| Abstract: | Abstract Initially an inventory was constructed to measure certain configurations of leisure behavior to include the frequency of participation in 70 commonly practiced leisure time and recreational activities. After pretesting, the inventory was submitted to 120 males who had been randomly selected from the City Directory for Austin, Texas. The 75 responses which were completed and returned were sorted into four major age groups. The responses were subjected to a multiple discriminant analysis procedure to determine whether the groups could be distinguished from each other on the basis of the entire profile. Significant discrimination between the four age groups was demonstrated. Three discriminant functions were obtained and 14 of the 70 inventory items were found to be the highest contributors to the three derived discriminant functions. |
