Stress and Leisure Preferences
The Free Time Perspective
Stress can affect the perception of leisure time and free activities by reducing enjoyment, limiting recreational choices, and influencing leisure preferences. In the U.S., individuals may experience stress-related changes in leisure time perceptions.
To maximize leisure enjoyment, practice stress management techniques such as hobby exploration, relaxation techniques, and unplugging from work. Addressing stress promotes a balanced approach to leisure activities and enhances overall well-being.
