Single-Dose Psilocybin for a Treatment-Resistant Episode of Major Depression
BACKGROUND: Psilocybin is being studied for use in treatment-resistant depression. METHODS: In this phase 2 double-blind trial, we randomly assigned adults with treatment-resistant depression to receive a single dose of a proprietary, synthetic formulation of psilocybin at a dose of 25 mg, 10 mg, or 1 mg (control), along with psychological support. The primary end point was the change from baseline to week 3 in the total score on the Montgomery-Å…

Sport, Exercise and Social Theory: An Introduction
Why are sport and exercise important? What can the study of sport and exercise tell us about wider society? Who holds the power in creating contemporary sport and exercise discourses? It is impossible to properly understand the role that sport and exercise play in contemporary society without knowing a little social theory. It is social theory that provides the vocabulary for our study of society, that helps us ask the right critical questions an…

Work and Leisure: A Simplified Paradigm
Definitions of leisure have been both exclusive and inclusive. Although different definitions have been used by various students of leisure, the nature of the differences has not always been clear. Dualistic and monistic approaches to understanding life account for exclusive-inclusive differences. However, the two dimensions that appear most important to common definitions are those of work-relation and discretion. A paradigm is developed using t…
Economic Sociology Primer: Leisure and Lifestyles
Economic sociology seeks to apply sociological perspectives to economic analysis. The standard formulations of micro-economics require reducing all analysis to numerical measures and indices. Against this narrowness, sociological approaches introduce issues critical for defining and marketing leisure and the related concept of lifestyles. This paper attempts to introduce how basic sociological concepts that employ common vocabularies may both con…
An Alternative Economic Scenario
Scenarios that focus on economic globalisation may be either optimistic or pessimistic depending on viewpoints, interests, and premises. However, they tend to depict much the same sets of facts and figures. This analysis takes two analyses from a U.S. perspective and shows what they have in common and how they differ. A critical stance toward global capitalism leads to economic responses that require political decisions and suggests individual re…

Exploring VCR use as a leisure activity
On the basis of a uses‐and‐gratifications perspective, this exploratory study examined the TV viewing and VCR use of a sample of 119 households with VCRs. The instrument developed for use in this study consisted of a TV and VCR diary in which respondents recorded a variety of information related to each viewing (or recording) occasion for 1 week. The results suggest that although the ability to manipulate the broadcast schedule was a valued featu…

Leisure as Life: Outline of a Poststructuralist Reconstruction
Poststructuralist analyses of social phenomena are not new. They do, however, provide a critique of previous approaches to the study of leisure that deconstructs former projects. This paper is an attempt to reconstruct the study of leisure by suggesting 1) elements of the poststructuralist critique, 2) an introduction to the basis of a phenomenological framework, and 3) an outline of elements in such an agenda for leisure theory and research. The…
Changing Issues in Leisure-Family Research—Again
I. The Period of Neglect-the 60s and 70s Very briefly, the family received little attention in this early developing period of leisure research. Surveys, often of occupational groups and using demographic independent variables made population aggregates the common unit of analysis. The accepted wisdom was that leisure was best explained from its relation to work. Late in the period, however, there was the beginning of a return to the household-ba…
Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt Award for Research Excellence
The story goes that, when told that average number of student contact hours for faculty at local state university was six, a legislator railed, Well, what do they do with other two hours? Freedom to work in a multitude of settings is, of course, one of chief benefits of academic life. But justification for noninstructional time and freedom to work away from classroom or office lies inevitably in productivity that follows.When I first encountered …
The symbolic interaction metaphor and leisure: Critical challenges
In 1983, Leisure Identities and Interactions was published in an attempt to provide an alternative to structure-functional sociological premises, theory, and research methods. This symbolic-interaction project focused on situated meanings of behavior, proposed identity as a link between the personal and the social, defined leisure as a constructed process, and gave attention to actual social contexts including role sets and face-to-face interacti…
Multiple Dimensions of Meaning in the Domains of Work, Family, and Leisure
Leisure has been defined in ways that suggest that its properties are unique. In an effort to establish a field of inquiry, leisure has often been separated from work and family roles and dimensions of meaning. One premise is that work, family/community, and leisure can each be identified respectively by the central dimension of productivity, bonding, and freedom. Considerable research, however, has found both intrinsic and extrinsic meanings for…
Residence and orientations toward solitude
In this study, the authors examined leisure activities and desire for solitude in relation to the population density of residential location. Leisure activities of adults in urban, small‐town, and rural areas were analyzed. Findings indicate that residents of areas varying in population density do not exhibit significantly different patterns in the breadth and intensity of their leisure involvement. Residential setting was not significantly relat…
Counterpoints in the sociology of leisure
In this article I develop three themes in the contemporary sociological study of leisure: (1) Leisure is complex, despite the deceptive appeal of simplification. (2) Leisure is social, embedded in the roles and conflicts of a divided social system. (3) Leisure is contextual without being determined. Leisure should not be trivialized; it is important just because it is complex, social and contextual
Leisure and Life Satisfaction of Unemployed North American Urban Minority Youth
Part of a larger study, this exploratory research examined the leisure and life satisfaction of unemployed African American and Hispanic youth in the inner city of Chicago. Face-to-face interviews were conducted in parks, community centers, public housing and on the streets. The following areas were investigated: (1) background information including social and economic characteristics, school history, residential and family situation; and (2) beh…
Commodification and consciousness: An initial study
Critical theory has focused on the theme of the commodification of leisure. Leisure is defined as a market-mediated instrument of control that binds workers to an alienated production process. The evidence offered by proponents of the critique is mostly indirect and often mixed. In an exploratory study, interviews with 44 adults examine the relationship of consumption and purchasing things to favourite activities, travel, and ‘good times’ as well…

