Résumé	The Leisure Motivation Scale (LMS), developed by Jacob Beard and Mounir Ragheb in their 1983 Journal of Leisure Research article, measures the psychological and social reasons people give for participating in leisure. Building on Maslow's need theory and the leisure-needs literature, the scale reduces leisure motivation to four broad motives, each represented by twelve items: the intellectual motive (mental activity — learning, exploring, imagining), the social motive (friendship and interpersonal relationships, including the need for esteem), the competence-mastery motive (achievement, challenge, and the testing of skills), and the stimulus-avoidance motive (the drive to escape and to seek rest, solitude, and relaxation). Administered to 1,205 respondents and refined by item and factor analysis, the four subscales achieved reliabilities near .90 and became, alongside the companion Leisure Satisfaction Scale, the most widely used motivation measure in leisure studies and tourism.	The Leisure Satisfaction Scale (LSS), developed by Jacob Beard and Mounir Ragheb in their 1980 Journal of Leisure Research article, measures the positive perceptions and feelings an individual derives from engaging in leisure activities — the extent to which leisure meets felt needs. From an initial pool of 59 indicators distilled through pilot studies and expert review, factor analysis yielded six interpretable components: psychological, educational, social, relaxation, physiological, and aesthetic. The full instrument comprises 51 items and a widely used 24-item short form, with a total reliability around .96 and strong subscale reliabilities. The LSS became the most recognized measure of leisure satisfaction and a standard outcome in studies linking leisure to quality of life, as in Ragheb and Griffith's demonstration that leisure satisfaction contributes to the life satisfaction of older adults.
