“…Not surprisingly, long-term patients have been shown to be less active than recent admissions (Rice et al,196 I). One factor which differentiates schizophrenic populations from others is the degree to which they participate in active forms of leisure pursuits (Harrington & Cross, 1962) but not the amount of inactive leisure pursuits (Denney & Myersohn, 1957;Robertson, 1957;Campbell & McCreadie, 1983). Nevertheless, as many as 78 per cent of schizophrenics report that they have used exercise in some way to reduce hallucinations (Falloon & Talbot, 1981).…”

Forty schizophrenic patients were rated both by nurses (using the NOSIE) and by themselves on days soon after they had completed a period of activity. When compared with less active days, significant improvement was seen in most behaviours measured following activity, suggesting that activity is beneficial in the treatment of a population whose level of activity is restricted. Greatest improvement was found in less severely disturbed patients, more overweight individuals, females and those with lower levels of normal activity.

Recreational HILMI IBRAHIMZeigler's device, "How preference and i . personal1 t y I I d o y o u rrite yourself recreationally," was used to classify 103 inale and 104 female students into four categories: recreationally outstanding, above average, average, and below average. California Psychological Inventory (CPI) w m administered to all subjects. Analyses of variance were conducted to find out if significant differences existed among the four groups of men and the four groups of women. The two groups were reclassified ciccorditi'q to t y p e of activity or cluster of activities preferred: physical, social, communicative, aesthetic, and learnings; and another set of analyses of vciricince.~ wus conducted among these new groups. Alrhough the F tests revederl that there were significant differences in some, but not all, of the traits of personnlity among the groups, it was concluded that the eviclenc,e is not .strong enough to indicate that there are differences between the personulities of those who are recreationally inclined and ihose who are nor recretrtionally inclined. Also, it was concluded that there was not enough .stciti.stical evidence to support the notion that the personalities of those who ure inclined toward sport, socinl activities, communication, aesthetics, or hobbies would vary significantly.

Recreation is a sphere of human behavior that has been relatively neglected in social research but has assumed ever-increasing importance with the improvement of the standard of living of the American population. It has recently been the subject of a very extensive report by the Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Commission. This article discusses rather broadly the uses of recreation surveys.Abbott L.
