Forty-three children participated in in-depth interviews and photo journal projects. Four pathways were identified by which peers influence leisure behaviors. First, findings illustrated that friendship formation, and social interaction activities were important indicators of leisure participation. These friendship group formations enabled many children to participate in select activities based upon similar leisure interests, gender membership, and peer status. Secondly, leisure preferences were influenced by positive and negative peer group role modeling. Positive friendship relationships were depicted as providing support in academic enrichment, socialization and emotional situations. Conversely, non-supportive or negative role modeling was illustrated through deviant children's attempts to influence participation and to engage in illegal or deviant activities.

The social and physical aspects of the neighborhood were found to affect children's leisure.

Despite these conditions, various neighborhood organizations were effective in providing important resources to support childr…
