In 1983 the respondents were asked if they had been doing any of the following the day before: watching video, listening to record player or tape recorder. If so, they were asked for how long period. They were also asked if the had been reading any of the following the day before: morning paper, evening paper, weekly magazine or any other magazine, or book. If so, they were asked how many and for how long period. Respondents answering that they did not read any weekly magazine or other magazine the day before were asked if they had been reading any during the last week. In 1983 the book readers were also asked if they were reading the books for their own pleasure or if it was study literature.
