Social activities have received only scant attention in activity-based analysis. These activities commonly have been considered as one coherent group or have been combined with other discrete activities. Because more knowledge about social activities and commitments is needed, several descriptive and explanatory analyses are presented to examine the differences in the scheduling of various social activities. Results indicate that different kinds of social commitments and activities show distinct scheduling patterns.
