abstract: 'This study analyses the effect of participating in leisure activities on
|
|
|
|
the levels of life satisfaction reported by people with and without
|
|
|
|
disabilities. Particular attention is paid to exploring how different
|
|
|
|
types of leisure activities (e.g. social gatherings, cultural events,
|
|
|
|
active sports, volunteer work, etc.) affect individuals'' life
|
|
|
|
satisfaction and which of them contribute most to improving it. Using
|
|
|
|
longitudinal data at an individual level from the German Socio-Economic
|
|
|
|
Panel, we estimate a ``Probit Adapted OLS (POLS){''''} model which allows
|
|
|
|
us to identity the determinants of life satisfaction by disability
|
|
|
|
status and to control for the unobserved heterogeneity and thus
|
|
|
|
determine cause and effect between the key variables. Although
|
|
|
|
participation in leisure activities increases the life satisfaction
|
|
|
|
scores reported by people with disabilities (except for the
|
|
|
|
participation in public initiatives), this effect is quite different by
|
|
|
|
leisure activity. The participation in leisure activities such as
|
|
|
|
holidays, going out, or attending cultural events and church has a
|
|
|
|
significant positive effect on the life satisfaction of people with
|
|
|
|
disabilities. Event organizers, destination managers, business owners,
|
|
|
|
professionals, governments, and the leisure industry in general must
|
|
|
|
promote and facilitate full access and participation of people with
|
|
|
|
disabilities in all leisure activities, especially in those that
|
|
|
|
contribute more intensely to increasing their life satisfaction scores.
|
|
|
|
The elimination of all disabling barriers, the understanding of their
|
|
|
|
differential needs and the existence of inclusive leisure environments
|
|
|
|
are key elements for improving the life satisfaction of people with
|
|
|
|
disabilities.'
