The aim of this study was to apply the competing model strategy and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to explore the optimal model for the perceived freedom in leisure scale. Perceived freedom in leisure scale was applied to determine the samples coming from 30 universities located in northern, central, southern, and eastern of Taiwan, and 403 valid questionnaires were obtained. Furthermore, SPSS 12.0 and LISREL 8.72 statistic analysis were performed to analyze the database. The results showed that the second order model fit indexes were within the acceptable levels, and had good construct reliability and convergent validity. In this case, the model of perceived freedom in leisure was selected to be the optimal model in this work. The conclusions indicated that the research took a sequence statistic analysis in logical inference by using the evaluation of the competing model and the reduced order model to construct four independent scales.
