dc.description.abstract | Scope and Method of Study: To understand cultural differences in experiencing short-term interactions at university campus recreation center, the purpose of this study was to examine how individualism-collectivism, forms of activity participation, and activity participation patterns impact university students' level of comfort and satisfaction with short-term interactions at a campus recreation center. An on site survey and quantitative analysis were applied in this study. | |
dc.description.abstract | Findings and Conclusions: The results of this study found that participants' independent self-construal tendency has stronger impact on their levels of comfort and satisfaction with short-term interactions than their interdependent self-construal. Specifically, participants of the Bicultural group reported being most satisfied and least uncomfortable with short-term interaction experiences at a campus recreation center. People in the Culturally-Alienated group were the least satisfied and the most nervous with short-term interactions. However, forms of activity participation and activity participation patterns had no association with participants' levels of comfort and satisfaction with short-term interactions experiences at a campus recreation center. | |
