Abstract:
The aim of this research is to conduct a comparative study between the pattern and way of spending leisure time among youth and parents in Tehran in 1392. In this study, the type of leisure spending (media-based and non-media-based) was conducted based on two patterns, individual and collective, among 202 young people aged 16-24 in Tehran and their parents. The research method used in this study is a survey, and the main tool for data collection is a questionnaire. The results indicate that the amount of leisure time among youth is greater than among parents. Among media types, domestic television holds significant importance during the leisure time of both youth and their parents.
