| Annotation | As the ageing population grows and their life expectancy increases, one concern is how to live a happy and healthy later life; in other words, how to age successfully. In this sense, leisure is one important aspect of successful ageing. This study examined the relationship between different types of serious leisure and successful ageing in later life. Participants whose serious leisure activity included a high social component were more likely to engage more seriously. However, there were no significant differences between different types of serious leisure activity and successful ageing. This research suggests that older adults have broad choices of leisure activities to experience successful ageing. (RH). |
