ABSTRACT

This report addresses the proposition that young people's self-management of peer group leisure activities results in higher levels of satisfaction with them and makes them more meaningful and impactful. This study collected information in a self-administered questionnaire about the type of leisure spaces and management strategies used by young people aged 16–18 years old and addressed issues related to school time and free time. The sample under study was comprised of students in public, subsizised, and private schools in Northern Spain. The primary purposes of this study were thus to determine where, in which activities, organizational responsibility was taken and whether doing so contributed to the meaning and value of the experience. Analysis of variance and correlational analysis of survey results established that assuming responsibility for the organization of an activity is associated with greater enjoyment and activity satisfaction among young people, as well as making the activity more important in their lives. The greatest implication for the provision of activities at this period of adolescence and youth is that participants be afforded the opportunity for self-management.

摘要

本报告阐述了年轻人对同龄群体休闲活动的自我管理导致对他们的更高水平的满意度并使他们更有意义和有影响力的命题。本研究在一份自我管理的问卷中收集了有关 16-18 岁年轻人使用的休闲空间类型和管理策略的信息，并解决了与上学时间和空闲时间相关的问题。研究样本包括西班牙北部公立、资助和私立学校的学生。因此，本研究的主要目的是确定组织责任在何处、在哪些活动中承担，以及这样做是否有助于体验的意义和价值。对调查结果的方差分析和相关分析表明，承担组织活动的责任与年轻人的更大乐趣和活动满意度有关，并使活动在他们的生活中更加重要。在青春期和青年时期提供活动的最大意义是为参与者提供自我管理的机会。
