What time diary measures suggest. aug: au: Robinson, John P. Bostrom, Ann su: Social surveys -- Methodology sug: subj: Social surveys -- Methodology ab: A comparison between workweek estimates and actual time worked as recorded through comprehensive time diaries shows that most people overestimate their workweek. The amount of time people spend at their jobs can be an important social and economic indicator, since a central argument of the rising quality of life in the 20th century Western countries has been the reduction in the hours people spend at work. Research shows systematic and significant deviations from the workweeks that people estimate and the time devoted to work that these people report in total time diaries that they keep. This reflects the greater accuracy of the diary or its greater detail, which allows for more precise work activities. The values of the estimate-diary deviations were negative among those claiming to be unemployed or estimating under 20 hours of work per week, slightly above average for those estimating 20- to 44-hour workweeks, and progressively greater as estimates rose. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
