| Popis: | 97 In this study, we further argue that the elderly’s leisure participation in terms of types and frequencies activities are affected by patterns of social supports they give and receive, and the balance of social supports. Taking a large scale survey data set collected in Health and Living Status of the Elderly in Taiwan that was carried out by Taiwan’s Bureau of Health Promotion of the Department of Health in 2003. This study uses logistic regression and multiple linear regression analysis to identify the various socio-demographic factors and social supports that affect the elders’ participation in leisure activities. The results of this study demonstrate that the types and frequencies of leisure activities are significantly related to the elderly’s socio-demographic characteristics, the patterns of social supports they give and receive, and the balance of social supports. But they are different from the type of leisure activities. Findings indicates that when leisure and gerontology professions plan and design the elders’ leisure activities, they need to help them to provide and receive more expressive supports, reduce their pressure of giving instrumental supports and barriers of leisure activities participation. |
