Abstract

Although leisure activities play an important role in our lives, a few domestic studies have been conducted in Iran on Serious Leisure and place attachment. The present study aimed to determine the effects of Serious Leisure on place attachment in amateur athletes. The present research was an applied-correlational study based on structural equation modeling. The statistical population consisted of all amateur athletes who had a membership record of at least 6 months in Enghelab Sports Complex of Tehran. The sample size was determined using PASS based on the research objectives and hypotheses. The respondents were selected based on convenience sampling method and questionnaires were distributed among them. Finally, a total of 334 questionnaires were used for data analysis. The required data were collected using Serious Leisure questionnaire (Gold et al., 2008), consisting of 5 subscales and 16 items and place attachment questionnaire (Kyle et al., 2005), consisting of 13 items in 3 subscales. The face and content validity of questionnaires were assessed by 9 academics. A pilot study was also conducted in order to evaluate the construct validity and Cronbach’ s alpha of questionnaires was equal to 0. 951, respectively. The data were statistically analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS-25 and Smart PLS-3. The results showed that Serious Leisure can predict 21% of variances of and place attachment, respectively. Based on the results of structural equation modeling, the impact of Serious Leisure on place attachment of amateur athletes was adequately fitted (SRMR=0. 059). The findings of this study showed, that seriousness in leisure leads to the place attachment of amateur athletes, and can increase participation in physical activity. And can also increase participation in physical activity. In other words, one of the ways to influence people's Leisure Behavior choices is to use systematic pursuit of leisure and to create a place attachment in sports places.
