Abstract
Some of the determinants of leisure participation were identified and investigated. Among those determinants were leisure attitude, age, and sex. Studies investigating the relationships among leisure satisfaction and leisure participation and leisure attitude had not been conclusive. In this study, utilizing step-wise analysis and correlation of coefficient satisfaction was found to be the strongest contributor and predicator of leisure participation, more than any other variables, such as; leisure attitude, income, age, mode of employment, or length of marriage. Years of education and sex were found to be additional determinants of participation. Moreover, leisure satisfaction was the only variable which contributed to leisure attitude. Six categories of leisure were utilized. Leisure satisfaction associated with those categories in this order, the strongest relation was with hobbies, then cultural activities, sports activities, social activities, outdoor activities, and mass media activities.Keywords
