Dimensions and Predictors of Activity Engagement

Abstract

This short-term longitudinal study examined (1) the test-retest reliability of seven parameters of activity engagement (frequency, importance, difficulty, ability, future, change, number of activities), (2) the correlations among these parameters, and (3) the role of demographic, health and personality traits as predictors of activity parameters. A total of 107 retired seniors completed questionnaires on three different occasions over a one-year period. Participants showed good consistency in activity dimension ratings across time. Results also showed that activity parameters were significantly inter-correlated. Finally, predictors varied according to activity parameters, but variables of education, extraversion, openness and, to a lesser extent, health, predicted several activity parameters.
