Abstract
The purposes of this study were to examine whether or not there are significant age group differences in leisure satisfaction, and to test a leisure satisfaction model. Stratified random sampling was used to identify 400 individuals who would receive a questionnaire. Results (based on N = 221) indicated that the 10 age groups examined did not significantly differ in leisure satisfaction. Of the 8 variables speculated to be related to leisure satisfaction, two predisposing variables—knowledge of leisure resources and leisure values—emerged as having a significant influence. Practical implications and ideas for future research are discussed.Keywords
