1. Development of the Free Time Motivation Scale for Adolescents.

Author

Baldwin, Cheryl K. and Caldwell, Linda L.

Abstract

Developed a self-report measure of adolescent free time motivation based in self-determination theory, using data from 634 seventh graders. The scale measured five forms of motivation (amotivation, external, introjected, identified, and intrinsic motivation). Examination of each of the subscales indicated minimally acceptable levels of fit. The test of the overall model without modification was also minimally acceptable. (SM)

Caldwell, Linda L.

Abstract

Reports development of a battery of scales measuring four dimensions of adolescent leisure experience: boredom, awareness, anxiety, and challenge.

16. Parenting practice, leisure experience, and substance use among South African adolescents

Author

Xie, Hui, Weybright, Elizabeth H., Caldwell, Linda L., Wegner, Lisa, and Smith, Edward A.

Abstract

AbstractThere is limited understanding of parents’ role in positive youth/adolescent development through leisure in developing countries. Using a sample of 6,626 eighth-grade students in South Africa, this study examined the interrelationships among parenting practice, adolescents’ leisure experience, and substance use. Results of structural equation modeling showed that parental leisure involvement was associated with less substance use, while parental leisure overcontrol was associated with greater substance use. The relationship of parental leisure involvement to substance use was mediated by healthy leisure engagement. The relationship of parental leisure overcontrol to substance use, on the other hand, was mediated by leisure boredom and healthy leisure engagement. The model path coefficients had little variation between genders and socioeconomic groups except that parental leisure overcontrol had a stronger positive relationship with leisure boredom for males than for females. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

17. Doing a leisure activity because there is nothing else to do: Related outcomes and intervention effects for adolescents

Author

Motamedi, Mojdeh, Caldwell, Linda L., Weybright, Elizabeth H., Jones, Damon, Wegner, Lisa, and Smith, Edward A.

Abstract

AbstractThis study examined whether a leisure-focused intervention, HealthWise, was related to reduced youth polysubstance use and delayed sexual debut via reducing how often youth did leisure activities because there was nothing else to do. HealthWise was compared to a no-intervention control for 5,610 high school students from eighth to tenth grades in townships near Cape Town, South Africa. Three specific leisure activities were examined: spending time with friends, playing sports, and going to parks. Among girls, spending time with friends because there was nothing else to do significantly mediated the effect of HealthWise on reducing frequent polysubstance use in the past month. For boys, spending time in parks because there was nothing else to do mediated the effect of HealthWise on delayed sexual debut. Results partially supported the HealthWise logic model of impacting risky behaviors via leisure and the value of prevention programs addressing the reasons behind leisure choices.
