Leisure Constraints Negotiation Model/Evidence

Leisure Constraints Negotiation Model

The leisure constraints negotiation model studies how people who encounter obstacles to participation do not simply abstain but instead deploy strategies that allow them to take part anyway, often in modified form. Building on Crawford, Jackson and Godbey's tripartite classification of constraints into intrapersonal, interpersonal, and structural types, Jackson, Crawford and Godbey's 1993 paper overturned the prevailing assumption that constraints are insurmountable barriers, arguing instead that participation is the outcome of a negotiation process in which motivation and effort can offset constraint. Hubbard and Mannell's 2001 study formalized this insight by pitting four competing models of the constraint-negotiation process against one another with structural equation modeling, establishing the constraint-effects-mitigation model as the dominant account. The framework reframes non-participation as just one possible endpoint of an active negotiation rather than the inevitable consequence of facing a constraint.
