That is, we cannot distinguish whether, for example, the connection between physical activity and cognitive performance is more straightforwardly physiological (e.g., through concrete channels like brain structure or enhanced executive functioning) or psychological (by being beneficial in themselves or substituting for other behaviors that may offer negative psychic and cognitive value). For whites, the effect of physical and outdoor activity was greater in magnitude than for African Americans, with the opposite true of sedentary behavior and screen timethough the latter two are only significantly predictive at the 10 percent level for the black subsample (table 4).

Taken together, these findings suggest that the impact of the weather on mood is rather ambiguous, and that sunlight seems to affect outcomes chiefly through the act of being in- or outdoorsthat is, through activity and behavior. Behav Sci (Basel). Leisure time activity is often positioned as a key factor in child development, yet we know relatively little about the causal significance of various specific activities or the magnitude of their effects. sharing sensitive information, make sure youre on a federal Such green spaces can lower temperatures by providing shade and water bodies equipped with drinking fountains and opportunities for passive recreational activities. With the emergence of smartphones and tablets, many children may be consuming media while they are primarily waiting for their parents at school, being driven home, and so forth. Influence of Leisure Competence and Level of Leisure Activity on Life Satisfaction in Low-Income Older Adults in Rural South Korea. Thus some children may be substituting physically active behavior for, say, watching television, while for others that same active leisure may be impinging on studying or practicing violin. /Type /XObject However, little research has addressed heat-coping behaviours of elderly residents and whether green spaces play a role for this risk group during heat periods.

While it is only in its earliest stages, the new PSID CDS will be a powerful tool in the future for researchers who seek to understand how behavior affects assessment and achievement.

There are three possible sources of variation in sunlight from wave to wave in our data: 1) the effect of children moving to a qualitatively different climate across waves (e.g., testing in May 1997 and 2002, but having moved from Vermont to Arizona in the interim); 2) the broader changes in weather due to taking the test in different seasonal conditions (e.g., testing in December 1997 and June 2002); and 3) the random weather perturbations that the jagged edges of the curves in figure 1 represent (e.g., engaging in activity and testing during a seasonably sunny few days in May 1997, and then again during a frost in May 2002). Int J Environ Res Public Health. WebOutdoor recreational activities are often thought to be an environmentally benign activity, however more often than not, it has been reported that outdoor recreation can have negative consequences for wildlife. 2015). Much of the literature on child development is animated by long-standing gaps in academic achievement and cognitive assessment. Challenges to this assumption include the possibility that season itself is predictive of cognitive performance. Fairlie, Robert W., and Jonathan Robinson. Leisure and religious activity participation and mental health: gender analysis of older adults in Nepal. McGarel, C., J. J. Outdoor recreation in protected areas negatively impacts wildlife In 1997, the CDS component collected additional data on children (newborns to 12-year-olds) and their parents or guardians. /Length 7 0 R Quantitative work generally supports the notion that material and cultural resources are predictive of enrollment in more formalized activity (Weininger, Lareau, and Conley 2015), and that these cultivated time uses positively predict school achievement and test scores (Gaddis 2013; Jger 2011). /Width 29 The links between pollution and cognitive development are rather clear and well established empirically, with prenatal exposures being particularly damaging (Peterson et al. The present study sought to determine whether there exists a difference in the frequency of participation in passive and active leisure activities, and the effect of participation in passive and active leisure activities on the life satisfaction level of old adults. It is also important to remember that our findings consist of local average treatment effects, where only children that actually accepted the treatmentcompliers, who are induced to go outside in sunny weather but who otherwise might not, for examplecontribute to our estimates. The differences in the effects of physical and outdoor activity are more difficult to speculate on because all children exhibit relatively low levels of either behavior. /Name /im2 We Other work finds that temperatures above 70F tend to induce negative emotions, while even particularly cold weather (<20F) is associated with higher subjective well-being (Noelke et al. Khn, Simone, Tobias Gleich, Robert C. Lorenz, U. Lindenberger, and Jurgen Gallinat. However, some drawbacks can include social isolation and self-deception as a result of errors made. One conclusion is rather clear: in 2014, American children are still engaging in far more passive than active leisure, whatever their background. Using extensive qualitative evidence, Lareau (2000, 2002) describes how the leisure time of children in middle-class families is highly structured and organized compared to the more informal, family-oriented working-class home environment. For total screen time, the effect size is a more modest reduction of about one-fifth of a standard deviation with each additional daily hour. Res Gerontol Nurs. We find robustly positive effects of physical activity and outdoor activity on math scores, with the opposite true for sedentary behavior and screen time. Changes in leisure activities of the elderly due to the COVID-19 in Korea. Thus while we instrument with the average sunlight in KJ/m2 over the 24-hour period consistent with a time diary recorded on, say, Wednesday, June 5, we recognize by virtue of seasonality that we will in many cases be approximating sunlight on Tuesday the fourth, Thursday the sixth, and so on. A total of 460 participants aged 60-95 years were randomly selected from 21 sites in the USA. Related research also highlights a growing SES disparity in adolescent obesity prevalence that is masked by a recent trend of overall stabilization, consistent with gaps in relevant time use (Frederick, Snellman, and Putnam 2014). Negative responses were consistent with the following effects of recreational disturbance at the community, population, or individual (behavioral or physiological) levels: decreased species richness or diversity; decreased survival, reproduction, occurrence, or abundance; behaviors typically assumed to reflect negative responses to anthropogenic We thank Sandra Hofferth, Annette Lareau, Elliott B.

