The question can be put simply: Considering the fact that quantitative surveys such as activity studies are dominant in leisure research, especially in the German speaking tradition, we have to ask how far conventional approaches can give us relevant insights about gender-specific leisure. On the basis of an empirical research conducted in Switzerland, three levels of interpretation of behavioral data are discussed: a) differences on a factual level, b) on a group- internal level and c) on an evaluative level of perception and valuation. It is shown that behavioral data as such, easily hide important knowlege and differences of gender-specific leisure as long as quantitative research does not include questions related to the third level mentioned
