Abstract
For too long leisure researchers have often been identifiable as either empiricists or theorists. They have, in essence, polarized leisure research and too seldom expended the extra effort needed to effect the proper balance between theory and statistics necessary for sound research. Presented is an example using factor analysis and the relationship to theory and the too often neglected role of theory in building the bridge of meaningful research between the empiricists and the theorists. This presentation suggests a vital and symbiotic relationship between theory and factor analysis, with theory being the necessary and neglected focusing agent for both factor analysis and meaningful leisure research.
