Abstract

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explain whether leisure’s social and cognitive benefits could be found within a group of 12 young people in the Australian foster care system; representative of a highly vulnerable population, and how those benefits might be used to improve life opportunities post care. Case studies generated a cross-case thematic analysis which provided an explanatory framework for an explanation building process. Participants were found to be creating and using contextually based cognitive artifacts to resource, plan for, learn from or about, and resource their leisure.
