Abstract
This study of a stratified random sample of 171 households in a southern metropolitan area concerned racial differences in perceived constraints affecting participation in leisure activities. Respondents were asked to rank their three most important reasons for nonparticipation in 10 leisure activities. Using a Spearman correlation, African- and Euro-Americans were compared to examine the association between their rankings of leisure constraints. Significant correlations of > .60 between African- and Euro-American rankings of constraints were found for seven (70%) of the leisure activities.Keywords
