Abstract

Two types of play-action systems-expressive and symbolic labor-are compared to indicate the theoretical value in studying outdoor recreation. Of several possible issues, two are treated: (1) conjugal solidarity and the division of play, and (2) continuities and discontinuities in player identities. For some classes of players symbolic labor systems appear to be more conducive to the development of conjugal solidarity and the provision of continuity in player identities.
