休閒研究指出壓力源與休閒調適可預測人們的健康，然實證結果存有是否可推論於不同群體、社經背景的質疑，促成本研究檢測二個模式，第一個為檢測過去研究提及壓力源（生活壓力）、休閒調適（休閒友誼性、休閒自主性）與健康（健康生活品質）所組成的模式，第二個為檢測過去研究未測試、但暗示婚姻狀況（單身與已婚）影響上述構念間的關係，以了解第一個模式的穩定性。以台中市居民為研究對象，採用便利抽樣調查實得276份有效問卷，分析結果支持第一個模式並與過去研究發現類似；但並未支持第二個模式，即第一個模式的交叉驗證無法適用婚姻狀態類別的居民，研究成果建議壓力源－休閒調適－健康間的複雜關係，隨婚姻狀態的不同而有不同。

The relationship between stressors, leisure coping, and health have received increasing attention in leisure research, with past literature indicating that stressors and leisure coping predict good health. However, how the relationships between these factors vary depending on socio-demographic factors is still unknown. The purpose of this study is to test two predictive models. The first model examines the impacts of life stress, leisure friendships, and leisure autonomy on healthy quality of life, as tested in past research. The second model examines the impact of marital status on the structural relationships between the study constructs mentioned above, as proposed but not tested in previous research. A total of 276 Taichung residents completed an on-site questionnaire. Consistent with existing evidence, the results support the first model in which life stress and leisure coping (i.e., leisure friendships, leisure autonomy) appear to independently influence healthy quality of life. Interestingly, our results do not support the second model, indicating that the cross-group validation of the first model does not fit within marital status categories. These findings suggest that the complex relationships between stressors, leisure coping, and health depend on marital status.
