Abstract

This study investigated how various leisure activities influenced well-being outcomes, focusing on discrimination experiences, leisure satisfaction, and life satisfaction among older adults in South Korea. Using data from 8,141 respondents in the 2020 National Survey of Older Koreans, it analyzed two age groups: youngest-old and middle-old adults. Hierarchical regression analyses and ANOVA explored relationships between leisure activities (i.e.,cultural and artistic events, sports participation, and social activities), age discrimination, leisure satisfaction, and life satisfaction. Sports participation significantly affected life satisfaction in the youngest-old group, while both sports participation and relaxational activities had significant effect on life satisfaction in the the middle-old group. Leisure satisfaction positively affected life satisfaction in both groups, while discrimination had a negative impact. Furthermore, significant differences in discrimination, leisure satisfaction, and life satisfaction were found based on leisure activity type. Sports participation emerged as a particularly strong predictor of life satisfaction across both groups, especially among the youngest-old adults, and was associated with fewer discrimination experiences and higher leisure satisfaction. These findings underscore the importance of promoting leisure activities, especially sports, to enhance life satisfaction in older adults. The study also emphasizes the need for policies that address age discrimination and ensure access to diverse leisure activities tailored to the varying needs of different elderly age groups, thereby improving their overall well-being.
