There were researches indicate that college students have high leisure motivation, but low participation. It shows people are constrained to take leisure activities by some reasons which called leisure constraints. The beginning researches focused on non-participations’ demographic and socio-economic variables were investigated. Later, the progress of statistics methods and academic sciences made the profound and comprehensive explanations to leisure constraints possible. For example, building models than classifying items interpret the conception of leisure constraints. This study examined the hierarchical model of leisure constraints proposed by Crawford, Jackson, & Godbey （1991）. The main conceptions of the hierarchical model were developed by Crawford & Godbey（1987）. The model proposed the possible existence of three distinct, hierarchically ordered types of constraints on leisure from preferences to participation, intrapersonal constraints, interpersonal constraints, and structural constraints. The instrument developed by Raymore, Godbey, Crawford & Von Eye（1993） will be used to measure the conceptions of constraints on leisure as they related to beginning a new leisure activity. The samples were consisted of 484 male and female undergraduates from 35 universities and colleges located in north Taiwan. The use of factor analysis, z tests, and binomial test examined the proposal of the hierarchical model. The results are as following: 1.The model of three categories of constraints on leisure are not accepted. 2. The leisure constraints’ hierarchical dependency isn’t supported.
