This concise formula sums up a phenomenon that causes widespread bewilderment. Whether politicians or sociologists, trade unionists or business owners, and ultimately the affected citizens themselves, they all face the dilemma that increased free time often brings not the hoped-for enjoyment, but rather annoyance.<br \/>\nKlagten bei einer Repr\u00e4sentativumfrage des Allensbacher Instituts f\u00fcr Demoskopie im Jahre 1953 nur 18 %der Bev\u00f6lkerung \u00fcber Langeweile, so hat sich dieser Anteil, wie das BAT Freizeit-Forschungsinstitut ermittelte, mit rund 34 % inzwischen fast verdoppelt. Wie aus der neuen repr\u00e4sentativen Befragung von 2.000 Personen \u00fcber 14 Jahre hervorgeht, ist vom Leiden der Langeweile am st\u00e4rksten die Gruppe der Nichtberufst\u00e4tigen betroffen. 41 % der Sch\u00fcler, 38% der Hausfrauen, 38 % der Rentner und Pension\u00e4re sowie verst\u00e4ndlicherweise, \u00fcber die H\u00e4lfte der Arbeitslosen, f\u00fchren das Heer der Langeweiler an, denen an Sonntagen und Feiertagen \u201edie Zeit so lang wird\u201c, da\u00df ihnen die \u201eDecke auf den Kopf f\u00e4llt\u201c.<br \/>\nThe BAT researchers found that the personal ability of many German citizens to make satisfying use of their leisure time lags behind the societal demand for more leisure time. Leisure studies are not yet included in any school curriculum. But perhaps the time is not far off when learning about leisure activities will be recognized as a new educational task for schools.<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Singles: Sex yes, relationship no<\/h2>\n<p>Singles aren&#039;t particularly fortunate when it comes to their sex lives. While they\u2014especially younger ones\u2014have the opportunity for a multitude of casual partners, they don&#039;t find true satisfaction in them. They suffer from the psychological barrier to building deeper interpersonal relationships. As a result, sexual contact remains superficial and cannot offer the same satisfaction as a lasting emotional bond.<br \/>\nAs the BAT Leisure Research Institute discovered in a qualitative survey, life is made even more difficult for singles by the fact that their environment expects them to have a more sex-oriented approach to leisure activities. When asked about their desired or aspirational ideas regarding contact with other people, &quot;sex and flirting&quot; (9 %) only ranks third, after &quot;being with friends&quot; (35 %) and &quot;preferring to be alone&quot; (11 %). According to the leisure researchers, this clearly demonstrates that the high-life image and reality do not align.<br \/>\nThe relationship problems of singles are the late consequence of a narcissistic imprint, as psychologists say, that is, an early-developed unconscious self-love that leaves no special room for other love objects.<br \/>\nThese singles suffer from an inability to further develop existing relationships. If a bond threatens to become too close, they flee from that community to avoid losing their identity or being swallowed up, as they put it. This flight from love is painful because the longing for closeness and security remains. They turn to a new partner, initially maintaining a comforting distance. And the cycle begins anew.<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeder dritte Bundesb\u00fcrger langweilt sich Freizeit schon in der Schule lernen?
