Leisure Motivations, Leisure Benefits and Leisure Constraints of Diver in Ken-ting / 墾丁水肺潛水者休閒動機、休閒效益與休閒阻礙

碩士 / 臺北市立大學 / 休閒運動管理學系暨碩士班 / 102 / The purpose of this study was to identify the demographic distribution, the current situations of leisure motivations, leisure benefits, and leisure constraints, as well as the differences and correlations among leisure motivations, leisure benefits, and leisure constraints of divers in Ken-ting. The research targets are divers who dive in Ken-ting diving areas. Purposive sampling was adopted to administrate questionnaires. 450 questionnaires were handed out and 434 valid ones were retrieved with validation rate of 96%. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, factor analysis, t-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson's product-moment correlation, and multiple stepwise regression analysis. The results are as follows:
1.There are 396 male divers in Ken-ting which account for
68.20% of the research participants; 215 divers are
between age of 30 to 39 (79.50%); there are 71 divers
living in Kaohsiung area (16.40%) and 66 living in Chiayi
City (15.20%); 258 divers are married (59.40%); 261 diver
possess college or higher degree (60.10%); 172 divers
have participated in diving activities from one year to
five years (39.60%) ; 196 divers participate in diving
activities twice a month (46.20%) ; and there are 430
divers willing to volunteer in ocean cleaning activities
(99.10%).
2.Competence-mastery was scored the highest in leisure
motivations which suggested diving might demonstrate the
abilities of surpassing the self-limitation and obtain
the sense of self-achievements. Physical benefit was
scored the highest in leisure benefits which suggested
that diving could improve the Cardio-respiratory capacity
and fitness, eliminate fatigue, as well as maintain the
physical well-being so that participants could feel
energetic. Constructive constraints was scored the
highest in leisure constraints which suggested weather,
traffic, facilities, locations, and cost of equipment
would have effects on the diving participation of divers
in Ken-ting..
3.Leisure motivations among divers from various backgrounds
are significantly different. The more frequent and the
longer participation of diving are, the higher leisure
motivations would be.
4.The regression analysis showed, there was moderate
correlation between the leisure motivations and leisure
benefits of divers in Ken-ting. The results also
indicated, competence-mastery and escape-stress in
leisure motivations had better predictability on leisure
benefits. The higher competence-mastery and escape-
stress, the better leisure benefits would be.
The conclusions are as follows:
Divers view diving as one of the indispensable leisure activities and consider diving as the opportunity to make new friends with common interests. Divers can also obtain the sense of self-achievements from diving and release their stress, improve physiology, and enhance physical strength. 99.10% divers are willing to volunteer in ocean protection activities therefore the government should advocate diving activities in Ken-ting diving areas enthusiastically which would not only benefit the health of divers but also contribute to the marine environment protection.
