MPRC Seminar Series: "Some New Social Trends for a New Century Part 1"
Description:
Speaker: John P. Robinson, Professor, Department of Sociology, University of Maryland
About the Talk: The new century has seen some new trends in attitudes and behavior, particularly in relation to how people spend time. Main focus in this presentation is on trends in subjective time, that is in feelings of being rushed, never having time to complete activities and feeling tired after a day at work. These are contrasted with ATUS and earlier trends on the amount of free time and sleep time people report in time diaries, and with four-decade GSS trends in happiness and subjective well-being.
