Abstract:
Examines the relationship between perceived sociability in the parental family and present marital leisure patterns. Data were collected from a sample of middle class intact families (n=431). Results indicate no significant correlation between marital sociability of the respondents and their parents. Controls on stage of family life cycle and intergenerational economic mobility reaffirm the weakness of family leisure perception as a factor in marital sociability.
