Specifically, this study seeks out whether social capital plays an intermediary role between serious leisure and well-being. Seniors, aged 50 years or older, with serious leisure characteristics in the Kinmen/Matsu Area are used as research samples. Of the 329 questionnaires that were distributed from Dec. 1st to Dec. 30th, 2010, a total of 315 valid returns were analyzed by SPSS 13.0. The findings are as follows:
(1) In general, seniors in Kinmen showed higher mean values in each of the three variables, serious leisure, social capital, and well-being, than seniors in Matsu.
(2) There are significant differences among seniors by their educational levels in the sub-construct of social capital, namely the “standard”.
(3) There exists significantly positive effect from serious leisure to well-being and social capital, as well as from social capital to well-being.
(4) Kinmen seniors showed significantly higher serious leisure in three sub-constructs, “durable benefits”, “unique ethos”, and “identify strongly” than Matsu seniors did.
(5) Kinmen seniors showed significantly higher social capital in “networks”, “norms”, and “trust” than Matsu seniors did.
(6) There exist significant cause-effect relationships from sub-constructs of serious leisure, the “need to persevere”, the “need to persevere”, the “significant personal effort”, the “unique ethos”, and the “identify strongly”, to well-being.
(7) There exist significant cause-effect relationships from sub-constructs of serious leisure, the “need to persevere”, the “planned leisure activity”, the “durable benefits”, the “unique ethos”, the “identify strongly”, to social capital.
(8) There exist significant cause-effect relationships from sub-constructs of social capital, the “networks” and the “trust”, to well-being.
(9) Serious leisure significantly effects well-being. Moreover, the feel of well-being increases with the addition of social capital.
Hence, social capital plays an intermediate role between serious leisure and well-being.
Therefore, this study recommends seniors to increase their level of leisure activity. By taking advantage of social capital to enrich their serious leisure, they shall feel increased well-being. The results will also be provided to the government’s management departments, serving as a reference to the strategy of establishing leisure activities for seniors.
