The purpose of the research study was: to determine if the occupations: belly

dancers, politicians, and administrators shared similar leisure satisfaction ratings for

reading, dancing, watching TV, and skiing.

For this study there are three research questions being examined.

The first research question is: Do belly dancers, politicians, and administrators

have similar satisfaction profiles for reading, dancing, watching TV, and skiing?

The second research question is: Does one occupation, on average, have a higher

satisfaction score for reading, dancing, watching TV, and skiing?

The third research question is: Do reading, dancing, watching TV, and skiing

elicit the same satisfaction, on average, regardless of occupation?

There are four variables for this study. The IV for this study is Occupation, which

is categorical and contains three levels (1=Belly Dancers, 2=Politicians, and

3=Administrators). There are four DVs for this study. They are: reading, dancing,

watching TV, and skiing as measured on a 10 point scale 1 being low satisfaction and 10

being high satisfaction.

The participants for this study are professionals consisting of a total sample size

of n=15. The sample can also be described as follows, belly dancers n=5, politicians n=5,

and administrators n=5.

A profile analysis was conducted for this study to answer the research questions.

Results of the profile analysis revealed that belly dancers, politicians, and administrators

do not have similar satisfaction profiles for reading, dancing, watching TV, and skiing, F

(2,12) = 44.145, p < .05, η2p = .880. Furthermore the profile analysis indicated that there

is a significant overall difference between occupation and satisfaction level for reading,

dancing, watching TV, and skiing, Wilks’ Λ = .076, F (6,20) = 8.736, p < .05. η2p = .724.

It was shown that belly dancers had a higher overall satisfaction rating than politicians

and administrators, Reading (M=6.6000, SD = 1.14018), Dancing (M=9.4000,

SD=.89443), watching TV (M=5.8000, SD=.83666), and skiing (M=7.4000,

SD=1.51658). The profile analysis also revealed that reading, dancing, watching TV, and

skiing do not elicit the same satisfaction, on average, regardless of occupation, using

sphericity assumed, F (3,36) = 4.723, p < .05. η2p = .282.
