The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and related restrictive measures have impacted on leisure activities globally; South Korea is no exception. In this cross-sectional study we identified the need to increase leisure opportunities during social distancing and respond to changes in leisure activities post-COVID-19. The leisure attitude, stress-related growth, and quality of life of 260 participants were examined via an online survey. Data were analyzed through structural equation modeling. Results show that during social distancing, leisure attitude was positively associated with stress-related growth, leisure attitude was not significantly associated with quality of life, and stress-related growth was positively associated with quality of life. From a long-term perspective, as leisure activities can improve stress-related growth and quality of life, education and related discussions must continue to ensure that people hold a positive attitude toward leisure participation.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has not only caused economic loss but has also halted many activities related to daily life (e.g., education) and expanded noncontact services. In response, field experts and scholars are holding a discourse on the global implications of COVID-19 and presenting related problems and solutions from multiple aspects.

The government in South Korea (hereafter, Korea) has implemented various policies to overcome the COVID-19 crisis, including social distancing, which was mandated on March 22, 2020. Subsequently, owing to the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak, quarantine measures were implemented in three stages, and these were further subdivided into five stages designated as 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3 by the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters. The government also executed an administrative order prohibiting private gatherings of five or more people. Such restrictions on daily activities have induced fatigue in people (H. S. Lim, 2021).

Unlike cases of other infectious diseases, such as Middle East respiratory syndrome and severe acute respiratory syndrome, the COVID-19 pandemic has persisted for a long time. The pandemic has brought about many unprecedented changes, a major one of which relates to leisure activities. To dispel the anxiety and depression arising from fear of the disease as well as the related restrictive measures, it is imperative to promote leisure activities through a strong social support system. Given the infeasibility of direct contact, it is necessary to consider establishing countermeasures such as non-face-to-face leisure programs and customized leisure services through continued and targeted research by region, age, and socioeconomic status. van Leeuwen et al. (2020) explained that stress, anxiety, and confusion have increased because of the COVID-19 outbreak, as daily routines change with people spending increasing amounts of time at home. During lockdowns work and childcare are all performed at home; at the same time, engagement in social-media-related leisure, games, and television (streaming services) have increased. In The Netherlands, more traditional leisure activities were reported, such as gardening, reading, and board games, than those listed above (van Leeuwen et al., 2020). In Korea too, according to Internet search trends (Jung et al., 2020), slight relaxations in social distancing guidelines have greatly increased people’s interest in leisure activities, such as traveling and going to restaurants and pubs.

With COVID-19 vaccine rollouts proving a global challenge, leisure activities continue to be performed without face-to-face interaction, whether indoors or outdoors (Y. N. Park, 2020). People’s preferences for leisure activities are also changing (J. H. Lee, 2021). In summary, we can speculate that social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on leisure activities and subsequently on leisure attitude (LA), stress-related growth (SRG), and quality of life (QoL). There is an urgent need for researchers to examine leisure from a new perspective, study the role of leisure, and determine whether leisure activities are necessary tools for improving QoL during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, in this study we analyzed the relationships of the LA, SRG, and QoL of people who continually and positively participate in leisure activities while maintaining physical distancing requirements. Further, we explored the increasing participation in leisure activities and their changing paradigms during the COVID-19 pandemic to present a matrix for new leisure activities.

Theoretical Background

Social Distancing

With challenges relating to the global vaccine rollout, the practice of nonpharmaceutical interventions—as opposed to prescription of antibiotics and use of vaccines—can increase the efficiency of quarantine measures to mitigate local virus transmission (Greenstone & Nigam, 2020). Nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) pertain to all behaviors related to disease prevention or health maintenance not only within but also outside the healthcare system (Kirscht, 1983). According to Ferguson et al. (2020), there are three types of NPIs: First, isolation prevents the spread of the disease by secluding people with pre-existing or poor health conditions. Second, quarantine separates people who may have been exposed to the disease by restricting their movement to within their residence for 14 days. Last, social distancing, synonymous with physical distancing, involves prohibiting large gatherings, avoiding leaving one’s residence unnecessarily, and avoiding public facilities (Regmi & Lwin, 2020). Social distancing is a method of minimizing external transmission, such as in the workplace and schools, by limiting the frequency of contact between the infected and those who are vulnerable. The World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have promoted social distancing as the main countermeasure for infectious diseases. Considering that COVID-19 spreads through droplets from infected persons while they are coughing, sneezing, or speaking, or through physical contact, social distancing is reported to be the most effective way to prevent transmission (Greenstone & Nigam, 2020).

