ABSTRACT:
The relationship between adolescent and adult leisure activities was assessed by utilizing longitudinal data from 1298 subjects studied during their high school years and again when they were in their early fifties. For the sample members, the greater the involvement in a specific type of activity during adolescence, the more frequent the participation in the same type of activity at midlife. This was true in regard to participation in formal organizations; socializing; intellectual, creative, and artistic activities; and (for women) sports activities. The positive relationship between adolescent and adult leisure choices was stronger for women than for men in the areas of creative/artistic and sports activities. Uses data from a 37-year follow-up study of persons (n=1298) first surveyed when they were high school sophomores in 1947, and restudied in 1984, to address directly the consistency between reported adolescent leisure-time involvement and midlife participation of men and women in various activities. Finds that the greater the involvement in a specific type of activity during adolescence, the more frequent the participation in the same type of activity at midlife, with respect to involvement in formal organizations, socializing, intellectual/creative/artistic activities, and (for women) sports activities. Results indicate that the positive relationship between adolescent and adult leisure choices is stronger for women than for men in the areas of creative/artistic and sports activities.
