Abstract
AbstractThis research investigated the relationship between sex role and nine motives for pursuing leisure activities. It was found that the motives of seeking fun/pleasure, escaping reality, seeking adventure, seeking excitement, and deep involvement were significantly related to psychological androgyny. Psychologically masculine individuals were found to be significantly inclined toward perfection, alertness and competitiveness during leisure activities. Sex role was found to consistently explain more variance in leisure activity motives, than was biological gender.KEYWORDS: leisure motivessex rolegenderpersonality

Evidence is presented that when asked to indicate which of a series of paired activities they would prefer to perform for pay while being photographed, sex-typed subjects were more likely than either androgynous or sex-reversed subjects to prefer sex-appropriate activity and to resist sex-inappropriate activity, even though such choices cost them money.
