- Despite its obviousness, the field of leisure research has lacked an empirical method to discover the underlying determinants of definitions of leisure
- Based upon Kelly's and Neulinger's theoretical models, the present study sought to determine the relative contributions of perceived freedom, motivation and work-relation to male and female college students' perceptions of leisure
- The results first revealed that each factor had a significant effect on the subjects' responses, thereby suggesting that freedom, motivation and work-relation all contribute independently and additively to the subjects' definition of leisure
- Sex differences further qualified these findings in that the interactive effects of freedom and work-relation were true for the male respondents but not when the female subjects' perceptions were considered
