2. Explain the similarities of these two theories(How they are similar)
3. Explain the difference between these two theories(How they are different)
Freedonm Foremost, leisure makes us feel free. We are having fun when we freely choose what we're doing. In fact, scholars suggest leisure cannot exist at all when our perception of freedom is curtailed, as the amount of perceived freedom we experience is one of the most basic values of leisure For example, as shown in Figure 2.1, how much free- dom of choice we have in a pursuit categorizes the type of leisure it is (Neulinger, 1981). Neulinger referred to these categories as "states of mind." The first state of mind rep resents the purest form ofleisure: an expression freely chosen for its own sake. Neulinger's states of mind not only classify leisure according to the amount of perceived freedom in the experience, but also the degree of intrinsic reward. We focus on the first quality here and feature the second quality in the next Perceived freedom: Believing that you are in charge of your leisure expression section Meanwhile, another leisure scholar, John Kelly (2009,2012), refers to this freedom state of mind as ideal leisure, which is also somewhat similar to the leisure ideal of the ancient Greeks. That is, ideal lei sure requires freedom from external control. Like Neulinger's pure leisure, Kelly's ideal leisure also is the result of another quality-intrinsic reward. Pure (6) job Intrinsi Intrinsi and Extrinsic Motivation The pure/ideal leisure quality suggests two dif ferent understandings of freedom. These are the distinctions between leisure as freedom "from" and leisure as freedom "to." First, leisure is tempor:a freedom from the necessary routine of life. That is, leisure frees us from obligations and provides a re lief from work, such as when we take a vacation Leisure as freedom "from" is considered a less sat- isfying experience because it carries the connota- tion that leisure must first be earned through work. For example, is leisure as freedom "from" possible for someone retired from a paying job? and Motivation ry (3) Leisure-job (4) Pure Figure 2.1 Neulinger's Leisure States of Mind (Neulinger 1981) On the other hand, leisure as freedom "to" is considered more satisfying. Here the focus is on free- dom to experience a particularly personal expression. This means in order to experience leisure, we must claim our choices and expand beyond the limits of the present toward truly fulfilling possibilities Freedom "to" is what Neulinger and Kelly had in mind with the idea of pure/ideal leisure How, then, do we acquire more leisure as freedom "to" in our lives? According to the investigations of Bregha (1991), freedom in leisure is a matter of possessing personal qualities, having the means, and receiving permission . . *Explanation / Answer
Answer-(1) Neulinger's leisure paradigm- Leisure is a state of mind ; it is a way of being , of being at a place with oneself and what one is doing . Leisure was one and only one essential criterion , and that is the condition of perceived freedom.
John Kelly 's leisure theory- Kelly's work begins with the assumption that leisure is a complex rather than simple phenomenon, multidimensional rather than monothematic. He also says that leisure can't be conceptualized on an entity withcertain specific properties or that leisure is something that occurs within a defined time or place.
Answer-(2) Both psychologists talks about "state of mind". Both of them classifies leisure according to the perceived freedom and intrinsic reward.
Answer-(3) The major differences between the two leisure theories is that Kelly's theory describes four states of mind mean while Neulinger '' theory describes six states of mind.Also Kelly's theory talks about 2 leisure satisfactions.
