Solution
The research shows unique patterns in how males and girls use leisure time. Both genders share common hobbies, including reading books and comics, viewing films and music, and socialising. However, there are significant variations in other activities. Girls tend to be more socially active and spend more time speaking with friends than boys. Boys prioritise physical activities, such as sports and games. Research indicates that girls prioritise socialising above physical and competitive activities in their spare time. Recognising gender disparities can help customise leisure programmes to teenagers' preferences.
