Abstract
Analysis of individual time-allocation will continue to increase as researchers link time-allocation behavior with transportation and energy demand, urban design, family organization, and other topics. Past research has not evolved a comprehensive theory of individual time-allocation. In this paper the author offers a series of social-psychological contributions to the development of a theory of individual time-allocation designed to provide a framework upon which to base time-allocation research. This paper is divided into four sections. In the first section are outlined three omniprevalent concerns which motivate human behavior. In the second section a three-part strategy is suggested which individuals utilize in the development of purposeful behavior. In the third section, six general exogenous factors which may affect time allocation are listed. Last, it is hypothesized that individuals synthesize concerns, strategy, and factors into the creation of an activity-based behavioral schedule.
