Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine cultural differences of relationship between leisure life and quality of life. For this goal, 368 Korean and 348 German university students completed a questionnaire measuring relationship between leisure life(leisure activities, leisure motivation, leisure attitude and leisure satisfaction) and quality of life(life satisfaction and negative affectivity). Based on analyzing these data, We found 4 prominent results; First, there were cultural differences between leisure activity and leisure satisfaction and quality of life. Specifically, although many of the Korean students were usually participating an 'indoor activities' such as internet surfing, card game, billiard etc, they were unlikely to satisfy those activities. On the other hand, majority of German students(29.2%) were participating sports activities, which was positively related with leisure satisfaction and quality of life. Second, the result showed that Korean students were to have a stronger ‘psychological rest motivation' in leisure life than German students. While German students were to have a stronger ‘competent motivation' than Korean students. Third, Korean students showed discrepancy between cognition and behavior of leisure attitude. When it comes to the cognitive aspects of leisure attitude, Korean students were more likely to consider leisure as a valuable activity than German students. In that the behavioral aspects, German students were more willing to participate leisure activity and consume time and money than Korean students.
