Document Summary
By the end of this module, you will be able to: define the concept of leisure constraints, understand how constraint theories and models have evolved over time, and, describe the strategies people commonly use to negotiate constraints. Definition of constraint a leisure constraint is any factor that stands between a possible activity and one"s opportunity for involvement in that experience. Criterion variables: criterion variables are used by researchers to determine who participates and who does not, based on the impact of constraints. What are some criterion variables: inability to maintain participation at or increase it to desired levels, ceasing participation in former activities, insufficient enjoyment of current activities. What are some benefits of constraints: resilience and deepened commitment, attention to other goals, discovery of previously unattended capacities, changes in attitude toward life and leisure, goal achievement and well-being. A note on language: term barrier" does not capture full range of explanations of constraints.
