Abstract
Leisure is viewedworldwide as an important developmental context for adolescents. As leisure research and programs are shared across nations,
it is crucial to examine the cultural equivalence of leisure-related constructs
and how they are related. Grounded in self-determination theory,
this study explored the influence of perceived parental control
and leisure restructuring ability on leisure motivation (amotivation and
autonomous motivation) using samples of eighth grade adolescents in
the United States and South Africa. Results of multiple-group structural
equation modeling showed that the measurement model of the constructs
was equivalent across the two samples, but the determinants of
leisure motivation differed between the two samples. The findings provide
implications for future cross-cultural research in leisure and offer
insights on design and adaptation of leisure-based intervention and
education programs in different cultural contexts.
