Note. Data are based on the authors’ calculations from 2010 American Time Use Survey (ATUS) well-being module data obtained from ATUS-X (Hofferth et al., 2013).

^a“Happy,” “Meaningful,” and “Stress” were reported by respondents for the given activity on a 0–6 scale.

^bSubjective well-being rating for “with spouse” for men is significantly different than the rating for “not with spouse” (p < .05).

^cSubjective well-being rating for “with spouse” for women is significantly different than the rating for “not with spouse” (p < .05).

^d“Very Happy,” “Very Meaningful,” and “Any Stress” are dichotomous measures created from the 0–6 scale; “Very Happy” indicates that “Happy” was reported as a 5 or 6, “Very Meaningful” indicates that “Meaningful” was reported as 5 or 6 and “Any Stress” indicates that “Stress” was reported from 1–6. “With Spouse Only” is a subset of “With Spouse” and includes activities during which the only other person present was the respondent's spouse.
