The purpose of this study was to present corroborated data about how the ski manias’ experience reveals on the grounded theory approach. This study explored the 9 ski manias’ selected by convenience sampling using the grounded theory method.
As the qualitative analysis, based on Corbin & Strauss(1990)’s grounded theory for ski manias’ experience, 9 people were involved in collecting data such as in-depth interview, self description, E-mail and reference.
As a result of the two analyses, the conclusions can be summarized as follows.
Firstly, according to the level of ski manias’ participation, the various experience affects to ski manias’ standard levels.
Secondly, according to the evidence of the grounded theory paradigm, it consists of the 130 concept words extracted from the result that is divided into 25 subcategories and 9 core categories. The casual condition of the association process was ‘motivation of participation’ and the phenomenon was suggested as ‘ski participation’. The affecting context was described as ‘value of consciousness for leisure activity’. In this context, the intervening condition that catalyzes or restrains the strategy are ‘continuing participation’ and ‘conflict’. The action/interaction strategies were ‘investment for ski’, ‘conflict solution’ and ‘changing experience’. The consequence shows ‘main behavior and attitudes’. Therefore, each category has extended their connections so that the hypotheses have pursued the theoretical frameworks as clarifying the property and the dimension. The study was to compare the relationship between the hypotheses and evidential data in constant basis. The important point in this study is that the styles of the participation of ski manias were divided into three categories such as the Intermediate Mania, the Strong Mania and the Super Mania.
Thirdly, according to the three types of manias, they made a conditional path that illustrates the level of category about attribute.
In this respect, it can be described as ski manias not only enjoy self-satisfaction through ski participation but also have the positive change as a good leisure activity. Many participations for skiing build up optimistic attitudes forward their life cycles.
