About John Neulinger
- John Neulinger (April 26, 1924 - June 20, 1991) was a noted German-American psychologist and Professor Emeritus of psychology at City College of New York.
- Neulinger is best known for contributing a social psychological theory of leisure to the field of leisure studies.
- Neulinger's theory of leisure is defined by a psychological state of mind that requires two criteria for leisure: perceived freedom and intrinsic motivation.
- In Neulinger's theory, individuals can be said to be in a state of leisure if they simply perceive that they have the freedom to choose activities and are motivated by an activity for its own sake, not just for its consequences.
- Neulinger first popularized his ideas in the 1974 book, The Psychology of Leisure.
