Abstract
This article examines conceptually the relationship between timestyle—the customary manner in which one perceives and thinks about time—and leisure decisions. The authors suggest that individuals’ timestyles can be described via four key dimensions, namely, social, temporal, planning, and polychronic orientations. Further, it is posited that these four dimensions of timestyle influence leisure activity decisions through their impact on categorization processes implicated in time perception. Propositions are offered for the linkages between timestyle and temporal category structures, the various factors that likely affect the categorization of any particular unit of leisure time, and how categorization of a leisure time unit in turn leads to the formation of a small-sized consideration set of leisure activity choices.
