This study aimed to examine whether the relationship between the sub-factors of Essentialist Beliefs about Happiness (EBH) and Subjective Well-Being (SWB) varies depending on the type of leisure activity (active vs. passive). Using a panel data (N = 429), Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, correlation analysis (SPSS 27.0), and Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) using R 4.2.1 to evaluate the measurement and structural models. Results showed that the belief that happiness is immutable(EBH_im) was negatively associated with SWB, while effort-based beliefs positively predicted SWB. Notably, EBH_effort interacted with leisure type, such that individuals who believed happiness could be improved through effort experienced higher SWB when engaged in active leisure. These findings suggest that EBH is not uniformly detrimental; effort-oriented beliefs may serve as motivational resources that enhance well-being through active engagement. This study extends leisure research by integrating dispositional belief systems into models of well-being and offers practical implications for developing psychologically informed, personalized leisure and happiness-promotion programs.
