Using a multiple-indicator multiple-cause model to analyze a 1972-73 national survey of consumer expenditures, the author isolates four patterns of spending on leisure activities and identifies the social and demographic characteristics of people exhibiting each pattern. (Author/RM)

Eight patterns of cultural choice, isolated from data collected in a 1973 national survey using a hand-crafted clustering technique, cannot be arranged in hierarchical order by social class, bringing into question the hypothesized association between culture class and social class. (Author/RM)

Using a stepwise multiple regression analysis of data from a 1964-1965 national urban sample, the author identifies the social and demographic variables that best help to predict each of six factor-analytically derived dimensions of leisure activity. (Author/RM)

Using their own 1978 national survey sample, the authors describe the social and demographic characteristics, psychological needs, and television viewing behaviors of persons who exhibit each of 14 patterns of leisure activities. The patterns were isolated through factor analysis and clustering techniques. (Author/RM)
