RESEARCH ON LEISURE PARTICIPATION FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS: PERSPECTIVE OF LEISURE EDUCATION

Based on the perspective of leisure education, combined with the constraints theory of leisure, this article uses a literature review and survey to analyze the elementary structure of leisure behavior promotion. This study consists of two parts; the first part is intended to construct the supposed framework by analysis of related research about leisure constraints theory, the leisure elements model and leisure behavior. The second part is a survey of 423 university students to demonstrate the supposed framework. The results show that the appreciation of leisure, awareness of self in leisure and physical activity skills are related to intrapersonal constraints; social interaction during leisure is related to interpersonal constraints; facilitating leisure and leisure time planning are related to structural constraints. Education on the appreciation of leisure, awareness of self in leisure, physical activity skills in social interaction during leisure, facilitation of leisure resources and leisure time planning can be used to realize leisure constraints negotiation, promoting the students' leisure behavior.