Yet these cognitive improvements may be attributable merely to the timing of the test further along in the school year in the second wave, and the substantial accumulation of knowledge children exhibit by virtue of the additive gains they experience as the school year progresses (Fitzpatrick, Grissmer, and Hastedt 2011). Other work in the realm of public health customarily considers time use as a predictor, focusing on the associations between specific behaviors and phenomena like obesity or attention deficit disorder (Falbe et al. Quasi-experimental studies on the cognitive effects of computer use have found that effects are largely null (Fairlie and Robinson 2013), or negative but modest in magnitude (Vigdor, Ladd, and Martinez 2014). There are also other more clinically significant sun-related factors that work in the opposite direction, and would bias our estimates downward. Moreover, even if behaviors are affecting cognitive performance through a more nebulous channel than raw intellectual ability (i.e., through more robust executive function and impulse control), ultimately they still produce measurable effects on assessment and can be considered net positive or negative. Another crucially important potential source of bias arises from missing data. Peterson, Bradley S., Virginia A. Rauh, Ravi Bansal, Xuejun Hao, Zachary Toth, Giancarlo Nati, Kirwan Walsh, Rachel L. Miller, Franchesca Arias, David Semanek, and Frederica Perera. /Subtype /Image An official website of the United States government. We actually see a small reduction in total screen time, most likely because we code these behaviors as primary rather than secondary activities. In our data, black-white and caregiver college/no college math score gaps are about four-fifths and two-thirds of a standard deviation, respectively, which is broadly consistent with recent estimates of school readiness differences by race and income among similarly aged cohorts (Reardon and Portilla 2015).

