ABSTRACT

The purpose of the article is to explore the role of participation in organized leisure activities in young teenagers’ emotional place relations. Data from a survey of students in lower secondary schools were analysed using multivariate linear regression models to address the research questions concerning whether participation in organized leisure activities was associated with more positive community assessments in youths in line with early Nordic welfare theory and the role played by socio-economic hardships and gender in the association. The results showed that for boys there were no indications of a general positive association between participation in organized leisure activities and community assessments, while for girls the association was modest. Students who experienced socio-economic hardships had more negative assessments of community compared with well-off students, even when they participated in organized leisure activities. The author discusses the results according to a welfare theory approach to emotional place relations, supplemented by other theoretical perspectives. From a theoretical perspective, the findings point to social exclusion and inclusion dynamics instead of early Nordic welfare theory approaches to leisure participation. The author concludes that gender, class and school relations are strongly associated with young teenagers’ emotional place relations.

摘要

本文的目的是探讨在青少年的情感场所关系中参与有组织的休闲活动的作用。使用多元线性回归模型对来自初中学生的调查数据进行了分析，以解决以下研究问题：根据北欧福利早期理论，青少年是否参加有组织的休闲活动是否与更积极的社区评估相关联？协会中的社会经济困难和性别。结果表明，对于男孩来说，没有迹象表明参加有组织的休闲活动与社区评估之间普遍呈正相关，而对女孩而言，这种关联是适度的。与富裕的学生相比，经历过社会经济困难的学生对社区的负面评价更高，即使他们参加了有组织的休闲活动。作者根据福利理论方法对情感场所关系进行讨论，并辅以其他理论观点。从理论的角度来看，研究结果指向社会排斥和包容的动态，而不是早期的北欧福利理论中休闲参与的方法。作者得出结论，性别，班级和学校的关系与青少年的情感场所关系密切相关。其他理论观点的补充。从理论的角度来看，研究结果指向社会排斥和包容的动态，而不是早期的北欧福利理论中休闲参与的方法。作者得出结论，性别，班级和学校关系与青少年的情感场所关系密切相关。其他理论观点的补充。从理论的角度来看，研究结果指向社会排斥和包容的动态，而不是早期的北欧福利理论中休闲参与的方法。作者得出结论，性别，班级和学校的关系与青少年的情感场所关系密切相关。
