Enforced leisure: Time use and its well-being implications
The article examines well-being and social implications of "enforced leisure" resulting from unemployment and underemployment. The first part of the article reviews statistical and research evidence about social and well-being implications of unemployment and underemployment in the context of "technological unemployment" and globalization. The second part examines well-being implications of enforced leisure (due to being unemployed or working par…
Emploi du temps, résultats scolaires et bien-être chez les adolescents. Quel rôle pour les parents
Cadre de recherche : L’écart générationnel grandissant entre les parents et adolescents a retenu l’attention des chercheurs depuis les années 1920. L’augmentation de cet écart a souvent été attribuée au rôle croissant des médias et des pairs dans la vie des adolescents. Objectifs : Les changements dans le rôle joué par les parents, les médias et les pairs dans la vie des adolescents sont examinés à la lumière de leur gestion du temps. Les données…
What Happened to the Society of Leisure? Of the Gap Between the 'Haves' and 'Have Nots' (Canadian Time Use and Well-Being Trends)
Work and leisure in Thomas More’s Utopia
Relationship between work and leisure lays at the core of Thomas More’s political concerns and his vision of a Utopian society, but received little systematic research attention. This article addresses a question that has been often raised – whether Utopia expresses More’s views or is just a jest, since it in so many ways conflicts with his subsequent political stands and pronouncements. The article examines More’s vision of work and leisure with…
Sunday blues: Have Sunday time use and its emotional connotations changed over the past two decades
Historical changes in the use of time have long attracted researchers' attention. Less attention has been paid to the changing configuration of time use on different days of the week. This article uses time use data collected by Statistics Canada from 1981 to 2005, and experience sampling data collected in 1985 and 2003 in Ontario (Canada) to examine changes in the allocation of time to paid work, housework, shopping, child care, personal needs, …

Adolescent Time Use, Eating Habits, and Obesity
Rising obesity rates among Canadian adolescents have created concerns about population health and implications for the health care system. As part of the Ontario Adolescent Time Use Study (OATUS) 2001/03, 2,113 students aged 12 to 19 reported on time use, physical health, well-being, social relationships, and academic performance. Students were classified by Body Mass Index into weight categories of underweight, normal weight, overweight and obes…

The Effects of Physically Active Leisure on Stress-Health Relationships
Time Use, Time Pressure, Personal Stress, Mental Health, and Life Satisfaction from a Life Cycle Perspective
The article examines relationships between the use of time, subjectively perceived time pressure, life stress, mental health, and life satisfaction from a life cycle perspective, using data collected as part of the 1986 and 1992 Canadian General Social Surveys, and the 1994 Canadian National Population Health Survey. Analyses reported in the article suggest that subjective sense of time pressure is grounded in objective reality. Respondents and l…

The 'harried leisure class' revisited: Dutch and Canadian trends in the use of time from the 1970s to the 1990s
Data from five national time use surveys in the Netherlands (1975 to 1995), and three time use surveys in Canada (1981 to 1992) are examined in an attempt to answer two questions: (1) Have people living in industrial societies gained or lost free time during the last two decades? (2) To what extent are the combined pressures of work and domestic obligations, alluded to in the literature as 'time pressure' or 'time squeeze' (Linder, 1970; Rifkin, …

Leisure States and “Flow” Experiences: Testing Perceived Freedom and Intrinsic Motivation Hypotheses
Csikszentmihalyi's flow construct has been suggested as a useful model for describing and operationalizing leisure experiences. Data collected during the daily lives of older adults with the Experience Sampling Method were used to determine if flow experiences are more prevalent in conditions predicted by various theorists to foster leisure states. As predicted, freely chosen activities were accompanied by experiences with higher levels of positi…

More Work—Less Leisure? Changing Allocations of Time in Canada, 1981 to 1992
This article assesses changes in the distribution of time to major groups of daily activities in Canada between 1981 and 1992, and identifies social groups which have been exposed during this period to the greatest pressures of paid and unpaid work. The article examines, in particular: (a) trends in the allocation of time to paid work, domestic work, combined loads of paid and unpaid work, personal needs, and free time; (b) the changing compositi…

Life-Cycle Variations in Across-the-Week Allocation of Time to Selected Daily Activities
In this paper, the relationships between three major concepts are examined: life-cycle, daily uses of time, and weekly rhythms of everyday life. Using data drawn from the 1986 General Social Survey (Canada), five life-cycle groupings are compared on the time each devotes to selected activities on each day of the week. Activities examined included work, domestic work, personal needs, and discretionary (leisure) time. Several significant difference…

The nature and variability of leisure constraints in daily life: The case of the physically active leisure of older adults
Research on nonparticipation in leisure activities has focused on reasons and constraints that appear relatively stable or permanent over time and across behavioral contexts. This conceptualization of constraints is likely due to the use of survey methods that obscure the variable nature of constraints and to the greater importance accorded permanent constraints. A research method for monitoring the nature and variability of the leisure constrain…
Gender variations in the weekly rhythms of daily behaviour and experiences
Data used in this article were collected from 182 adults working for major blue‐collar and white‐collar employers in the Kitchener‐Waterloo area (Ontario, Canada) as part of the 1985 Experience Sampling Survey. This article discusses differences in daily lives and accompanying moods of employed population, as a function of gender and calendar week. The article addresses the following questions: (a)How does the weekly rhythm of daily and leisure a…

Social differences in leisure behavior: Measurement and interpretation
This article examines how three major dimensions of leisure behavior, i.e., rates of leisure participation, money expenditure for leisure goods and services and discretionary time available for leisure pursuits, are distributed across various socio‐demographic and socio‐occupational groups. The money expenditures for leisure, it is argued, follow traditional class lines most closely; the rates of leisure participation are characterized by a more …

Semantic Images of High and Popular Culture: Opera vs. Soap Opera
An survey conducted in 1983–84 in Ontario (n=418) showed that the public, in general, is aware and shares the traditional distinctions between ‘high’ and ‘mass’ culture as expressed in opera for the first one and bingo for the other. A common scale was used to classify the various activities under investigation. Considerable differences exist in the semantic valuation of different forms of high and popular culture, which lead the author to conclu…

The Work-Leisure Relationship in Soviet Sociological Discussion
AbstractL’article examine trois positions principales quant au rapport du travail et du loisir dans la sociologie soviétique. Le premiére position suit de très près la ligne marxiste traditionnelle et insiste sur le fait que la nature et la qualité du loisir sont déterminés essentiellement par l’essence et la qualité de travail (hypothèse d’intégration).On peut caractériser la seconde hypothèse comme “segmentaire.” Ce qui signifie que le travail …

Leisure Research in North America: A Critical Retrospective
The author argues that leisure research in North America presently lacks a credible sociological perspective. Five aspects of contemporary leisure research which explain the limited appeal of the notions of leisure and leisure society to social planners, decision makers and politicians are reviewed. Without blaming any specific individual, discipline, or group of scholars, the author focuses on the overall research climate which underline contemp…
