Using multi-week travel diary data from Germany, this study examines intrapersonal variability in leisure activity-travel behavior. In particular, it investigates whether individuals from one-worker households have greater intrapersonal variability in leisure activity-travel patterns than those from two-worker households. The paper examines differences in intrapersonal variability behaviors concerning trip frequency, activity duration, travel time and travel distance by comparing females from one-worker households and females from two-worker households in the context of leisure travel and activity. Similar analyses were also conducted for males. The results of analysis suggest that intrapersonal variability in leisure activity-travel patterns varies across individuals and households. The results further confirm the hypothesis that individuals from one-worker households had greater intrapersonal variability for several behavioral patterns than those from two-worker households. Social characteristics, auto ownership and location were found to statistically affect intrapersonal variability in leisure activities and travels.
