Leisure activity and daily mood across adulthood: results from the Korean Time Use Survey.
Article in The journals of gerontology. Series B, Psychological sciences and social sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesLeisure activities are known to promote health and well-being in adulthood, yet little is known about how different types and patterns of leisure engagement are associated with daily mood and which characteristics of leisure are more beneficial for adults at different stages of life, with varying work and family commitments.
methodsUsing 2-day time diaries from the 2019 Korean Time Use Survey (participant N = 22,821; age 20-84), this study examined Korean adults' participation in various leisure activities, including outdoor and indoor activities, and assessed how total time spent and diversity (i.e., wide breadth of and evenly spread engagement) in these activities were linked to daily mood. We also explored whether these associations differed by age group (aged 20-39, 40-64, and 65-84).
resultsResults from multilevel models showed that spending more time in outdoor (e.g., social visits, eating out, and exercising) and indoor (e.g., TV/media viewing and computer/gaming) leisure activities was associated with better mood for adults under age 65-younger and middle-aged adults, but not for older adults. Greater diversity in outdoor leisure activities was associated with better mood across all age groups. DISCUSSION: These findings highlight life stage-specific implications of total time spent in leisure activity and the role of diverse outdoor activities in promoting emotional well-being across adulthood.
