Das Musikleben Deutschlands ist im Verhältnis zur Einwohnerzahl als wesentlicher (freizeitgestalterischer) Bestandteil der Kultur einzuschätzen. Der Forschungsstand zur Motivation des Musizierens in der Freizeit ist im Verhältnis dazu jedoch als mangelhaft zu beurteilen und weist zudem bedeutende Schwächen hinsichtlich empirischer Methoden und Messinstrumente auf. Ähnliches gilt auch für den Freizeitsport. Im Rahmen einer explorativen Untersuchung zur Motivation von Amateurmusizierenden im Vergleich zu Amateursporttreibenden wurden 214 Amateurmusiker (zumeist Blasmusiker, davon 95 weiblich) und 123 Amateurfußballer (davon 12 weiblich) zu ihren Beweggründen für die Ausübung ihrer Freizeittätigkeit befragt. Es handelte sich dabei um eine Online-Befragung in Kooperation mit dem „Hessischen Musikverband (HMV)“ und dem „Hessischen Fußball-Verband (HFV)“. Ziel war dabei unter anderem die Validierung einer neuen, in deutsche Sprache übersetzten Fassung der „Leisure Motivation Scale“ („LMS“, Beard & Ragheb, 1983). Sowohl die englische Originalfassung wie auch die deutsche Fassung zeigen ähnlich hohe Reliabilitäten für die vier Skalen ‚intellektuell‘ (engl. intellectual), ‚sozial‘ (engl. social), ‚Kompetenz/Beherrschung‘ (engl. competency/mastery) und ‚Vermeidung‘ (engl. stimulus avoidance). Die Ergebnisse weisen deutlich darauf hin, dass in den untersuchten Domänen vornehmlich das Bedürfnis nach Anschluss, also der Kontakt zu anderen Menschen sowie gemeinsames Handeln, von Bedeutung ist. Der statistisch nachgewiesene inhaltliche Zusammenhang der Skalen deutet auf eine noch zu verbessernde Konstruktvalidität hin. Die teils deutlichen Unterschiede zwischen den Reliabilitäten beider Teilstichproben geben Grund zu weiterführenden methodischen Überlegungen. Eine mögliche Erklärung sind methodische Fehler bei der Entwicklung der Originalfassung des eigentlich als allgemeingültig für jede Art von Freizeitaktivitäten designten Fragebogens. Die deutsche Fassung der „LMS“ („LMS-d“) erwies sich als überaus praktikabel und ökonomisch einsetzbar. Vor dem Hintergrund der statistischen Schwächen ist jedoch eine Überarbeitung für nachfolgende Anwendungen anzuraten.

The purpose of this study was to determine leisure motivations for college club swimmers in the United States, and to examine differences in motivation by swimmers' gender, university affiliation, ethnicity, and frequency of participation. College club swimmers from a nationwide sample completed the Leisure Motivation Scale (LMS) to assess the strength and differences of varying motivational factors for club swimming participation. Results indicated that social and competency-mastery motivational factors were the most important for this participatory group, and that motivational differences existed based upon respondent university affiliation, ethnicity (White/non-White) and frequency of participation.

Understanding the motivation and satisfaction of yoga consumers is of critical importance for both leisure service providers and leisure researchers to enhance the sustainability of personal lives in terms of physical wellness and mental happiness. For this purpose, this study investigated 25,120 pairs of online ratings and reviews from 100 yoga centres in Shanghai, China using latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA)-based text mining, and successfully established the relationship between rating and review. Findings suggest that Chinese yogis are motivated by improving physical condition, improving psychological condition, gracing appearance, establishing social connection, and creating social isolation. In addition to teaching mainstream yoga, yoga centres also provide additional courses. From a consumer perspective, yogis are relatively satisfied with teachers, courses, and the environment, but complain about the supporting staff, membership price, and reservation service. Managerially, yoga centres are encouraged to continue attending to the motivations of yogis, specialising their guidance, and fostering strengths and circumventing weaknesses in their service. This study also contributes by verifying, elaborating on, and tentatively extending the framework of the Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale (PALMS).

This study commented on Utecht and Aldag's (1989) vacation-discrepancy study. We adapted Beard and Ragheb's 1983 leisure motivation scale to the study of vacations. Using a person's vacation as a frame of reference, prevacation expectations and postvacation satisfactions were studied in a convenience sample of 40 working adults and 146 college students. High (.80 and above) coefficient alphas were observed for the Beard and Ragheb scales of Intellectual, Social, Competence/Mastery, and Stimulus Avoidance as well as two additional motivation scales of Thrill-seeking and Work advantages. Difference-score reliabilities were estimated for the case where a discrepancy measure is formed for pre- versus postvacation referents; these were .80 or higher for all six measures. Results were discussed in terms of applying leisure constructs and measures to vacation research as well as the psychometric adequacy of the individual scale and discrepancy measures.

The factors that motivate college students to participate in leisure activities play a key role in better understanding participation patterns in campus recreational sports. This study utilized the Leisure Motivation Scale developed by Beard and Ragheb (1983) to determine factors that motivated college students' leisure choices. The purpose of this study was to examine motivational differences in students who participated regularly in campus recreational sports and students who did not regularly participate in campus recreational sports. The sample consisted of 631 students from two universities. The results indicated that students who did not participate regularly in campus recreational sports were seeking rewards from their leisure such as rest, escape and solitude, as well as the opportunity to use their imagination and learn. Students who regularly participated in campus recreational sports revealed that they were motivated to participate because of physical activity, challenge, and competition. In addition, differences in gender and overall motivation for leisure participation were examined.
