遊憩涉入與遊憩專門化關係之研究——兼論社會支持調節效果

A Study of the Relation between Recreation Involvement and Recreation Specialization: Moderating Effect of Social Support

本研究旨在檢驗遊憩涉入與遊憩專門化二者間的關係，更進一步探討社會支持的功能性在其間關係的調節效果。研究對象以中部地區自行車遊憩活動的參與者進行問卷調查，共獲得598份有效問卷。以偏最小平方法結構方程模式進行統計分析。研究結果顯示，自行車活動參與者遊憩涉入對遊憩專門化有正向影響，另研究證實社會支持的功能性支持（情感、自尊、實質及資訊）在遊憩涉入與遊憩專門化中具有部分調節效果，亦即在有高度的社會支持者的情形下，遊憩涉入對遊憩專門化正向關連性高於低度的社會支持。遊憩參與者於持續參與遊憩活動過程中，應藉以休閒社交圈的建立，以及家人、親友的支持，強化社會支持功能性，方可提昇其遊憩專門化的程度。

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between recreation involvement and recreation specialization and to analyze the moderating effect of social supports. A total of 598 valid questionnaires were collected from biking recreation activity participants in the central area of Taiwan. Partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modeling was applied. One of the results showed that biking participants’ recreation involvement had a positive influence on recreation specialization. It also proved that function support of social supports (emotional support, esteem support, tangible support, and informational support) had a part moderating effect on recreation involvement and recreation specialization; that is, with higher social supports, recreation involvement had a more positive relation on recreation specialization. In addition, while taking part in recreation activities, participants should build recreation social worlds, gain the support of family and relatives, and enhance function support of social supports, so as to increase the degree of recreation specialization.