To better address issues of endogeneity, we use a combined fixed-effects instrumental variable (FE-IV) approach, where we exploit the variation in weather to estimate the effect of time use on cognition across waves. /Filter /FlateDecode Chay, Kenneth Y., Jonathan Guryan, and Bhashkar Mazumder. While some work does offer experimental evidence of the effects of select activities using randomized control trials (RCT)for example, Loprinzi and Kane (2015)it is difficult to infer how routinized behaviors affect outcomes of interest solely based on interventions among carefully targeted respondent populations. We find evidence that physical and outdoor activity positively influence math performance, while sedentary behavior and screen time exhibit the opposite effect. Another possibility is that the effects we find in FE-IV specifications reflect relationships among compliers in our natural experiment that are not common across the CDS sample (more on this later in the results). We present imputed results alongside our main estimates, as well as conventional OLS and FE specifications. endobj Here, we exploit the robust association between weather patterns and a select subset of leisure activities in attempting to draw a clearer connection between behavior and cognition, a crucially important factor in child development and achievement. /Filter /DCTDecode ;woW5un57t\wzj#1'Rke7loqS;mam*I_]z+=[n&]?HS;mam+/vlwOs>Q>K/vlwOs>Q>K/vlwOs>Q>K+RI$I$_ 1369 8600 Rockville Pike He is also interested in mapping the genetic architecture of phenotypic plasticity, and characterizing social and genetic sorting as distinct processes. 2017 Mar 1;10(2):67-75. doi: 10.3928/19404921-20170224-01. The negative effect of sedentary behavior is less substantial, but still accounts for a reduction of about a fifth of a standard deviation with each additional hour. All remaining errors are ours alone. Not exercising. Indeed, the degradation of folate induced by ultraviolet light has been positioned as a prominent factor in the evolution of melanin content in humans because of its role in fetal neural tube development and related reproductive success (Jablonski and Chaplin 2000).

We also include the dependent variables in our imputation procedure, as suggested by Young and Johnson (2010). 1369 Next, the negative effects of casual, serious, and project-based leisure are taken up. Meanwhile, some leisure is intolerably deviant, whereas other activities are new to society and are therefore in the course of being examined by the general public for their moral implications. Another quality that characterizes some leisure is its annoyingness. Brown, Bruno P. Nunes, Inacio C M Silva, and Pedro C. Hillal. For practical purposes, we believe our findings lend further support to the general notion that, ceteris paribus, physical activity seems to generally be a positive factor in child development, while sedentary and screen behavior seem to evince the opposite effect. endstream Older Adults' Advance Aging and Life Satisfaction Levels: Effects of Lifestyles and Health Capabilities. We then coupled these daily county-level values of sunlight to the PSID CDS based on the individual days when the time diaries were completed and the places children lived using a restricted access version of the core data. Weininger, Elliott B., Annette Lareau, and Dalton Conley. Yet because we found that only a small minority of families move across waves (about 10 percent of the sample over the 10-year span), and even then mostly to geographically proximate locales, we feel this is an unrealistic candidate confounder. Because we view this in theory as more or less a dose-response relationship in the short and medium termlike a milder cousin to other exposures that induce changes in cognitive assessment, like neighborhood violence (e.g., Sharkey 2010)we exclude observations where the WJ-R test was administered before the time diary day, and cap the lag time at nine days so as to avoid an unrealistic coupling of exposure and outcome. Time use patterns among children have long been a popular empirical concern in light of their intuitively influential contributions to developmental trajectory. Extrapolating from effect sizes and average time use/math scores across waves, back-of-the-envelope calculations suggest that differences in behavior may account for nontrivial proportions of the black/white and caregiver college/no college gaps in assessment. Therefore, our previous understanding of harmful StS effects on subsequent strength and power activities has to be updated. eCollection 2022. << In our FE-IV models, each additional daily hour of physical and outdoor activity produced a nearly seven-point gain in math scores, or about 40 percent of a standard deviation (pooled SD = 17.07). Bhattacharya, Debopam, and Bhashkar Mazumder. and transmitted securely. Several longitudinal studies have found early exposure to media and television in both infants and toddlers to predict worse cognitive outcomes later (Tomopoulos et al. We begin by leveraging the longitudinal aspect of the data and employ an individual fixed-effects (FE) approach, which zeros out any time-invariant factors. Our conventional FE estimates, however, render null effects across the board (though removing the education controllength of school day plus homeworkproduces significant results for sedentary behavior and screen time in the expected direction [estimates not shown]). In fact, short-duration StS should be included as an important warm-up component before the uptake of recreational sports activities due to its potential positive effect on flexibility and musculotendinous injury stream Note: Cluster-robust standard errors are in parentheses. Specifications that were not bounded by lag time restrictions produced substantively similar results, but with smaller coefficients and greater precision, consistent with the growth in sample size and reduced signal after including cases where testing substantially lags or precedes treatment. >> Kalil, Ariel, Kathleen M. Ziol-Guest, Rebecca M. Ryan, and Anna J. Markowitz. With respect to video games, Suziedelyte (2015) uses a fixed-effects research design and finds that gaming (both console and computer based) is positively associated with math ability. Scientists from the Southeast Fisheries Science Center have deployed passive acoustic recorders to monitor endangered North Atlantic right whales in the Southeast for the 2023 calving season. The second and third waves followed up on eligible minors in 2002 and 2007, respectively, with any child 18 or over transferring to the Transition to Adulthood (TA) supplement, which consists of a more limited array of data that do not include time diaries or cognitive assessments. Psychometric properties of Leisure Satisfaction Scale (LSS)-short form: a Rasch rating model calibration approach. This raises the possibility of a selection bias mechanism whereby higher-ability children spend more time sedentary or consuming media. Recent work finds that rainfall seems to depress subjective life satisfaction in cross-sectional but not longitudinal models, with effect sizes in the former that are trivial compared to other determinants of mood like economic status (Barrington-Leigh and Behzadnejad 2017).

