Social Network Analysis on Adolescent Leisure Behavior

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study describes the relationship between network structure and adolescent leisure behavior, as determined by using Social Network Analysis (SNA). The results of the study show that the centrality and cohesion of the clique that adolescents belong to exert a certain degree of influence on leisure behavior. If adolescents have a high centrality, they will be inclined to enjoy engaging in leisure activities with their friends, but if adolescents have a low centrality, they will not be inclined to do so. Furthermore, it was found that a clique with strong cohesion strongly affects its members` leisure behavior, but a clique with weak cohesion does not. These results suggested that each adolescent has his or her own network structure, and this structure can affect adolescent leisure behavior. Moreover, adolescents are likely to form or be part of a clique, and the clique that one becomes part of can affect adolescent leisure behavior.
