認真休閒參與者退出因素之研究

Abstract

本研究的目的在探討Stebbins所提出的認真休閒理論架構下，是否有退出的可能，以及認真休閒者之退出因素為何。本研究先透過文獻分析法，分析認真休閒者退出的可能性。之後針對登山單車與西洋劍三項活動共七位認真休閒退出者，做開放性之深度訪談。在工作性質改變、生涯轉換的成家立業時期，衡量標準因人生歷程的改變而不同，使認真休閒在休閒角色中的優先度改變而造成退出。本研究得到以下三項結論：第一，認真休閒之正向回饋低於其他休閒活動時，會因優先度的改變而產生退出認真休閒的現象。第二，認真休閒退出之因素為「生命歷程轉變」。第三、退出因素影響認真休閒者，使衡量標準改變，造成休閒活動重心的轉移的過程，是認真休閒者之退出歷程。建議認真休閒者可以參照個體的發展歷程，調整參與認真休閒之方式以延續認真休閒參與。針對後續研究者建議能以生命歷程對休閒參影響做相關研究。並可根據國外發展之認真休閒特性量表，開發適合台灣地區之研究工具，有助後續研究者在認真休閒領域上之發展。
