We are conducting a study looking at how engagement in and enjoyment of hobbies/leisure interests mediates the relationship between personality and health...
However, finding clear definition and measurement of hobbies/leisure interests/etc is proving difficult
Any suggestions??
That's a good question. I ferreted around a little and seem to have identified a few, though I can't speak to their quality.
The Children's Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment Questionnaire (CAPE; King, 2004) might suit, if you're studying children. Possibly the Leisure Activities Questionnaire (Rechter & Sverdlik, 2016) if you're studying adolescents, or else one of the scales developed by Ingrid Leversen and her colleagues (see attached, but I know she has at least one other). The Activities Participation at Midlife Scale (Stephan, Boiche, Canada, & Terraciano, 2014) if you're working with middle-aged folks. Or, finally, the Leisure Activities Measure (Earl, Gerrans, & Halim, 2015) if you're studying the elderly/retirees.
