ABSTRACT:
The effects of outcome (winning, losing, no outcome) of leisure participation on male and female subjects' leisure needs were studied. Winning tended to increase females' and decrease males' needs. Competitive and recreational leagues appear to serve different psychological functions in males and females. Investigated the effects of winning, losing or no outcome on male and female subjects' leisure needs. Subjects were 438 players in an intramural basketball program, comprised of competitive and recreational leagues. Generally, winning and losing had the opposite effects on males' and females' needs. Winning increased females' and decreased males' leisure needs. The effects of competitiveness of leagues suggested that competitive and recreational leagues serve different psychological functions for males and females because the two leagues are expected to fulfill different leisure needs.
