| Abstract | This paper considers change in subjective well-being from engagement in leisure activities, encompassing the arts, culture and sport. Using UK data from waves 2 (2010–2011) and 5 (2013–2014) of Understanding Society, ordered logit, generalized ordered logit, ANCOVA and change score analysis assesses the effects of changing levels of engagement in leisure activities on four measures of subjective well-being, satisfaction with life overall, amount of leisure time, health and job. We find positive changes in (1) life satisfaction from increased engagement in arts events, historical sites and museums, (2) leisure satisfaction from arts activities and events, (3) health satisfaction from arts events and historical sites and (4) well-being measures from increased participation in moderate- and mild-intensity sport. Benefits do not translate to job satisfaction, suggesting a separation of this domain of well-being from leisure. Our analysis suggests important, but differentiated, positive change in well-being from greater engagement in the arts, culture and sport. |
Measuring changes in subjective well‑being from engagement in the arts, culture and sport. do changes in engagement in arts cultural and sporting leisure activities have differentiated impacts on satisfaction with life overall and individual well-being domains leisure time health and job. this follows the approach of lim and putnam who applied these methods to explore the impacts of religion on subjective well-being using the us faith study and wheatley who used understand- ing society to explore the impacts of discretion in paid work on subjective well- being. leisure satisfaction benefits are also found arising from higher levels of engagement in arts activities and events historical sites and both moderate and mild sports. in addition to the findings suggesting a number of subjective well-being ben- efits may be derived from changes in engagement in the arts culture and sport we further extend the literature on the well-being impacts of these leisure activities by identifying that these impacts are differentiated by type of activity and measure of well-being.
