自由潛水員認真休閒與遊憩專門化歷程之研究

Abstract

本研究旨在探討自由潛水員自初次接觸至高度涉入歷程中的遊憩專門化轉變，聚焦其參與動機、持續涉入、阻礙經驗與因應策略，並解析其在認知、行為與情感層面的整合性變化。研究採質性方法，透過立意取樣選取六位具備國際進階證照且持續參與之自由潛水員，進行半結構式深度訪談。研究結果發現，進階自由潛水員的參與歷程呈現出明顯的階段性發展，包括探索期、專注期與整合期；在此過程中，其行為投入、認知深化與情感涉入亦逐步強化，並與認真休閒六大特質交互影響，形塑個人身份認同與生活風格。研究最後建議，自由潛水訓練機構應重視學員參與動機與學習歷程的支持系統，並從專業化角度設計持續進修路徑，以促進參與者的長期投入。

This study aims to explore the recreational specialization process of freedivers, from initial exposure to deep involvement, with a focus on their participation motivation, sustained involvement, perceived constraints, and coping strategies. It also examines the integrative changes across cognitive, behavioral, and affective dimensions. Adopting a qualitative approach, six advanced freedivers holding internationally recognized certifications and demonstrating ongoing participation were selected through purposive sampling and interviewed using a semi-structured, in-depth format.The findings reveal a distinct stage-based developmental trajectory consisting of the exploratory phase, the focused phase, and the integrative phase. Throughout these stages, participants exhibited progressive enhancements in behavioral commitment, cognitive understanding,and emotional involvement. These developments were intertwined with the six characteristics of serious leisure, shaping their identity formation and lifestyle. The study recommends that freediving training institutions emphasize motivational and learning support systems, and design professional development pathways to foster long-term engagement and holistic growth among participants.
