Abstract

As VCRs become increasing instrumental to the rhythm of everyday life, questions arise as to how the enhanced ability to control video media affects peoples lives, both attitudinally and behaviorally. This study was concerned with identifying the role of the VCR in leisure, both as an activity in itself and as a mechanism for prioritizing leisure activities.