Leisure and Aging: A Second Agenda
The first agenda for the study of leisure and aging addressed two questions: (1) What the relationship of aging to participation in nonwork activity? And, (2) What is the relationship of such participation to satisfaction in later life? A general consensus has been reached on these two issues. First, age-indexed lower rates of participation in most kinds of activity may obscure the greater stability in rates for activities that are chosen as poss…

Later‐life leisure: Beginning a new agenda
Two issues have dominated research on leisure activity and aging in the past two decades: (1) What is the relationship of aging to participation in nonwork activities? and (2) What is the relationship of such participation to satisfaction in later life? A general consensus has developed that supports a nonlinear reduction in activity engagement in later years and a significant correlation between activity participation and life satisfaction. Furt…

Socialization Toward Leisure: A Developmental Approach
Exploration of how the leisure socialization process can be investigated requires answers to basic questions of when and with whom leisure is learned. From interviews of adults in a Western community, profiles of the social context and meaning of a wide range of leisure activities have been developed. Activities were found to have been evenly divided among those begun as children and in adult years. Family associations were primary in learning 63…

Leisure Socialization: Replication and Extension
A previous study found adult leisure activities to be evenly divided between having been started in childhood and in adult years with over 60 percent begun in a family context. These findings were replicated in a midwest Mill Town and then extended in an eastern suburban New Town. The childhood and familial contexts of socialization for adult leisure are found even more salient. Except for cultural activities, the school does not seem to be an im…
Family Leisure in Three Communities
In three communities—a Western university town, a Midwest mill town, and an Eastern new town—associations, role constraints, and satisfactions perceived in an inclusive range of leisure activities were examined in 374 interviews. Family interaction heads the ranking of activities selected as among the most important to adult respondents. Over half the 2,372 activities studied are usually done with family members. This includes over 70 percent of …
Later‐life satisfaction: Does leisure contribute
“Activity theories”; of aging as well as the common wisdom in recreation presume that greater activity leads to greater satisfaction with life in later years. Research, however, has produced conflicting results. Review and meta‐analysis of previous research on the contribution of leisure and social activity to subjective well‐being has produced a sequence of questions: (1) Do frequency and breadth of participation in leisure activity contribute t…
Outdoor recreation participation: A comparative analysis
The relationship of demographic variables to participation in outdoor recreation has been studied with both practical and theoretical aims. However, the results of demographic analysis have been disappointing in their failure to verify an adequate model of prediction for population aggregates. The 1977 Outdoor Recreation Telephone Survey is analyzed with stepwise multiple regression, an associational matrix, and contingency tables. While variance…

A revised paradigm of leisure choices
A theory‐based model distinguishing three kinds of leisure from required nonwork activity has been examined through research on adult leisure in three communities. In the research sequence, the defining dimension of relative freedom and constraint is found central to the perceptions of respondents, but the work‐relation dimension does not significantly differentiate types of leisure. The model is revised to replace work‐relation with meaning to t…

Life Styles and Leisure Choices
Exceptions to stereotypes of leisure behavior suggest that leisure may be chosen by the participant more than determined by social position. Unconditional, coordinated, and complementary types of leisure are distinguished by orientations toward intrinsic satisfaction or role expectations. A social career of leisure based on these orientations is outlined in relation to parenthood and non-work life styles

Leisure styles: A hidden core
Factor analysis has been employed in a number of North American and European studies to categorize leisure activities according to participation patterns. The resulting factors have been the basis of proposed labels for leisure styles. Since the results of the factor analyses have been found to vary with the relative heterogeneity of samples and activities studied, comparison of previous findings with a more varied sample and activity list is ind…
Three Measures of Leisure Activity: A Note on the Continued Incommensurability of Oranges, Apples and Artichokes
The three common measures of leisure participation are time, expenditure, and relative value. Time is weighted by frequency and duration of participation. Expenditure is quantitative and value ordinal. The results of such weighting are compared by finding for 78 residents of a western city the correlations of the ranks of their "10 most important" nonwork activities as measured by time, expenditure, and relative value. TauB is used as a measure o…

Commodification of Leisure: Trend or Tract
A variety of Marxist critical arguments assert that leisure in modern capitalist societies is an extension of alienation and a denial of authenticity. Commodification of leisure is understood as a necessary element in the subordination of the entire social system to the reproduction of capitalism and its institutional structure. The consequence for the worker is an acquiescence to leisure that turns away from existential creative activity to the …

This volume, first published in 1975 with a new introduction by Ziona Strelitz, marked a pioneering contribution to family and leisure studies. The study includes empirical material collected in the form of biographical case studies. The case studies are not only rich in detail and well presented, but they provide a meaning of leisure within the pattern of life of the individuals studied. This book will be of great interest to students of leisure…

Popular Culture: Why Is It Popular
Although popular culture is a product of the economic market, its meaning and appeal cannot be explained simply as entrepreneurial manipulation. As a part of leisure, popular culture choices change as different sets of goals, associations, and role expectations are developed through the life course. The popular culture symbols, rituals, and activities of youth may be the most dramatic example of how such choices are a working out of the developme…