Since the first reported case of COVID-19 on January 20, 2020, the Korean government has implemented various measures to effectively prevent and manage the spread of the virus (J. Park et al., 2021). These include special border screening to prevent the influx of infected people from overseas, proactive COVID-19 testing, and providing preventive guidelines for the public, such as mask-wearing and frequent handwashing.

Among the preventive measures, social distancing was first suggested by the Korean Society for Preventive Medicine in late February 2020 and implemented as a domestic policy through the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency’s recommendation to the people and briefing by the Central Disease Control Headquarters (Koh, 2020). In particular, the Korean government’s public health authority is investing all their efforts toward slowing the spread by establishing social distancing measures based on the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in specific regions as well as the entire nation (Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, 2021). On November 1, 2020, the Korean government announced revised levels of social distancing, which subdivided the previous three stages (preventive measures in day-to-day life, local transmission, and nationwide community transmission) into five stages. On July 1, 2021, these five stages were reduced to four (Level 1: contained and stable, Level 2: local transmission/cap on gathering size, Level 3: regional transmission/ban on gatherings, and Level 4: full-blown nationwide transmission/ban on going out). The proven effectiveness of social distancing has been reported in some previous studies (Prem et al., 2020; Shim et al., 2020). Further, Matrajt and Leung (2020) showed that the implementation of social distancing slowed the increase in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases. For this reason, efforts are being made to improve the practice of and compliance with social distancing mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Leisure Attitude

Leisure attitude (LA) is the unique way a person thinks, feels, and behaves about elements related to leisure (Burdge, 1961; Neulinger, 1981). Ragheb and Beard (1982) described it as a learned, consistent response, either favorable or unfavorable, to a given situation, based on experience, and they categorized LA into cognitive, affective, and behavioral attitude types. Cognitive attitude refers to a person’s general knowledge, beliefs, and understanding of leisure activities; affective attitude refers to a person’s positive or negative emotions based on their past experiences of leisure activities; and behavioral attitude refers to a person’s current intention to participate in leisure activities based on past experiences. LA is an internal state based on experiential knowledge or beliefs about leisure (Beggs & Elkins, 2010; Sheth et al., 1999). In this vein, LA is a key factor in leisure activities, and it can be seen as the basis for subjective judgment regarding leisure activities.

Stress-Related Growth

Stress-related growth (SRG) refers to positive changes and personal growth that can stem from a stressful situation (Tedeschi et al., 1998). Empirical studies that investigated the positive aspects of stress highlight the concept of SRG (C. L. Park et al., 1996). In this regard, SRG can facilitate positive psychological change during difficult times, including major life events and stressors (Boals & Schuler, 2018; Chun et al., 2012; Tedeschi & Calhoun, 2004). In the stressful situation of the global pandemic, various forms of leisure can be helpful by uplifting mood and fostering a positive outlook (Liu et al., 2021). It can be said that leisure activities have a role in managing stress and promoting SRG. In this regard, studies suggest that as well as relieving stress, individual participation in leisure activities provides opportunities for personal growth and life change (Chun et al., 2012).

Quality of Life

Quality of life (QoL), which can be defined as overall satisfaction with one’s life based on self-selected criteria (D. C. Shin & Johnson, 1978), is a multidimensional construct that is the composition of everyday conditions that individuals experience (Felce & Perry, 1995). In addition, QoL entails both cognitive judgment and emotional response, taking interest in one’s life experience in a positive manner (Diener, 2009). QoL is a positive combination of cognitive, psychological, and physical conditions and comprises happiness and satisfaction in these conditions (Angner, 2010). In terms of QoL, other terms such as well-being, welfare, happiness, bliss, and life satisfaction are used interchangeably (Dupuis & Alzheimer, 2008). Shimp and Sharma (1987) have noted that QoL also refers to a sense of happiness in daily life, besides the physical and emotional aspects.

