Verma, Suman; Sharma, Deepali
New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, n99 p37-51 Spr 2003
Used the experience sampling method to examine Indian adolescents' use of free time. Found that adolescents' free time use was influenced by both tradition and modernization, and varied according to social class, urban versus rural setting, and gender. Concluded that youth activities continue to reflect the sociocultural and historical nature of leisure and the increasing influence of modernization, media, and globalization. (KB)
