| Annotation | This US study explored the relationship between time spent in leisure and the life satisfaction of older adults. Questionnaires regarding demographics, life satisfaction, and time spent in leisure were distributed to 51 subjects aged 60 years and over. The results from this study were not statistically significant, and the hypothesis, life satisfaction is higher in older adults who spend a greater amount of time engaged in leisure activity each week, was rejected. However, the life satisfaction of the subjects was found to be normal to high while their degree of leisure participation was also high. (AKM). |