Leisure Attitude and Stress-Related Growth

Han and Lee (2017) stated that leisure activities through appropriate LA can have a positive psychological effect. Zoellner and Maercker (2006) argued that individuals tend to grow (mature) after stressful life events if they accept that they cannot change past negative life events or circumstances and that they can re-evaluate experiences more positively. According to Chun et al. (2012), participation in civic activities is a statistically significant factor in explaining SRG. In addition, M. S. Lee et al. (2020), who studied active seniors participating in tennis as a leisure activity, verified that LA positively affected SRG. Therefore, we formed the following hypothesis:
Hypothesis 1: Leisure attitude during social distancing will be positively associated with stress-related growth.

Leisure Attitude and Quality of Life

Christensen and Yoesting (1973) suggested that LA has a substantial correlation with leisure activities, and J. S. Lim and Choi (2015) reported that LA has a significant effect on QoL of older adults in Korea. Leisure can be divided into positive and passive types, depending on the degree to which it contributes to the improvement of QoL and enriches life through activity participation (Na, 2004). Therefore, we formed the following hypothesis:
Hypothesis 2: Leisure attitude during social distancing will be positively associated with quality of life.

Stress-Related Growth and Quality of Life

Choi and Lee (2019) found that SRG arising from college students’ participation in leisure clubs had a positive effect on their QoL. In addition, it was shown that participating in tennis had a positive effect on seniors’ quality of life (M. S. Lee et al., 2020). Therefore, we formed the following hypothesis:
Hypothesis 3: Stress-related growth during social distancing will be positively associated with quality of life.

Research Model

On the theoretical foundations of previous studies related to COVID-19, we established our hypotheses regarding LA, SRG, and QoL during social distancing. The research model of these hypotheses is shown in Figure 1.

Method

Participants

To investigate the relationships of LA, SRG, and QoL during social distancing, the sample size was determined using the A-priori sample size calculator for structural equation models available online (Soper, 2021), which is based on J. Cohen’s (1992) suggestion regarding analysis power and sample size. An effect size of .30, a power level of .80, a probability level of .05, and five latent variables yielded a minimum sample size of 150. To ensure ethical sensitivity toward the research participants, both authors received Institutional Review Board training and obtained a certificate.

Procedure

Data for this cross-sectional study were collected through an online survey conducted by online research company EM-Brain in Korea during social distancing level 2.5 (regional transmission/ban on gatherings), from January 28 to February 10, 2021. The survey was conducted with people on the survey company’s database after explaining its contents to them and obtaining their consent for participation. The screening question was “Have you enjoyed your leisure activities during COVID-19?” Only those who had engaged in a leisure activity during COVID-19 were asked to commence answering the survey items by clicking on the link included in the email invitation. To increase the response rate, the survey company provided a reward of USD 1.00 per person to all participants who completed the survey. Of the 470 survey forms that were originally sent out, 260 valid responses were used in the analysis. The general characteristics of the sample are shown in Table 1.

Table 1. Characteristics of Participants

Note. KRW 1,100 = USD 1.00.

Measures

All items in the measures are set out in Table 2. First, to measure LA and fit the Korean situation and help the study participants understand, we modified the survey that Han and Lee (2017) adapted from the Leisure Attitude Scale developed by Ragheb and Beard (1982). The Leisure Attitude Scale comprises 36 items concerning three factors: cognitive, affective, and behavioral LA.

To measure SRG we used the survey that Sa et al. (2018) adapted for the Korean context from L. H. Cohen et al. (1998), C. L. Park et al. (1996), and Chun et al. (2012). The scale consists of 15 items.

As a tool for measuring QoL and to fit the Korean situation and this study, we modified the survey by Han and Lee (2017) based on the Satisfaction with Life Scale developed by Diener et al. (1985), and the scale from Diener’s (1994) study and Ryff’s (1989) study. The scale consists of five items.

All measures were scored using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree. In addition, to examine the participants’ general characteristics, we used four variables: gender, age, frequency of leisure activities, and monthly income.

Factor Analysis and Reliability Verification

To verify the validity of the measurement tools, we tested content validity, construct validity, and goodness of fit. First, to test the internal validity of the content, questionnaires were reviewed by a professor and a researcher in the field of leisure science. To test the validity of the construct and goodness of fit, we performed a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).

