The purpose of this study is to find the types and frequency of leisure activities that university students have, their leisure constraints, and any average differences between leisure constraints by school year. For the analysis on leisure satisfaction, the leisure satisfaction scale (LSS) developed by Beard and Ragheb(1980) was applied. An empirical analysis was conducted as to whether the psychological, educational, social, relaxational, physical, and environmental factors of leisure activity participants influence leisure satisfaction significantly and positively. The leisure activity frequency of university students was overally low. As a result, psychological/ educational factors, relaxational factors, leisure satisfaction factors, relaxational factors, social factors, lack of time/cost, companion absence, facility shortage and awkwardness were drawn. According to the correlation analysis, five sub factors of leisure satisfaction scale, except for leisure constraints (lack of time/cost & companion absence, and facility shortage & awkwardness), had high correlations. According to the verification of the hypotheses 1 and 2, the mean was not different depending on school years. Therefore, the hypotheses were rejected. The multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to verify the study hypotheses 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4, 3-5 and to find how psychological/educational, environmental, physical, relaxational, and social factors affected leisure satisfaction. The hypothesis 3-1 ‘psychological/educational factors will affect leisure satisfaction positively’ was adopted. The hypothesis 3-2 ‘environmental factors will affect leisure satisfaction positively was rejected. The hypothesis 3-3 ’physical factors will affect leisure satisfaction positively’ was adopted. The hypothesis 3-4 ‘relaxational factors will affect leisure satisfaction positively’ was adopted. The hypothesis 3-5 ‘social factors will affect leisure satisfaction positively’ was rejected.
