Exploring Early Twenty-First Century Developed Forest Camping Experiences and Meanings
This study examines experiences and associated meanings of 38 family groups participating in developed camping. The analysis is guided by discursive social psychology in which expressed meanings reflect interpretive frames campers use to explain experiences. Key elements of camping experience include nature, social interaction, and comfort/convenience. The most common associated meanings are restoration, family functioning, experiencing nature, s…
A Conjoint Analysis of Preference Heterogeneity among Day and Overnight Visitors to the Okefenokee Wilderness
The purpose of this study is to examine preference heterogeneity among day non-motorized, day motorized and overnight visitors to the Okefenokee Wilderness using conjoint analysis. Study results support the hypothesis that the subgroups of Okefenokee Wilderness visitors considered in this study are not homogeneous with respect to their wilderness setting preferences and that they may be better understood by studying similarities and differences i…
Response Format Effects in Questions about Norms
Several studies have demonstrated that altering the format (question wording or presentation format) can alter responses obtained from normative questions. This study extends that research with two experiments. In a study of McKenzie River boaters in Oregon ( n = 225), respondents received either a semiopen (fill in the blank) or closed (scale with anchored points) format of questions about acceptable waiting time at boat launches, percent of tim…
The Dynamic, Emergent, and Multi-Phasic Nature of On-Site Wilderness Experiences
Feelings and cognitions of leisure may not only be dynamic during the course of the total outdoor recreation engagement, they may be dynamic, emergent, and multi-phasic during the on-site phase. Experience Sampling Method data were collected from a sample of wilderness visitors multiple times during a visit to the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. Four modes of environmental experience (focus on self, others, task, and environment) and four as…
On-site Optimal Experiences and Their Relationship to Off-site Benefits
This paper examines: (a) the quantity of optimal experiences got during the on-site phase of outdoor recreation; (b) the quantity of benefits gotten off-site, during the recollection phase of outdoor recreation; and (c) the relationship between (a) and (b). Optimal experiences—a psychological state considered to be special, meaningful, and/or out-of-the-ordinary—are characterized by intense focus on a stimulus, an altered sense of time, and loss …
Nature/Person Transactions During An Outdoor Adventure Experience
Few studies have addressed the changing nature of adventure recreation experience as it unfolds during the activity. This study explores a black-water rafting trip through a cave by examining person/nature transactions at selected points in the journey and by analyzing participants' post-trip written accounts about the experience. Key variables used to define the person-nature transaction included focus of attention, mood states, and perceptions …
Ebb and flow of brief leisure experiences
Four leisure conditions were compared: (a) walking along a rural road, with frequent vista views of a Tuscan landscape; (b) walking in a completely built setting, within a city center; (c) sitting indoors with a panoramic window view of a rural setting; and (d) sitting in a small but comfortable room with no view. Assessed at the beginning, twice during, and at the conclusion of the leisure activity were eight dimensions of experience: anxiety, d…
Beyond the commodity metaphor
In contrast to the dominant multiattribute commodity view of outdoor recreation settings, wilderness users are described as having emotional and symbolic ties to the setting that are manifested as attachment to the site and the wilderness concept. Data from four wilderness areas show stronger place and wilderness attachment to be associated with previous visits, rural residence, a setting (as opposed to activity or group) focus, visiting alone an…
The Effect of Norm-Encounter Compatability On Crowding Perceptions, Experience and Behavior in River Recreation Settings
The concept of social norms has been used to identify the acceptable levels of use for outdoor recreation settings. Little research, however, has addressed whether norms are the basis of evaluations of the social conditions and quality of the experience. This study of recreational floaters of the New River Gorge National River, West Virginia, examines whether differences between stated norms and reported encounters influences perceptions of crowd…
River Float Trip Encounter Norms
Recreationists' norms about acceptable use levels and impacts can help managers make appropriate and defensible decisions. To be useful, a large percentage of recreationists must have norms and there must be shared agreement or consensus among the norms. Contrary to the stated or implied findings of recent published research, fewer than half of the New River whitewater rafters in our study had norms about appropriate encounter levels for most typ…
The Influence of Past Experience on Wilderness Choice
A study of Southern Appalachian backcountry hikers tested the hypothesis that recreationists with high experience levels would have greater differentiation of site attribute values when making recreation choices than would individuals with low experience. Contrary to cognitive development theory, a simulated laboratory choice study found that more experienced subjects employed fewer and broader attribute value categories than did their less exper…
The Learning Benefits of Leisure
Recreation planners, managers, and researchers have given little attention to the learning benefits of leisure. Learning, education, and protecting the environment are high priority concerns for the American people, and only relaxation exceeds learning in importance as a motivator for many leisure activities. Yet, most learning research in leisure settings has focused on short-term attempts to solve specific management problems, rather than enhan…

A Comparative Analysis for Wilderness User Fee Policy
Users at both a fee and a nonfee backcountry area were surveyed between June and September, 1985. User characteristics, trip characteristics, and TCM demand functions all indicated fees did not cause a difference between populations or trip behavior. Responses indicated that users would rather not pay fees than pay them, but that behavior and use patterns would not be drastically altered if fees were implemented. About three-fourths of the respon…
Recreation Specialization and Norms of Depreciative Behavior Among Canoeists
A sample of canoeists on mild whitewater rivers in Virginia was studied to see if attitudes toward depreciative behavior varied with specialization. Sixty-eight potentially depreciative behaviors were identified, and sampled canoeists scaled the seriousness of each in terms of its seriousness as a breach of appropriate behavior. Canoeists were stratified according to a specialization index, and the seriousness ratings of the lowest and highest qu…
A Comparison of the Effectiveness of Two Communication Strategies in Dispersing Wilderness Campers
Two communication strategies, a brochure alone and a brochure plus personal contact, were used to attempt to disperse wilderness campers from a heavily used meadow. An experimental design with observation of treatment effect revealed that both treatments were successful, and no difference was found between them in overall effectiveness. The brochure alone was surprisingly stable across various segments of the camper population. The brochure plus …

A Response to Comments on the Importance of Late Respondent and Nonrespondent Data from Mail Surveys
Notes on the stability of the factor structure of leisure meanings
This paper reports data concerning the stability of the factor structure of leisure meanings in the same recreational activity in two different geographic settings. Leisure meanings were conceptualized as a function of human needs and motivation. Data were obtained through surveys of river floaters in Dinosaur National Monument and Big Bend National Park. Summary findings include: (1) Recreationists did not tend to make fine distinctions between …
Mailed Questionnaire Surveys and the Reluctant Respondent
Using data from a statewide mailed questionnaire survey, the hypothesis that early and late respondents differ in their characteristics, attitudes, and behaviors was examined. No important differences were uncovered in date-of-return analyses using analysis of variance, correlation and regression methods. These findings suggest that the time, effort, and dollars spent in intensive followups to increase recreation survey response rates might bette…
The influence of experience expectations on crowding perceptions and social‐psychological carrying capacities
Carrying capacities for recreation have been difficult to determine because of the tendency to consider perception of crowding as a generalized human value. Rather, such perceptions are a function of the differing expectations people may have for given recreational experiences. A study of Whitewater river recreationists in Dinosaur National Monument showed that persons who score more highly in certain experience expectations are more sensitive to…
