ABSTRACT

The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship among leisure repertoire, leisure boredom and drinking behavior of college students. Although drinking usually takes place in leisure context, leisure variables have been rarely used to explain the behavior. 154 students attending a university in Kyungsangbuk-do region participated in the survey and a series of regression analysis was performed. The results show that leisure repertoire positively affected drinking behavior while it negatively influenced leisure boredom. Leisure boredom and drinking were not significantly related. And mediating effect of leisure boredom between leisure repertoire and drinking was not found significant. The finding of the study suggests that leisure activities and drinking are not alternative behaviors but increase in leisure activities results in increase of drinking opportunities and also greater participation in leisure activities entailed less boredom in leisure.
