The current study was conducted to examine the psychometric properties of an instrument (short form) developed to assess limiting or constraining factors to participate in leisure. The Leisure Constraints Questionnaire (LCQ) was firstly developed by Alexandris and Carroll (1997) and adapted to Turkish culture by Karaküçük and Gürbüz (2006). The long form of T-LCQ consisted of 6 factors and totally 27 items. A total of 550 participants including 294 female and 256 male university students from different universities in Turkey participated in the study. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was performed to test the construct validity of short form of the scale. DFA results illustrated significant goodness of fit statistics for the short form of LCQ-SF which consisted of 6 factors and 18 items. Factor loadings of the 18 items ranged from 0.49 to 0.89. The internal consistency of the factors was acceptable and ranged from α = 0.65 (time) to α = 0.86 (lack of knowledge). It can be concluded that the LCQ-SF is a reliable and valid instrument to assess the constraining factors for Turkish individuals’ participating in leisure.
