Variation in Strategic Involvement in Games for Three Blue Collar Occupations
Seventy-four respondents drawn from three blue collar occupations in Halifax, Nova Scotia maintained diaries of their leisure activities for one week. Forty-one workers played games.

On a lar…

The validity of time‐budget studies
The validity of time‐budget studies was tested by comparing leisure participation data from the Halifax time‐budget study with similar data obtained from a leisure time recall questionnaire. Care was taken to ensure that the population under consideration in the two data sets was the same. Leisure participation was measured according to the frequency and duration of ten leisure activities. Since the two data sets showed similar rates of participa…

Generally, respondents seem to have reacted to easily ascertainable characteristics of the interviewers, such as sex, status (as measured by education, occupation, and clothing), and religion. The attitudes of the interviewer toward his interviewing were also related to respo…
