Abstract

Examined age differences and age changes in leisure involvement within framework of abandoment, liberation, and continuity. Data from the 1982-1983 Nationwide Recreation survey of 6,720 persons revealed that neither abandonment nor liberation perspectives were accurate reflections of what happens with aging. A pattern of continuity occurred more often than did other patterns. (Author/NB)
