本研究之主要目的在於探討認真休閒者其特質、社會支持網絡及休閒效益三個面向。採質化深度訪談，以半結構式的訪談大綱來蒐集資料，透過立意取樣的方式選取八項休閒運動項目，分別為太極拳、木球、爬山、自行車、游泳、鐵人三項、羽球及跑步的參與者，年資從5至36年，年齡介於29至80歲間，共計男性8位、女性2位。結果發現：認真休閒者特質，以「堅持不懈」、「努力」、「持久性利益」及「生涯性」特質最為顯著，此外「獨特的精神」及「強烈的認同感」這兩項特質則感受較弱；社會網絡人數平均是4.1位，且認定較為重要的人關係別為「朋友」及「配偶」，且社會網絡關係成員皆能提供社會支持，以「情感性支持」、「訊息性支持」及「評價性支持」為主要支持來源；休閒效益最受重視的是「生理效益」及「社交效益」。