The model fit was assessed using the nonnormed fit index (NNFI), Tucker–Lewis index (TLI), comparative fit index (CFI), and the absolute fit index of root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA). The model is assessed as having a good fit to the data when TLI and CFI are above .90 and RMSEA is between .08 and .10 (Hu & Bentler, 1999; MacCallum et al., 1996). The CFA results show that the model satisfied the criteria for goodness of fit (see Table 2). In addition, we verified the reliability of the measurement tool using Cronbach’s alpha. There were no reliability issues as the alpha values were above .70 (Nunnally & Bernstein, 1994; Van de Ven & Ferry, 1980). Finally, we verified convergent validity by calculating the construct reliability and average variance extracted for all factors. As the construct reliability and average variance extracted values were higher than .60 and .50, respectively, validity was verified (Bagozzi & Yi, 1988).

Data Analysis

The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS WIN program and AMOS. First, we performed a frequency analysis of the participants’ general characteristics. To verify the validity and reliability of the research tool, we performed a CFA of each item concerning LA, SRG, and QoL. For the reliability analysis, we calculated Cronbach’s alphas. In addition, we performed a correlation analysis to determine the relationships between the variables of LA, SRG, and QoL while maintaining social distancing. Finally, to verify our hypotheses, we performed a path analysis using structural equation modeling.

Results

Analysis of Correlation Among Factors

To determine the associations of LA, SRG, and QoL during social distancing, we conducted a correlation analysis (see Table 3). Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient showed that there was no problem of multicollinearity because the value of the correlation coefficient between potential variables did not exceed .80.

Goodness of Fit

Using the maximum likelihood method as a parameter, we analyzed the structural model of LA, SRG, and QoL during social distancing. The model satisfied the criteria for goodness of fit, as presented in Table 4.

Hypothesis Testing

To determine the relationships between LA, SRG, and QoL during social distancing, we tested the hypotheses through structural equation modeling. The results are presented in Table 5. As shown in the table, Hypotheses 1 and 3 were supported, but Hypothesis 2 was not.

Discussion

In this study we analyzed the relationships of LA, SRG, and QoL in Korean people who participated in leisure activities while following the social distancing mandate. The results show that LA was statistically significantly associated with SRG, which, in turn, was statistically significantly associated with QoL. However, LA was not statistically significantly associated with QoL. On the basis of these findings, we discuss three central conclusions:

First, LA during social distancing was significantly associated with SRG. People who engaged in leisure activities during social distancing held positive and proactive views about participating in leisure activities, which increased their stress-coping skills. According to Sa et al. (2018), SRG is positively influenced by participation in leisure activities. Other researchers have found that leisure has the potential to promote personal growth after stressful situations (Kleiber et al., 2002) and that participation in leisure activities is a key factor in increasing SRG (Chun et al., 2012; Kim & Kim, 2014). Scholars have also found that participants in leisure activities gain emotional stability and overcome stress through their leisure experience (Ulrich et al., 1990) and that satisfaction with leisure activities plays a key role in improving SRG (Kim et al., 2015).

In addition, our results show that a positive evaluation of leisure during social distancing was positively associated with growth through stress. This can mean that under numerous restrictions and changing circumstances participation in leisure activities plays a psychologically significant role. During COVID-19, interpersonal restrictions are extremely high. This explains why coping with stress is highly related to attempts to participate in leisure activities, such as searching for a companion with whom to participate (J. S. Lim & Choi, 2021).

Second, regarding the association of participants’ LA during social distancing with their QoL, we found no significant correlation. Leitner and Leitner (2004) reported that leisure plays a key role in relieving stress and transforming negative energy. Sports and physical activities, in particular, can help develop a healthy body and mind and improve QoL (Iwasaki, 2006). In addition, scholars have covered various leisure activities aside from physical activities and reported that diverse activities, such as spending time in natural settings in one’s free time exerts a positive effect on stress reduction (Çevik et al., 2018).

However, this result is different from previous studies on the relationship between LA and QoL. This indicates the importance of interpretation according to the environment, implying that QoL should be approached comprehensively, as it does not improve simply because a person participates in leisure activities. Siqveland et al. (2015) examined Norwegian adults who experienced the trauma of a tsunami and found that those with higher levels of posttraumatic stress reported lower QoL.

