Data for this study came from A Study of Leisure during Adulthood (ASOLDA), a 10-year study of the values, attitudes, and perceived freedom in leisure of 84 adults. Individual growth curvemodelingwas used to explore patterns and changewithin leisure domains for the sample. Life structure predicted adults' perceived freedom in leisure while life events were predictive of adults' leisure attitudes. Data from interviews were used to supplement the survey data to provide a better understanding of the predictors of leisure perceptions in this study.
