ALBERTOS, Aránzazu; OSORIO, Alfonso e BELTRAMO, Carlos. Teenagers and Leisure: Positive Development and Transition to Adulthood. Educ. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.2, pp.201-220. Epub 06-Abr-2021. ISSN 0123-1294. https://doi.org/10.5294/edu.2020.23.2.3.
Since the 20 th century, leisure has had a crucial role in society, the economy, culture, and education. This has aroused great interest in studying the connection between this phenomenon and lifestyles, satisfaction, the environment, and the leisure-work relationship. This article analyzes the influence of leisure on the lives of young people. The first part contains a literature review of the main sociological and psychological theories that explain its meaning, evolution, and relationship with work. The second part presents the positive development model, focused on unlocking young people’s potential rather than on preventing risky behaviors. The positive use of free time relies on structured, voluntary, intrinsically motivated, adult-supervised activities. In brief, the involvement of young people in associations, organizations, and institutions that carry out structured, voluntary activities facilitates the transition to adulthood concerning the constructive use of time and free, pleasant leisure.
