Description
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between leisure satisfaction and mental health. Data will be collected from surveys administered to college students pursuing health related degrees. Based upon previous research, we expect a strong positive correlation between leisure satisfaction and mental health. Knowledge of the relationship holds potentially important implications for professionals in therapeutic recreation. A strong relationship would support the role of leisure as a contributor to mental health. With this knowledge, therapeutic recreation specialists can develop leisure programs designed to improve people's quality of life.
