Book excerpt: Abstract: The present investigation was designed to examine the relationships between leisure participation, leisure satisfaction, and life satisfaction in college students. The participants (N = 171) were freshman students at Springfield College, Massachusetts. Based on the demographic information provided by participants, 94 were male (55%) and 77 were female (45%). Of all the participants, 71 worked part time while attending school, and 100 did not work. The average age was 18. 5 for all. The Pearson product moment correlation coefficients were computed to determine the relationships between leisure participation, leisure satisfaction, and life satisfaction. A significant positive relationship was found between leisure participation and leisure satisfaction (HP =.005). No significant relationship existed between leisure participation and life satisfaction (p =.333). A significant positive relationship between leisure satisfaction and life satisfaction was found (p = .002). Although significant relationships were found between leisure participation and leisure satisfaction, and between leisure satisfaction and life satisfaction, the correlations were weak. Additional study is recommended to identify other factors that could be related to leisure and life satisfaction in college students.
