  • Shaping Camper Behavior to Protect Wildlife: Effects of a Social Marketing Approach in National Parks

    Katie M Abrams, Alia M Dietsch et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Communication2025

    Wildlife seeking human food in campgrounds creates persistent management challenges in national parks. This study examined how a social marketing intervention, based on a behavior change model, influenced campers to responsibly manage food and other items that might attract wildlife. We made 5,458 observations of campsites across four national parks using a quasi-experimental design to compare behavior in treatment and control groups, in parks wi…

  • Birds are not the only ones impacted by guidance to cease bird feeding

    Open AccessAshley A Dayer, P Christy Pototsky et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2024

    Humans have a particularly strong connection with birds, driving the enormous popularity of residential bird feeding in much of the world. We conducted a web search to document US state wildlife management agency responses to two recent avian disease outbreaks, finding that 23 agencies made recommendations to cease feeding wild birds in 2021–2022. The psychological benefits of bird feeding for humans are well‐documented but often overlooked in ma…

    The following article contains language, including discussion of racialized trauma, violent oppression, and more, that could trigger strong emotions and other physiological reactions. Our intent is not to retraumatize anyone, but to instead center the voices and experiences of people who have transgressed significant historical trauma and long sought lasting change and equitable outcomes for all

  • Hunting for acceptance: Ohio’s experience with recent bobcat harvest proposals reveals a dilemma agencies will increasingly face

    Kristina M Slagle, Alia M Dietsch et al.ARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2019

    State fish and wildlife management agencies in the United States (hereafter, agencies) traditionally rely heavily on natural science disciplines (e.g., population ecology) to evaluate management in

  • Implications of human value shift and persistence for biodiversity conservation

    Open AccessMichael J Manfredo, Tara L Teel et al.ARTICLEConservation Biology2016

    Large‐scale change in human values and associated behavior change is believed by some to be the ultimate solution to achieve global biodiversity conservation. Yet little is known about the dynamics of values. We contribute to this area of inquiry by examining the trajectory of values affecting views of wildlife in North America. Using data from a 19‐state study in the United States and global data from the Schwartz Value Survey, we explored quest…

  • Does Age Matter? The Influence of Age on Response Rates in a Mixed-Mode Survey

    Larry M Gigliotti, Larry Gigliotti et al.ARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2014

    The appeal of cost savings and faster results has fish and wildlife management agencies considering the use of Internet surveys instead of traditional mail surveys to collect information from their constituents. Internet surveys, however, may suffer from differential age-related response rates, potentially producing biased results if certain age groups respond to Internet surveys differently than they do to mail surveys. We examined this concern …

  • Appropriate Uses and Considerations for Online Surveying in Human Dimensions Research

    Natalie R Sexton, Holly M Miller et al.ARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2011

    Online surveying has gained attention in recent years for its applicability to human dimensions research as an efficient and inexpensive data-collection method; however, online surveying is not a panacea. In this article, we provide some guidelines for alleviating or avoiding the criticisms and pitfalls suggested of online survey methods and explore two case studies demonstrating different approaches to online surveying. The first was a mixed-mod…
