“…Second, Shannon's (2003) research on Canadian mothers and daughters indicates that despite changes to work and family structures there are similarities in leisure participation. In my research although there are no similarities between my grandmother and I, there are similar patterns that my mother and I share in our participation.…”

In 1914 opportunities for working-class women's sports participation were limited and peripheral, but the 1980s, policy reforms resulted in the then Sports Council identifying women as a 'target group'. Subsequently the notion that barriers to women's participation are issues to be identified and resolved has become commonplace in contemporary sports participation and development. In this paper I wish to track the changes in sports participation in the lives of a group of Lancashire women over the last 98 years, from 1914 to the present day. I do this from a personal perspective by exploring the life history of my grandmother and mother and interweaving this with an autoethnographic narrative of my own experiences. I document the changes from an individual who had no opportunity to engage in sport and physical activity, through to myself who has achieved a career based upon it. These three sporting histories illustrate the shift in women's participation from overt marginalisation from the sports arena to greater acceptance. This change in opportunities to enter the male-dominated world of sport is due to various socio-historical factors. In terms of changes in the broader historical context, women have the vote, legislated rights and the hegemonic dominance of men's sport has been challenged and resisted. In the more specific context of my family history, upward social mobility has opened up both educational and sporting opportunities for me which were not available to my working-class parents or grandparents. These opportunities have enabled me to enjoy a lifestyle which would have been inconceivable for my grandmother. By exploring our sporting histories and, through them, the changes in working-class women's lives in the United Kingdom more generally, my aim is to recognise that the previous generations' struggle for the opportunity to take part in sport has afforded benefits for my generation.

“…In addition, young consumers, as a result of increased emancipation and the availability of credit are becoming a more heavily targeted market segment because they are often the first adopters of products, brands, and trends, as well as having a keen awareness of store images, and price-value concepts (Bristol, 2001). Young consumers are also more likely to adopt and be avid users of fashion and new technology more quickly than mature consumers.Young consumers are also an important consumer group to focus on as the interests they develop at a younger age, are carried through into adulthood (Bristol, 2001;Willits, 1989, 1998;Shannon, 2003;Yoesting and Burkhead, 1973) thus they are a significant future market. Some scholars suggest that young consumers engaging in reckless behaviour is the norm rather than the exception (e.g.…”

Purpose -There have been recent calls for research into the impulse shopping behaviours of adolescent consumers -an important topic because adolescents are: an increasingly important market segment; a segment which has recently been empowered by the availability of easy credit; and which is increasingly targeted by strategic marketing collateral. This paper responds to the call by aiming to focus on the impulse shopping behaviours of adolescents.Design/methodology/approach -The research is qualitative in nature and utilises lengthy mini focus group interviews of both adolescent and adult consumer shoppers. The verbatim transcriptions are then subjected to both manual and automated textual analysis to derive conceptual and thematic maps of each group's discussions in relation to impulse shopping.Findings -Consistent with recent neuropsychological literature on adolescents, the findings show clear differences between adolescents and adults in relation to impulse shopping. Significant differences were found in the areas of antecedent moods, shopping purpose, and the range of perceived constraints which may moderate impulse shopping behaviour. The research also shows that impulse buying among adolescents is a behaviour which is undertaken often in response to stress and/or a need for mood amelioration and further that their conceptualisation of impulse shopping is only distantly related to a deficient set of perceived constraints when compared to adult shoppers.Practical implications -This improved understanding of the bases of adolescent impulse shopping will assist in the design of educational programs to reduce the frequency of adolescent financial problems.Social implications -There may be a reduction in the number of adolescents facing resultant financial hardship.Originality/value -This is the first such study which reports the belief structures of adolescent impulse shoppers versus adults.

“…In this section, I elaborate on leisure behaviour and describe how ethnicity and leisure participation relate to each other, and show that leisure participation and satisfaction are unique to each person, depending upon such factors as culture, class, gender and religion (Chick, 1998;Godbey, 1999;Iso-Ahola, 1989;Kaplan, 1960;Shannon, 2003;Stebbins, 1997).…”
