Abstract

|
Older people have been reported to spend a great deal of time engaged in a variety of leisure activities. The purpose of the present study is to review the theoretical validity of time-style and to draw out policy implications in the realm of old people’s leisure activities. Time-style characterizes a set of people’s decisions relating to the allocation of time among various activities involved in their consumption. Time-style is a fairly enduring aspect of the self, changeable only over a relatively long period of time. Older people’s leisure behavior and consumption patterns could be explained by their time-style. Four dimensions of time-style are social orientation, temporal orientation, planning orientation, and poly-chronic orientation. In conclusion, older people’s time-style seems to influence the choice and utilization of leisure services. That is, all four dimensions of time-style could have a systematic effect on older people’s leisure needs and utilization. Policy-makers should be able to realize the full value of time-style in targeting older consumers.
