Glyptis S. A. (1981) Leisure life-styles, Reg. Studies 15, 311–326. This paper examines the life-styles and leisure activity patterns of a sample (595) of countryside visitors in the Hull area. Details of individuals' activities, use of time, companions and perception of pursuits as “work” or “leisure” were obtained from time budget diaries. For several activities participation rates differed significantly from the population averages shown by national and regional participation surveys, suggesting that certain elements in the life-styles of countryside visitors distinguish them from the population at large. This is further endorsed by an analysis of participant profiles and a classification of life-styles, which revealed fewer distinctions in the activity patterns of different social classes than population figures would lead one to expect. This paper concludes by discussing the implications of these findings for leisure providers and further research.
