This paper provides a brief overview of several lines of research which can now be said to constitute an "area," called here motivations for leisure. The paper touches on past and current research and then describes the results of two conferences on motivations for leisure. A perspective on this developing area is provided as well as suggestions for future research. This is a blossoming area which should generate considerable basic and applied research, and can constitute part of the core knowledge of the leisure field.
