Objectives: Research suggests that individuals with physical disabilities use leisure as a way of dealing with stress and receiving social support. A dearth of information exists about the relationships among leisure, coping, and social support. The purpose of this study was to investigate the types of leisure activities associated with coping strategies and social support among Korean individuals with physical disabilities. Methods: We collected data from individuals who registered with the Korea Association of Persons with Physical Disabilities. After obtaining signed consent, 351 participants completed all 3 instruments: Coping Strategy Indicator (CSI), Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Social Support Survey, and Leisure Participation Involvement (LPI). Frequency, descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis were utilized. Results: Certain leisure activities served as predictors of different types of coping strategies and social support. In particular, participation in social activities was identified as the strongest predictor of coping strategies and social support, and physical activity participation was a strong predictor of the avoidance coping strategy. Conclusions: Social and outdoor activities participation provide important avenues for participants to develop the ability to deal with stress and create social support systems.
This study examines the extent to which individual and area-level socioeconomic statuses (SES) correlate with the preferences and participation in physical activities during leisure time. A multistage, random clustered sample taken from the China Health and Nutrition Survey of 2015 was used. Results from multi-level analyses indicated that both individual income and area-level SES were significantly associated with participation in walking, whereas individual educational attainment was positively associated with participation in sports. Moreover, leisure preference mediated the relationship between individual SES, area-level SES, and participation in sports. Based on these findings, this article suggests that both individual and area-level influences should be taken into account when developing health policies to promote active lifestyles. In addition, mediation effect of leisure preference in LTPA should be emphasized when implementing intervention program.
Objectives: Our purpose was to investigate the relationships between leisure types and coping, happiness, and life satisfaction among veterans. Methods: Our sample was 106 veterans. We used hierarchical multiple regression analysis to examine the relationships of the previously identified variables. Demographic variables were entered into the first block of the regression model, and all the demographic variables and types of leisure activities were then entered into the second block. Results: Age, disability status, sports, and volunteer activities were positively associated with the problem-solving coping strategy. Only outdoor activities were positively related to the social support coping strategy. Home-based activities were positively associated with the avoidance coping strategy. Disability status, outdoor activities, and social activities were positively associated with life satisfaction. Age and social activities were positively associated with happiness. Conclusions: Overall, participation in social and outdoor activities was positively associated with active coping, social-seeking coping, life satisfaction, and happiness. This finding supports the literature on leisure and health, suggesting the value of leisure activities as an effective coping strategy and a positive influence on the mental health of veterans.

본 연구는 광역 관광개발 효과를 분석한 연구로 광역 관광개발의 공공투자적 성격을 모형 내에 반영하여 분석을 수행했다. 본 연구는 광역권 관광개발 정책의 효과가 나타나는 경로를 경제 이론에 적합하도록 구성하였다는 점과, 이를 통한 순효과를 정량적으로 분석하였다는 점에서 기존 연구와 차별화된다. 본 연구에서는 정부의 관광개발투자가 반영된 다지역 동태일반균형모형을 구축하고, 실제 국내에서 시행된 남해안 관광개발 정책의 경제적 파급효과를 구축된 모형으로 실증분석했다. 분석 결과 사업 수행 이후 수행 전 대비 연간 약 0.037%(약 6,700억원)의 실질 GDP 파급효과가 나타나는 것으로 분석되었고, 연간 일자리는 0.01%, 총소비는 0.027%, 총자본은 0.011%, 총 투자는 0.01% 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 광역권 관광개발은 일반재 소비를 줄이고 관광서비스에 대한 소비를 증가시키는 효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다.This study analyzed the effects of wide-area tourism development, and analyzed the public-invested nature of wide-area tourism development in the model. This study is differentiated from previous studies in that the route through which the effect of the tourism development policy in the metropolitan area appears was organized in accordance with the economic theory and the quantitative analysis results were presented. In this study, a multi-regional dynamic general equilibrium model reflecting the tourism development policy was established, and the economic ripple effect of the South Coast tourism belt development policy implemented in Korea was empirically analyzed with the constructed model. As a result of the analysis, it was analyzed that the real GDP ripple effect of about 0.037% (approximately 670 billion won) per year appeared after the project was executed, compared to before the execution of the project. In addition, it was analyzed that tourism development in the metropolitan area has the effect of reducing the consumption of general goods and increasing the consumption of tourism services.
Despite the importance and various potentials for the development of the live streaming commerce, previous studies mostly focused only on the characteristics of the platforms, influencers, and customers. This study focuses on the informational characteristics of broadcasting as factors affecting customers’ viewing and purchase intentions in the Chinese market. Five factors were identified for independent variables, including informativity, interactivity, professionality, experimentalism, and trend, and the viewing and purchase intentions were adopted as dependent factors. Two variables of trust and utilitarian values were tested as mediating variables. A total of 246 responses were collected through an online questionnaire survey in the Chinese market, and analyzed by SPSS version 21, using statistical analysis methodologies. The analysis results say that most informational factors had a significant effect on the viewing and purchase intentions in the live streaming commerce. Also, trust and utilitarian values play a mediating role in informational factors’ effects and relationships with dependent factors.