Sunlight also plays a key role in the formation of ozone (O3) from the environmental precursors of volatile organic compounds (VOC), carbon dioxide (CO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and these chemical reactions are accelerated in higher temperatures. WebPassive activities, such as studying nature, could also have negative impacts. The negative effects of passive recreational activity are: It's important for humanity to have an understanding of nature, and sports or other outdoor activities Future work in the social sciences could integrate these differences in active and passive leisure into theoretical models that seek to explain why life chances so noticeably diverge among children. /Name /im1 While we aggregated many individual activities into cohesive categories in the earlier stages of our analyses, we ultimately include only those that exhibit a robust first-stage association with our weather measures in the full specifications. For the purposes of The extant evidence illustrates that activity (and inactivity) may be related both to physical changes in the brain itself, along with cognitive improvements that can positively affect test performance through numerous channelsincluding those that relate to behavior (e.g., ability to focus) rather than intellectual skill per se. Passive leisure activities become alternative leisure activities for older adults as a result of limited physical capacity. eCollection 2023. 2014 Jul 23;9:24616. doi: 10.3402/qhw.v9.24616.

We use this proxy for weather to instrument for the variation in physical, outdoor, sedentary, and screen-time behaviors based on CDS time diaries. Data missingness is not a trivial concern using PSID-CDS data; in the inaugural 1997 wave, about 20 percent of families otherwise eligible and contributing to the study did not complete time diaries. In this paper we use individual-level fixed effects coupled with a quasi-experimental research design, instrumenting active and sedentary behaviors with sunlight in trying to determine the cognitive effects of time use. Unauthorized use of these marks is strictly prohibited. /Height 42 The result also showed that active leisure activities, such as club/organization or volunteering, home making/maintenance and traveling, were significant predictors of life satisfaction for older adults controlling for covariates. The effects of sedentary behavior and screen time are particularly meaningful, given that by the 2007 wave, the adolescents in our data spent over 2.5 hours each day performing these passive leisure activities. For each of our time use variables, coefficients are about five to six times as large for the children of non-college-educated mothers compared to their peers, and the null results for the latter are likely at least partly due to more modest first-stage associations, which are near or under commonly proposed weak-instrument thresholds.

This work was supported by the MacArthur Foundation Connected Learning Research Network. If higher-SES children are watching National Geographic and their peers are watching daytime talk shows, one might expect a qualitatively different effect. For instance, we might expect less sunlight during a storm spell to result in more sedentary time at home, and less time engaging in physical activity outdoors. *:JZjz ? Oxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford. Whether this is more purely physiological in origin or a reflection of the different psychological effects certain behaviors have on development is an open question, and fertile ground for future research. More recently, the theory of concerted cultivation has been developed as an extension of this work to describe how the child-rearing practices of parents and time uses of children systematically differ by race and social class.
