Özet

Although leisure constraints that individuals have to copewith can negatively affect their social inclusion and satisfac-tion with life, little research has addressed the link betweenthese variables. Therefore, the current paper examined themoderator role of leisure constraints on the relationshipbetween satisfaction with life and leisure constraints amongadults living in five different European countries. Therespondents were 1,382 women and 877 men adults.The findings of analysis revealed that all factors used in thestudy accounted for 15% of the variance in satisfaction withlife and social inclusion had a significant and positive impacton satisfaction with life. As a result, it can be said that lei-sure constraints had a moderating effect on the relationshipbetween satisfaction with life and social inclusion. The pre-sent research study recommends that social inclusionshould be encouraged through decreasing to leisure con-straints to increase the life satisfaction.
