The Influence of Extraversion on Leisure Constraints Negotiation Process A Case of Korean People with Disabilities

Abstract

Diverse behavioral and psychological elements in the leisure constraints negotiation process are known to be closely associated with each other. Among several psychological factors, personality traits tend to be more stable over time and more influential on an individual's behavior. Nevertheless previous studies that investigated the constraints negotiation process have paid little attention to the influence of the personality traits. Further, people with disabilities likely perceive various leisure constraints differently, and adopt distinctive patterns of negotiation efforts. Thus, this paper employs the concept of extraversion as a personality trait for individuals with disabilities. Study results suggest that people with disabilities make use of different constraints negotiation mechanisms to decide on their leisure participation.
