Resumo	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 Recreation Experience Preference (REP) scales are a hierarchical battery of self-report measures, developed by B. L. Driver and colleagues over three decades, that quantify the desired psychological outcomes people seek from recreation. Rather than asking which activity someone prefers, REP asks why — capturing the experiences a person hopes to attain, organized into broad domains (such as enjoying nature, escaping pressure, achievement, affiliation, and learning) that each contain narrower scales. Manfredo, Driver, and Tarrant's 1996 meta-analysis in the Journal of Leisure Research consolidated more than three dozen studies that had used REP items, documenting a stable factor structure and reliable subscales and establishing REP as the standard motivational measure in outdoor recreation. The instrument operationalizes the behavioral, or expectancy-valence, view that recreation is goal-directed: people choose settings and activities expecting to satisfy specific experiential goals.
