The aim of the current study was to compare varied dimensions of participation in leisure activities among school-aged children ages 10-16 with and without disabilities. The Children Leisure Activity Scale (CLASS) was administrated to 294 children, 81 with and 213 without physical disability. Two-way MANCOVA revealed significant differences between the frequency of participation in leisure activities of the study groups: an effect of disability F(4,265=239.57; p<0.001, η(2)=0.78); an effect of gender F(4,265=3.35; p<0.01, η(2)=0.05); and an interaction effect between gender and disability F(4,265=5.23; p<0.001, η(2)=0.64). Children with disabilities, and mostly girls, were found at risk to participate in a narrower variety of activities that involved fewer social interactions. Using linear regressions for each group two different models were identified. Using the CLASS the study contributes evidence-based data regarding children at risk for leisure participation. In addition, the research further established the discriminate validity of the CLASS.
本研究旨在比较 10-16 岁残疾和非残疾学龄儿童在参与休闲活动的不同维度方面的差异。采用儿童休闲活动量表（CLASS）对 294 名儿童进行了评估，其中 81 名有身体残疾，213 名无身体残疾。双向 MANCOVA 显示，研究组在休闲活动参与频率方面存在显著差异：残疾的影响 F(4,265)=239.57;p<0.001，η²=0.78）；性别影响 F(4,265)=3.35;p<0.01，η²=0.05）；以及性别和残疾之间的交互效应 F(4,265)=5.23;p<0.001，η²=0.64）。有残疾的儿童，尤其是女孩，参与涉及较少社会互动的活动种类较少，面临着参与度变窄的风险。对于每个组，使用线性回归确定了两个不同的模型。本研究使用 CLASS 为儿童休闲参与风险提供了基于证据的数据。此外，该研究进一步确立了 CLASS 的判别有效性。
