Abstract
The purpose of this study was to ascertain the validity of popular definitions of recreation and leisure. High school students volunteered to participate in the study. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of four possible stimulus word by response method groups. Subjects responded to either 'recreation' or 'leisure' using a production method or a sit and think method. Findings revealed that subjects defined 'leisure' as pleasure (and related terms) and specific passive activities. Like 'leisure', 'recreation' was defined by pleasure (and related terms), but the specific terms used to define 'recreation' were often active sports.
