Abstract

The present study examined the factor structure, internal consistency, and predictive validity of the Leisure Involvement Scale (Kyle, Graefe, Manning, & Bacon, 2003) translated into Greek. Data were collected from 173 members of socialization clubs in the area of Central Macedonia in northern Greece. Of the total sample, 131 (75.6%) women participated in traditional dancing leisure activities. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the three-dimensional factor structure of the scale. In addition, high internal consistency estimates and predictive validity evidence emerged via the correlations of the subscale scores with levels of psychological commitment and participants’ levels of satisfaction. Overall, the results provided initial support for the psychometric properties of the Greek version of the Leisure Involvement Scale.
