Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the main factors influencing recreation specialization, to gain an in-depth understanding of the specialization process in leisure activity participation, and to derive practical implications for promoting leisure activities. Data were analyzed using SPSS Ver.26.0 and AMOS Ver.26.0, employing frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis. The results revealed that leisure satisfaction(β=.336) was the most influential variable on recreation specialization, followed by participation duration (β=.255), participation frequency(β=.188), participation intensity(β=.161), extraversion-introversion(E/I; β=.108), thinking-feeling(T/F; β=-.096), and gender(β=.083).
First, leisure satisfaction was identified as a key factor in recreation specialization, reinforcing behavior across emotional, behavioral, and cognitive dimensions. Second, participation period, frequency, and intensity were confirmed as major factors in enhancing specialization levels through continuous and repetitive participation and immersion. Third, extraversion(E) and feeling(F) were found to enhance specialization levels through social interaction and social bonding. Lastly, males demonstrated higher specialization levels by focusing on competitive elements, skill improvement, and goal achievement. These findings confirm that leisure satisfaction is a crucial factor in recreation specialization, emphasizing the need for developing personalized programs and strategies to enhance specialization levels.