Although we found that the direct association of LA with QoL was not significant, LA did play a role in QoL through SRG. Thus, LA can be thought of as a positive force that facilitates positive change in QoL through SRG in the special circumstances of COVID-19. As such, on the basis of current and previous findings (Corkery, 2011; M. J. Lee, 2012; O. Shin & Kim, 2021), it can be said that the relationship between leisure participation and QoL varies depending on various conditions and the environment. In other words, mere participation in leisure activities does not guarantee a good LA. This is because people’s satisfaction and QoL are greatly affected by different circumstantial variables.

Third, SRG during social distancing was significantly associated with QoL. This supports the findings reported in the study by M. S. Lee et al. (2020) on tennis players’ SRG positively affecting their QoL. The present findings also support Tedeschi and Calhoun’s (2004) conclusion that the effort to overcome stressful situations increases positive emotions about life.

Leisure activities and social distancing can be approached in many ways. During the COVID-19-related restrictions, diverse leisure activities should be offered, with a focus on those that can be offered online/without direct contact and can be engaged in individually. Long term, this implies the need for change in the paradigm of leisure, and for continuing education and discourse for leisure participants to develop an appropriate LA and to cope with changes. Most general leisure activities are no longer an option under social distancing. Further, the impact on social connectivity and loneliness is expected to be significant. In recent research, scholars have emphasized the distinction between social isolation (the absence of or limited social bonding) and loneliness, which is characterized by feelings of being alone and lacking social support, regardless of the number of people in a social network (Melchior, 2020). Our study is significant in that our results empirically and theoretically clarify the role of SRG in the relationship between LA and QoL in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the results provide baseline data for improving QoL during the stressful time of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Limitations and Future Research Directions

Despite the significance of the findings, this study has some limitations. First, people who continue to think positively about and participate in leisure activities during COVID-19 were selected as study participants. Therefore, people who initially participated in leisure activities that were suspended because of COVID-19 were not considered. Second, the results apply only to the pandemic situation and cannot be extended to leisure activities in the post-COVID-19 world. Third, specific leisure activities were not considered. Research in which such details are employed could produce more meaningful results. Fourth, our empirical analysis was based on data obtained from a Korean sample, limiting the generalizability of the findings to other contexts. Therefore, we propose the need to conduct comparative studies in other nations to guide practitioners in adjusting leisure policy plans according to different cultural backgrounds. Fifth, we focused on LA, SRG, and QoL in the context of social distancing; however, examining these variables through the lens of existing social psychology theories (e.g., theory of planned behavior, norm activation theory) could also provide significant results. Finally, owing to the cross-sectional research design, we were unable to make causal inferences regarding the relationships among the variables; this can be rectified with longitudinal studies.

We offer two suggestions for future studies: First, COVID-19 is a highly infectious disease and the restriction-related frustration and anxiety, constant fear of transmission, and helplessness can limit people’s participation in leisure activities, resulting in psychological discomfort. Therefore, variables other than the ones we have considered can play a significant role in the statistical models of future studies. Second, as the objective in qualitative research is seeking to understand the meaning of human experience, there is a need for such studies in the field of leisure science. In these studies, researchers could conduct in-depth investigations of which leisure programs are required in situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conclusion

We examined whether social distancing policies during the global chaos of COVID-19 worked as a positive factor in the relationship between Koreans’ LA, SRG, and QoL. The significance of leisure in this changed environment highlights the necessity of ongoing attention and policy implementation in preparation for the post-COVID-19 scenario and other instances of pandemics. Following the World Health Organization’s declaration of the pandemic, the expression “corona blues” was coined, representing a worldwide state of depression in the age of COVID-19. As the infectious disease spread globally, individuals complying with social distancing mandates experienced isolation. As the term indicates, psychological conditions such as depression and lethargy resulting from COVID-19 and related situations sometimes lead to mental shock involving anxiety and fear (Sharma et al., 2020). For this reason, the significance and necessity of leisure while social distancing should be highlighted. Simultaneously, it is crucial to develop new leisure activities in changing global and local environments. Environmental stress significantly lowers QoL, but individuals continue in their efforts to promote health and lower stress even in such an environment. If leisure response beliefs or strategies are established based on social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic, it will significantly impact on SRG and QoL.
