台灣近幾十年來科技發達與貿易國際化的結果導致人們工作時數逐漸減少,但因工作而產生的疲累與壓力卻絲毫未減少或甚至更多,因此隨著個人經濟能力的增加,人們對於生活和休閒的品質也能更加重視。學者自此開始了解休閒研究的重要性,而有關休閒的研究也愈來愈多。但遺憾的是,以前的休閒研究,大多著重在休閒活動參與的情形,如休閒類別、休閒頻率等,很少從心理學的觀點來探討休閒。 本文的目的乃在提出休閒的社會心理學的三個概念:休閒態度、休閒體驗與歸因、休閒與家庭動力,以了解休閒行爲、提昇休閒教育和休閒規劃。 本文的第一部分是探討社會心理學的這三個概念與人類休閒行爲的相關性。第二部分別針對休閒生活提出六點建議: 1.經常調查國人的休閒態度 2.推廣休閒教育 3.避免金錢誘因介入休閒活動 4.發展個人獨特的休閒活動 5.重視夫妻共同的休閒活動 6.注重家庭休閒活動

To develop common leisure activities between husband and wife. 6. To encourage family leisure activities.
