休閒涉入對個體靈性之影響

The Impact of Leisure Involvement on Individual Spirituality

本研究以休閒涉入對個體靈性之影響程度為研究主題，以吸引力、自我表現及生活型態的中心性等三個變項衡量休閒涉入，採用個體的健康情形、快樂程度、成就感及生活的充實感等四個變項來衡量個體靈性。研究方法問卷調查與SPSS統計分析工具，運用項目分析、敘述統計、差異分析、相關分析及迴歸分析法，分析調查結果。研究結果發現休閒涉入與整體個體靈性間呈現顯著低度正相關，驗證Harlos（2000）所主張的謙遜、慈悲與簡單原則對於個體靈性的影響，休閒涉入因與簡單的原則相衝突，如要提昇個體靈性，休閒活動並非最佳的選擇。另外，研究也發現休閒涉入程度對於個體健康的助益似乎也不高，休閒能降低壓力促進健康的觀念可能需修訂，但保持健康與快樂的心情，個人成就感與生活充實感就會相對提高，對於個體靈性提昇亦有幫助。

The purpose of this study is to address the impact of leisure involvement on individual spirituality. Three constructs, including attraction, self-expression, and centrality to lifestyle, are adopted to measure leisure involvement, whereas four constructs, including physical condition, happiness, achievement, and fulfillment of life, are used to evaluate individual spirituality. Data collection is via paper-based questionnaires, whereas data analysis is via SPSS statistical tool, including item analysis, descriptive statistics, comparative analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression.The present study indicates a low positive correlation between leisure involvement and spirituality. This finding is consistent with Harlos' (2000) study that humility, mercy, and simple principle have the impact on spirituality, while leisure involvement contradicts simple principle. Therefore, leisure is not one of the best ways to enhance spirituality. Moreover, the present study reveals that there is no correlation between leisure involvement and physical condition. The finding provides a direction for modifying the fact that leisure can lead to a decrease in pressures and an increase in health. However, keeping good physical condition and happiness can not only enhance individual achievement and fulfillment of life, but also increase individual spirituality.
