Siegel was hired by Mono gram Models to find out why more grown men than boys have taken up model building as a hobby. He 'concluded that the leisure afforded by the 40-hour week is a major factor, -combined with .a sort of guilt complex about idleness. Siegel said this feeling of guilt is a hand-me-down from the puritanical philosophy of our forefathers, who regarded idleness as a sin. "On the one hand, men wel come the ever-i ncreasing amount of time away from their jobs," Siegel said. "On the otner, they are conscience bound to spend at least part of that time in constructive activity." The psychologist said building model planes, boats and trains is a light, enjoyable pasttime, but challenging enough to give a man a feeling of accomplish ment. Nice Hobby He said it's a nice hobby for a man who likes to stick close to home and family, but lacks the talent or inclination to plunge into major do-it-yourself projects or gardening. "'Many men look upon work ing around the house as a form of drudgery, a sort of 'second job'," Siegel said. "They feel they have earned the right to take it easy at home." But they still aren't , happy doing nothing, he said. Siegel said model building also is a "rebellion in minia ture" against an age of speciali zation.
