Abstract

This article analyses the connection between social networks, social interactions and out-of-home leisure activity generation in the context of Japanese society. A multilevel structural equation modelling approach is used to account for the hierarchical structure of the data. At the ego-alter (self-other) level, results suggest the existence of a complementary effect between face to face interaction and ICT contact propensity that becomes a substitution effect given increasing distance between egos and alters. Furthermore, a mediating effect by face to face interaction between ICT contact propensity and distance was observed. At the ego (self) level, urbanization level, income, network size and club membership were found to have a direct positive effect on leisure propensity and indirectly on ICT contact propensity, while an extraverted personality was positively associated with higher ICT contact propensity.

Results from the 2011 Survey on Time Use and Leisure Activities shows that on average, Japanese spend 9% of all their free time explicitly socializing. This figure; however, excludes time spent in hobbies (17%), and sports (7%), or meals (defined as maintenance task), for which no information is provided on companionship).

If ego is in the lower half of the cohort, match includes cohort below; if ego is in the upper half of the cohort, match includes cohort above.
