Exploring Relationship of Personality's Models and Constructs of Leisure

The purpose of this paper has been analyzed the relationship of personality's models and constructs of leisure (leisure satisfaction, leisure attitude and leisure motivation). We chose universities of Tehran for case study. Participants (N=195) completed an online internet survey containing four measures and a demographic information: The Mini-IPIP, the Leisure Satisfaction Scale, The Leisure Attitude Scale and the Leisure Motivation Scale. Pearson correlations, MANOVA and canonical correlation were the statistical analyses used to determine the results. The study of personality can allow individuals to further understand themselves and others. The study of leisure can assist individuals to find satisfaction in work and life. Results of this paper presented that extraversion had significantly positively related to both leisure satisfaction and leisure motivation. Neuroticism had significantly negatively related to leisure satisfaction. Conscientiousness had significantly positively related to both leisure satisfaction and leisure attitude. Agreeableness had significantly positively related to leisure satisfaction. Also, canonical correlation analysis revealed that the two sets of variables (personality and leisure) were significantly related.
