中高齡者休閒參與、休閒阻礙及其協商策略

Leisure Participation, Leisure Constraints and Negotiation Strategies of Middle-Aged and Older Adults

本研究針對中高齡者從事休閒活動所面臨之阻礙與所採取的協商策略進行探討，採用結構式問卷調查，利用AMOS統計軟體進行分析。研究結果顯示，中高齡者所承受的各種休閒阻礙均不高，其中以人際間阻礙為最高；所參與休閒遊憩活動最主要為觀光遊憩構面，其次為視聽娛樂、知識藝文及社交等類型；所採取的協商策略以改善人際關係為最多，增加休閒活動技能居次。本研究證實了休閒阻礙與中高齡者的休閒參與程度有顯著負相關；休閒阻礙與中高齡者的休閒阻礙協商策略存在顯著負相關；同時，休閒阻礙協商策略與中高齡者的休閒參與程度有顯著正相關。如何促進中高齡者運用休閒阻礙協商策略，並降低休閒阻礙以提高休閒參與，有待進一步研究探討。

This study explored the constraints faced by middle-aged and older adults in engaging in leisure activities and the negotiation strategies they adopt. We used a structured questionnaire and analyzed the results with AMOS statistical software. The findings indicate that middle-aged and older adults have few leisure constraints, with interpersonal constraints being the highest. The study participants primarily engaged in leisure and recreational activities in the form of sightseeing, followed by audio-visual recreation, knowledge, arts and culture, socialization, and other types. The most common negotiation strategy adopted was improving interpersonal relationships, followed by improving leisure activity skills. This study found a significant negative correlation between leisure constraints and the leisure participation degree of middle-aged and older adults. There was a significant negative correlation between leisure constraints and the leisure constraint negotiation strategies of middle-aged and older adults. At the same time, there was a significant positive correlation between the leisure constraint negotiation strategies and the leisure participation degree of middle-aged and older adults. Further research is required to explore effective ways to promote middle-aged and older adults’use of leisure constraint negotiation strategies while reducing leisure constraints to increase leisure participation.
