Summary:A content analysis from 1900-1960 was conducted on four class related magazines specifying the type and kind of leisure activities which were published for their respective readers. Both quantitative and qualitative trends were reported within the upper and upper middle class as well as for the lower middle class. Between class differences were also analyzed and proved significant for the sixty-year period. These findings were related to cross-sectional studies on class and leisure that revealed comparability between the various sources of data, thereby giving additional support to the class-leisure relationship.
