Leisure satisfaction

Leisure satisfaction is the positive perceptions or feelings that an individual forms, elicits and gains as a result of engaging in leisure activities and choices. What can contribute to leisure satisfaction is to what degree an individual is currently satisfied with their leisure experiences and activities. An individual might attain positive feelings of contentment and happiness that result from the satisfaction of needs.(Beard & Ragheb, 1980). Participation in leisure activities and leisure satisfaction are inextricably linked to an individual's health.
