Strategic Negotiation Factors in Participating at Recreational Sport Activities Aiming at the Well-being and the Presentation of Perma Scale for the Greek Population

The engagement of people with physical activity is an indication in modern societies of the physical, spiritual and mental health as well as of the living standards and quality of life of the community. The creation of green recreation areas contributes to the increase of individual viability and quality of life by connecting modern people to the natural environment. They promote both outdoor physical activities and social activities as well as mental health. The purpose of this research is as follows: (a) to investigate the negotiating strategies for engaging in recreational sports and how they are associated with well-being and (b) to adjust the PERMA-profiler questionnaire for the Greek population, on a sample of 233 people living in the urban area of Athens in Greece. This research tested the link between different profiles and negotiation strategies. The PERMA-profiler scale provides another tool for the wellness measurement toolbox and demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties in a large, varied, international sample and was piloted in the present study in the urban area of Athens. This tool, combined with negotiation strategies, would help people understand better themselves, note their strengths and weaknesses and find ways to develop more fully in life while exercising.
