Over the past decades, the number of years an average worker may expect to live after retirement has increased (Social Security Advisory Board, 1999), and retirees can expect to live longer in better health conditions (Bass, 2000). Despite these changes, few studies have examined an extensive range of retirees' activities. Having more knowledge about activity participation in retirement is an important starting point for considering specific programs or the service needs of retired older adults.

520 $a Over the past decades, the number of years an average worker may expect to live after retirement has increased (Social Security Advisory Board, 1999), and retirees can expect to live longer in better health conditions (Bass, 2000). Despite these changes, few studies have examined an extensive range of retirees' activities. Having more knowledge about activity participation in retirement is an important starting point for considering specific programs or the service needs of retired older adults.
520 $a This study explored activity participation in retirement using Atchley's continuity theory (1989) and Lawton's model of activity participation (1983b; 1985) as underlying conceptual frameworks. Three main areas of inquiry examined in this study included: (1) the prevalence and pattern of activity participation in pre- and post-retirement; (2) continuity and change of activity participation into retirement; and (3) factors influencing post-retirement activity participation.
520 $a Using data from four waves (1986, 1989, 1994 and 2001/2002) of the Americans' Changing Lives study---a national longitudinal panel survey collected through face-to-face interviews---activities were categorized into the following eight types: formal volunteer work, informal volunteer work (assistance), caregiving, social contact, physical activity, maintenance/improvement work for a car or house, housework, and religious activity. Descriptive analyses were used to explore the prevalence and patterns of activity participation. Through descriptive analyses and logistic regression, continuity and change of activity participation into retirement were examined. Multilevel logistic regression analyses were conducted to explore contributing factors for post-retirement activity participation.
520 $a Findings suggest substantial continuity of activity participation into retirement for all eight activities. Possible explanations for retirement-related changes in activity participation include factors such as having more discretionary time (e.g., with social contact and religious activity) and the mediating effect of employment (e.g., with formal volunteer work). Findings also suggest increased post-retirement participation in activities that are based on interpersonal emotion or social interaction (e.g., social contact and religious activity) and the importance of social environment and social relationship in post-retirement activity participation (e.g., formal and informal volunteer participation). Findings, however, do not support formal volunteer work as a substitute for paid work. Applicability of Lawton's model of activity participation in this study may be limited due to omitted variables, qualitative differences in activities, and the static nature of the model. Implications for programs include pre-retirement recruitment for formal volunteer work and interorganizational efforts to assist older adult retirees with building an informal social network. Further research needs to consider qualitative differences in the nature of activities in order to better understand contributing factors for retirement-related changes in activity participation. Research also needs to be directed towards more comprehensive model development to better understand retirees' decision-making processes regarding their use of time.
