Sociology
The ‘extension pattern’ that Parker (1976) identified was said to be:
the lifestyle of clerical and unskilled manual workers, who saw leisure time as a chance to escape from alienating work
characteristic of professionals and skilled workers, whose work interests spilled over into leisure time
a neutral balance between work and leisure as neither connected nor oppositional, as evidenced by semi-skilled manual and clerical workers
the tendency of students to leave essay-writing until the last minute and then ask for an extended deadline
characteristic of professionals and skilled workers, whose work interests spilled over into leisure time
Stanley Parker (1976) was interested in the way that different social groups conceptualized their ‘work’ time as distinct from their ‘leisure’ time or ‘free’ time. He identified three main patterns. The segmentalist pattern, found in traditional working class homes, involved a rigid distinction between work (routine, monotonous and a means to an end) and leisure (creative and fun). The extension pattern, found in professional and skilled workers, allowed work to spill over into one’s free time, as it was seen as enjoyable and fulfilling. The neutrality pattern was in between, with no sharp division nor great extension; this was found in semi-skilled, clerical workers. 675
