Adolescent Leisure across European Nations.
Flammer, August; Schaffner, Brigitta
New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, n99 p65-77 Spr 2003
Examined variations in adolescent time use within Europe and their relation to culture, focusing on organization of free time, most frequent leisure activities, and resulting emotional states. Found that European adolescents spent free time in a range of activities, including electronic media, computer games, playing musical instruments, reading, and sports. Free time use varied due to the organization of the school day, culture, and economic affluence. (KB)
