People not satisfied
with life of choices
By JOHN CUNNIFF
AP Business Analyst
NEW YORK (AP) - Many of
us tenaciously believe the road
to greater happiness is paved
with leisure time, but a man
who claims to know says the
view is full of potholes.
John Robinson measured to
the minute how people use their
24 hours. He convinced 1,244 ur
ban and suburban individuals to
keep diaries, and then he
dissected and analyzed and cor
related the results and asked for
more.
The pattern is unmistakable:
“Too much free time is a
greater burden than to little
free time.” Robinson found that
people least satisfied with life
were those with the most time to
exercise options or choices.
Further conclusions may be
drawn from the evidence, but
one that particularly intrigues
Robinson, whose research was
financed by National Science
Foundation grants, is that free
time might be an idolatrous
god.
No, the work ethic isn’t dead,
but for many the goal of work is
leisure — on evenings, week
ends, vacations, retirement. It
is the target of unions. Sociolo
gists sometimes advocate it,
advertising almost always.
Leisure may in fact be the na
tional ambition.
Robinson, a Ph. D., commu
nications professor and director
of communications research at
Cleveland State University,
maintains we ought to reflect
more about what we do with our
time. Perhaps keep a 24 hour
diary.
His cross-section of Ameri
cans did that and then turned
the sheets over to him. After
years of computer analysis he
recently produced “How
Americans Use Time”
(Praeger Publishers, New
York).
While the individual respond
ents might have been surprised
at their own revelations, Robin
son probably wasn’t any less so.
Maybe you won’t be either.
—The dominant difference in
the way time-usage breaks
down is along lines of sex. Only
minimal differences result from
age, income, region, education
and the like. But 80 per cent of
time given to housework-child
rearing is by women.
The men simply do not con
tribute what seems to be a fair
share aound the house. Even
when the woman works outside
the home, the man is unlikely to
make a major contribution. And

many women say they don’t
want his help.
With more women entering
the labor force, there could be
immediate consequences of this
division of labor. If, for in
stance, women have less time
for child rearing, and the men
don’t help, how will children be
brought up?
—Americans are more likely
than Europeans to spend time
visiting, in sports activities and
in watching television. About
two to 2M: hours a day are spent
before the TV set — strike that
and make it read: With the TV•
set on.
There is a reason for the
choice of phrasing. Robinson is
an inquisitive and wary person
who once attached cameras to
home television sets. Monitor
ing them, he often found the set
on and the room empty.
People also divide their TV
time, as they do other activities,
with knitting, eating and,
contradictory though it seems
to be, reading newspapers,
books or magazines. Their eye
balls, he says, are not always
aimed where you think they are.
One-half hour of that TV time,
fact, is secondary viewing. Only
the French measure higher in
this category, and that’s
because TV has become part of;
the French dinner hour, or two
or three.
American men spend 40 min
utes with newspapers, which
makes them more avid news
paper readers than men in other ;
nations, Robinson finds. But 14
of those minutes are secondary.
For housewives the numbers ■
are 21 and 10.
There is no limit to John
Robinson’s computer facts.
This is only a fragment. But an
observation rising out of the
statistical mass is that most of
everyone’s day is structured —
by work, sleep and travel.
Free men and women we call
ourselves, but employed men
have about 3.8 hours of free
time’ employed women 3.2 and
housewives 5.2 hours.
What’s free time? Socializing
and recreation, including vis
iting, conversations, sports,
hobbies, relaxation; time spent
with newspapers, TV, movies
and other mass media; organ
izational activities such as
church, PTA, adult education.
Free? What’s free about all
that? perhaps therein is a clue
to why those with the most free
time, so-called, say their lives
are the least satisfactory.
