ABSTRACT
It is important to note that these overlaps do not result from individual activities loading simultaneously on two dimensions, but instead from a dimension skipping over some activities and including others farther around the circumplex. In other words, planned vs. spontaneous does not adequately capture the distinctions adolescents now make in their activities with their parents. We suspect, instead, that the 'non-routine' activities were generally pleasant and/or involving, while the 'routine' activities were also emotionally neutral and uninvolving.
