Abstract

This study examined whether spouse support moderates the relation between serious leisure (Stebbins, 1992) and spouses' perceived leisure-family conflict. Buchanan's (1985) perspective on leisure commitment as affective attachment, side bets, and behavioral consistency was used to measure commitment to serious leisure. Subjects were 342 spouses of runners who responded to a survey. Results of hierarchical moderated regression analyses showed the relationship between runners' commitment and leisure-family conflict was moderated by spouses' level of support for running. Implications of spouses' support for leisure interests are discussed with recommendations that future research address balance between leisure and family.
