Abstract
The nature of leisure participation among retirees and the effect of “types” of leisure on life satisfaction were the subject of this study. Even though a wide range of activities were observed, isolate activities were found to be most prevalent. Life satisfaction appeared to be influenced by activity “type”, number of activities, and participation-enjoyment congruence. Supportive of the continuity approach to aging, the results of the study have implications for both pre-retirement counseling and institutional activity programs.Keywords
