オンライン調査を用いた事例研究

抄録

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between involvement with the masters games participation and interdependent happiness across leisure participation patterns. An online survey was conducted and useable data were collected from 449 Japanese who participated in masters games within the last three years. They were categorized into the four patterns : continuers, adders, replacers, and starters. Results of stepwise regression analysis showed that interdependent happiness was positively associated with all three involvement factors (attraction, centrality, social bonding) among continuers and adders, and with attraction and social bonding among starters. Our findings indicated that although the relationships appear to vary between the leisure participation patterns (continuers and adders vs. replacers and starters) based on sport experiences from their school days, participating in masters games appears to contribute to their happiness.
