Firstly, by performing a factor analysis on various variables, the author deleted items which failed to meet requirements, and ultimately built the basic framework; secondly, the author concluded that there is a significant correlation between leisure motive (except some emotional variables) and flow, degree of leisure satisfaction, degree of life satisfaction, and that there is also a correlation between flow and degree of leisure satisfaction, degree of lift satisfaction, be-tween degree of life satisfaction and factors in degree of leisure satisfaction; next, the author concluded the follow-ings: there is a significant function of mutual prediction between leisure motive and flow, degree of leisure satisfac-tion, subjective sense of happiness; there is also a significant function of mutual prediction between flow and degree of leisure satisfaction, subjective sense of happiness; there is a significant function of mutual predication between degrees of environmental, social and physiological satisfaction in degree of leisure satisfaction and subjective sense of happiness, but other indexes have no function of direct predication; lastly, the author effectively verified the rela-tions between the leisure motives and subjective sense of happiness of sports participants in the Tumenjiang region in China. After having revised the model several times, the author derived the final model for the relations between the leisure motives and subjective sense of happiness of leisure sport participants.
