Wilkinson, Todd J.; Hansen, Jo-Ida C.
Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v39 n1 p31 Apr 2006
The present study examined relationships between leisure interests and the Big Five personality traits, positive and negative affect, and moods. Regression analysis identified particular personality but not mood or affect variables as significant predictors of leisure factor scores. Further exploration through factor analysis revealed factor structures similar to past research. (Contains 2 tables.)
