Parent and Child Perspectives of Family Leisure Involvement and Satisfaction with Family Life
Year: 2003
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between family leisure involvement and satisfaction with family life. The sample consisted of 179 families. Data were analyzed at the parent, child, and family level. Findings indicated that family leisure involvement was the strongest multivariate predictor of family satisfaction from the parent perspective, but was not a significant multivariate predictor from the child's perspective. At the family level of measurement, only the block including Core and Balance family leisure variables explained a significant portion of the variance in family satisfaction. History of divorce was a negative multivariate predictor of family satisfaction across all three perspectives. The nature of the relationships, implications, and recommendations for future research are discussed.
