Abstract
In a study designed to determine differences in room use between blue-collar families and white-collar families, one hundred homemakers in Hendricks County, Indiana, were interviewed concerning the activities that occurred in their homes between the 5–6 p.m. hour. No significant differences were found in total room use for the various activities participated in. Also, no significant differences between blue- and white-collar families were found in the use of individual rooms, except in the living room. Blue-collar families showed significantly more leisure activities occurring in the living room than white-collar families.
