Performing single leisure activity simultaneously requires mental, physical, and social effort. This research aimed to represent the extent of the three components using numerical scores and examined whether the scores are related to mental health. To determine the component scores, 1200 Japanese participants of varied ages chose activities they had ever experienced from 97 choices. They rated each of them regarding their mental, physical, and social efforts to perform it (0-none to 4-high). They also reported their level of psychological resilience and depressive symptoms. Based on the rating frequency, the three component scores for 86 activities were determined (few activities were removed during analysis). Then, a cluster analysis of the component scores classified those activities into 8 groups. Finally, the relationship between the component scores and mental health was examined. Each participant's mental, physical, and social personal scores were calculated by adding the component score (e.g. mental score) of all the activities he/she rated. The individuals with high scores for all three components showed better mental health than those having fewer high-score components. The established scores should be helpful for future research, and it is revealed that exerting effort for all three components through leisure benefits mental health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
