The authors conducted an empirical study in 1990 of 611 mature women in dual-career/earner families who are retired from a work position in the field of education. We test twelve hypotheses that relate frequency of contact, kind of social contact and perceived gap between desired and frequency of actual social contact to satisfaction with women's timing of retirement and leisure. Nine of the twelve hypotheses were confirmed. Women who have more frequent and a greater variety of social contact are more satisfied with the timing of their retirement and their leisure than those who have less contact. The wider the gap between desired and actual frequency contact with specific groups the less satisfied will women be with their leisure experience, their amount of leisure time, and their timing of retirement.
作者于1990年对611名成熟女性进行了实证研究，这些女性来自双职工/双收入家庭，已从教育领域的工作岗位退休。我们检验了12个假设，这些假设将接触频率、社交接触类型以及期望与实际社交接触频率之间的感知差距与女性对退休时间和休闲的满意度联系起来。12个假设中有9个得到了证实。与社交接触较少的女性相比，社交接触更频繁、种类更多的女性对自己的退休时间和休闲更满意。与特定群体期望的和实际的接触频率之间的差距越大，女性对她们的休闲体验、休闲时间量以及退休时间就越不满意。
