The enjoyable moments of day-to-day life

A question of activities - and their context

Insee Première N°1378 - November 2011

Source

The 2010 Time Use Survey conducted by INSEE was carried out from September 2009 to September 2010. Between March 2010 and September 2010, a subsample of respondents (aged 11 or over) filled out two logs describing their activities and their enjoyment of time spent in 10-minute time steps over a full day (weekday and weekend day). 1,661 individuals responded and 2,665 logs were completed.

Definitions

Principal activity : unless otherwise mentioned in the study of journey times, the durations given refer to respondents' principal activities, i.e. the activity they selected as the most important if they were performing several activities simultaneously (e.g. eating while watching the television).

Average rating : the same activity may be repeated several times in the course of a single day (for example, we eat several meals). The scores given here are averages of the ratings given for these activities at different times of the day.
