivation [19]. Reyes Uribe [20] stated in her study that there is evidence that the health development of older adults triggers their leisure motivation (especially physical leisure time participation). Leisure activities are those preferred by individuals to perform during this time, independently from their work or other types of tasks [21].…”

Background: This study was designed to examine the relationship between perceived freedom in leisure and psychological resilience of university staff. Material and Methods: The sample group of the study was composed of 189 academic and 81 administrative university staff (Mage=36.11±7.34). Participants were assessed based on the “Perceived Freedom in Leisure Scale (T-PFLS)” and the “Brief Resilience Scale (T-BRS)”. ANOVA, independent samples t-test, and Pearson correlation analysis methods were used to analyze the data. Results: T-test analysis indicated that there was no significant difference between the mean scores of “T-PFLS”; however, there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of “T-BRS” with regard to gender. The male participants’ mean scores were higher than those of the female participants. The analysis revealed statistically significant differences in “T-PFLS” and “T-BRS” mean scores with respect to the position at the university. ANOVA analysis indicated statistically significant differences in mean scores of “T-PFLS” and “T-BRS” with respect to leisure participation preference. The mean scores of frequent participants were higher than the others in both of the scales. There was a statistically significant positive and moderate correlation between the mean scores of “T-PFLS” and “T-BRS” scores. Conclusion: As a result, active participants reported higher perceived freedom and psychological resilience scores.
