What are developmental changes or trends in leisure activities?

ANSWER:


Young adults tend to participate in a wider range of leisure activities and in activities that are more intense, such as scuba diving or hang gliding. Middle-aged adults tend to focus on family and home leisure activities. Those in older age do more sedentary leisure activities, like reading or watching TV. However, participation in young adulthood tends to predict participation in older adulthood. Overall, one's preference for certain leisure activities is set early in life. What changes across time is how physically intense one's participation is. Overall, cross-cultural research supports the idea that participating in leisure activities is associated with well-being across the life course.
