      ab: A study was conducted to examine the allocation of social time to self, family, friends, and pets and to explore the associations between these time allocations and two measures of well-being. Subjects were a group of 173 community-dwelling men and women aged between 35 and 55 years. Findings revealed that time allocation was strongly linked to income, that individuals with high incomes spent more time with family, and that time spent with pets was second only to time spent with family. In addition, it was observed that time allocations were related to a measure of negative mood for men. Furthermore, it was noted that time allocations were independent of positive and negative well-being measures for women but that time spent with pets was related to negative mood in men. These results are considered in terms of the emerging importance of income and time use in middle-aged persons.
