Leisure identity salience (LIS) is the relative importance of a leisure identity for defining one's self, relative to other identities the individual holds. Some correlates of LIS were explored in three studies, one among students (N = 251) and two among participants in “serious leisure” activities (N = 158 and N = 494). LIS was found to be related to social commitment, the level of effort and skill involved in the activity, time investment, continuance commitment and non-financial commitment to work. The findings indicate that LIS is a potentially important psychological dimension of leisure which is distinctive from ‘state of mind’ dimensions such as the expectation of pleasure and perceived freedom.
