The previous studies have shown that leisure activities helped people cope with stress . Nowadays, the most popular dimension of leisure coping scale was developed by Iwasaki and Mannell in 2000. However, it has been sometimes criticized with the following disadvantages: 1. the structure is unbalanced. 2. The questionnaire is cumbersome in number of questions, particularly in psychological factors. In this research, a concise leisure coping scale based on the concept of holistic health including physical, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions was initially developed. After consulting experts with the scale, most of them suggest that the items of the spiritual factors in the survey should be deleted. The revised questionnaire consists of personal information of respondents, the leisure coping scale and the hierarchical dimension of leisure stress coping serving as test of criterion-related validity. 380 observations were collected and analyzed. Through internal reliability and confirmatory factor analysis, the result shows an acceptable fit in the overall factors. There are advantages of the leisure coping scale: 1. It is holistic-health based. 2. It is concise with 20 questions. 3. It is developed for Taiwanese. |
