Abstract
Our intention is to describe and explain the idea of leisure repertoire. Leisure repertoire is
defined as the personal "library" of largely intrinsically motivated activities that the participant
practices on a regular basis. The leisure repertoire is determined by two criteria: perceived
competence and psychological comfort. Perceived competence relates to the individual's judgment of performance compared to members of the same age cohort and gender. Psychological
comfort refers to the person's perception of performance judged in relation to personal, internal
standards. The leisure repertoire of the elderly person is of particular concern because of the
abundance of free time accompanying retirement and the age-related deficits limiting the
person's ability to use free time meaningfully. The article closes with a discussion of the probable
factors mediating the leisure repertoires of the elderly and recommendations for measurement
of the leisure repertoire.
