Abstract

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Leisure Constraints scale
(Alexandris & Caroll, 1997) and to delineate the role of leisure constrains in determining levels of involvement in leisure traditional dancing activities. The participants completed the Leisure Constraints scale (Alexandris & Caroll, 1997) and the Leisure Involvement scale (Kyle et al., 2003). The data supported the factor structure and the internal consistency of the Leisure Constraints scale. Further, the constraint dimensions predicted a considerable amount of variance of involvement in traditional dancing activities. Overall, leisure constraints do seem to play a significant role in the prediction of levels of involvement in the context of traditional dancing activities.
