Group Size and Leisure Activity Behavior Among Antarctic Volunteers

Abstract

Questionnaires indicating amount of time spent in each of 20 leisure activities were administered on two occasions, early winter and late winter, to 171 Navy enlisted men and 103 civilian scientists who were assigned to Antarctic stations for one year. Station sizes ranged from 8 to 30 members, and groups were divided into two categories by size. The most striking finding was the relatively low level of leisure activities at the smaller stations. It appeared that larger stations afforded more recreational facilities and also more opportunities for social interactions.
