Contextual Constraints on Adolescents' Leisure.
Silbereisen, Rainer K.
New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, n99 p95-101 Spr 2003
Interlinks crucial cultural themes emerging from preceding chapters, highlighting the contextual constraints in adolescents' use of free time. Draws parallels across the nations discussed on issues related to how school molds leisure time, the balance of passive versus active leisure, timing of leisure pursuits, and the cumulative effect of leisure on psychosocial adaptation and individual development. Proposes directions for future research and policies. (KB)
