Expressive flexibility as a buffer in the association between substance use stigma and drug use problems among substance-using individuals with depression
Prior research has linked stigma associated with substance use (e.g., encounters with and anticipation of discrimination, internalization of negative stereotypes) to increased drug use problems, yet little work has examined protective factors that mitigate this association. The current study examined expressive flexibility (i.e., the ability to flexibly enhance and suppress one's emotional expression in accordance with situational demands), an im…
Just getting along, together”
This study examined the relationship between the theme of interdependence in the narratives of American adults with disabilities and psychological well-being across the shifting conditions of the first 3 years of the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast to independence, interdependence has emerged as a focus of research about people with disabilities in both the interdisciplinary field of disability studies and in prior psychological research. In the p…
Trajectories of major depression and generalized anxiety symptoms among people with disabilities during the Covid-19 pandemic
GAD trajectory. The results demonstrate the persistent MD and GAD symptoms experienced by many PWD during the pandemic and the importance of interventions to address PWD's social isolation. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
Ableism in mental healthcare settings
People with disabilities (PWD) face elevated mental health concerns and are more likely to utilize mental health services compared to their nondisabled counterparts, yet they also report higher unmet mental health service needs due to myriad attitudinal and environmental barriers to accessing care. Despite these well-documented disparities, little research has examined the nuanced lived experiences of PWD who receive mental health services. Drawi…
Einsatzgruppe and Collaborator Horror
Levinas scholars agree that his work was affected by the Holocaust and reflects a philosophical response to it. Yet Levinas only rarely mentions the Holocaust in his major philosophical writings, so how is what Levinas called “Holocaust horror” registed in his work? Here the author argues that scholarship says little about this because it has paid only scant attention to the tragedies of Levinas’s life and because it understands the Holocaust alm…
Narrative identity among people with disabilities in the United States during the Covid-19 pandemic
This study examines narrative identity among a large, diverse sample of people with disabilities (PWDs) in the United States during the "second wave" of the Covid-19 pandemic (October-December 2020). The study relied on abductive analyses, combining a purely inductive phase of inquiry followed by two rounds of investigation that filtered inductive insights through three theoretical lenses: social-ecological theory, the theory of narrative identit…
An “oasis within a desert,” but the desert remains
Persons living with mental health challenges are at increased risk of stigma, social isolation, and social exclusion. Due to its emphasis on member participation and community, the clubhouse model of mental health may help address these issues. In this study, we examined experiences of social belonging and of various social determinants of mental health among members attending a psychosocial clubhouse. Twelve members of a large psychosocial clubh…
The impact of spatial accessibility and perceived barriers on visitation to the US national park system
Public Awareness of and Visitation to National Parks by Racial/Ethnic Minorities
National parks are an important manifestation of the United States’ democratic ideal and attract more than 300 million visits annually. However, racial/ethnic minorities are substantially underrepresented among visitors, and this has led to three hypotheses—marginality, subculture, and discrimination—designed to help explain this pattern of visitation. Moreover, research suggests that the awareness of and visitation to national parks may relate t…
Effects of Transportation on Racial/Ethnic Diversity of National Park Visitors
The demographic composition of the United States is increasingly diverse, but racial/ethnic minority groups are substantially underrepresented in visiting national parks. Transportation is needed to provide access to national parks but may not be equally accessible to all groups in society. This study uses a general population survey of New York City residents to examine the role of transportation in visiting national parks by three racial/ethnic…
An Identity-Based Conceptualization of Recreation Specialization
In this research, identity theory was adapted to reassess a conceptualization of recreation specialization. Past work has conceptualized the construct principally in terms of a combination of three components: conative (behavior, skill, centrality), cognitive (identity) and affect (attraction). Based on the tenets of identity theory, it was hypothesized that the identity-related facet influences other conative and affective specialization facets.…

Motivation and Acceptability Norms of Human-Caused Sound in Muir Woods National Monument
Acceptability of sound, natural or human-caused, was predicted to vary by an individual's motivation for quiet at Muir Woods National Monument. This study used a dose-response methodology where visitors (n = 157; response rate = 54%) listened to five audio recordings varying in the percentage of time that human-caused sound was louder than natural sound (percent time above). Visitors then rated the acceptability (pleasing to annoying) of each rec…
An Owner's Manual to “Ownership”
In a recent article in Society & Natural Resources, Lachapelle and McCool (2005) argue for developing the concept of “ownership” to address challenges and shortcomings in natural resource planning
Testing the Dimensionality of Place Attachment in Recreational Settings
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the psychometric properties of a place-attachment scale using data collected from visitors to the Appalachian Trail in the United States. These data supported a correlated three-factor model consisting of place identity, place dependence, and social bonding. Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis was used to cross-validate the model using two sub-samples of the data. Latent factor means were also …
Effects of place attachment on users’ perceptions of social and environmental conditions in a natural setting
Predictors of Behavioral Loyalty Among Hikers Along the Appalachian Trail
In recent years, conceptual and empirical papers have begun to appear in the leisure literature examining the processes leading to the formation of recreationist loyalty. While this work is still in its infancy, current understanding suggests that leisure involvement plays a formative role in the development of social psychological commitment, which in turn, is an antecedent to loyalty to a brand or organization. In the context of natural resourc…
Effect of Activity Involvement and Place Attachment on Recreationists' Perceptions of Setting Density
Research examining recreationists' perceptions of setting density in outdoor recreation contexts has illustrated the influence of a number of factors. In this investigation we examined the effect of activity involvement and place attachment on hikers' perceptions of setting density using frameworks offered by social judgment and cognitive development theories. We hypothesized that respondents' perceptions of setting density would involve cognitiv…
Basic and Applied Research
Leisure studies is an applied field that draws on theory and methods developed in conventional academic disciplines. This paper illustrates the ways in which theory and methods developed in several academic disciplines (sociology, economics, computer science, and statistics) can be employed to help resolve an applied problem (carrying capacity of parks and related areas) in leisure studies. Application of disciplinary theory and methods to leisur…
An Examination of the Relationship between Leisure Activity Involvement and Place Attachment among Hikers Along the Appalachian Trail
The place attachment construct has been used by leisure researchers and practitioners to refine our understanding of certain leisure behaviors for over two decades. Despite the construct's importance to natural resource-based leisure, little empirical work has appeared in the leisure literature examining the construct's antecedent processes; that is, the processes that lead to recreationists'; attachment to settings. This study examined one antec…
Methodological Issues in Measuring Crowding-Related Norms in Outdoor Recreation
Based on theoretical and methodological similarities between research on recreationrelated norms and contingent valuation, three methodological issues--question format, starting point bias, and information bias--are explored as they apply to measuring crowding-related norms of visitors to two national parks. Few statistically or substantively significant differences in crowding-related norms were found to be associated with these methodological i…
Values, Ethics, and Attitudes Toward National Forest Management
This study measures environmental values and ethics and explores their relation ships to attitudes toward national forest management. The principal research methods were literature review and a survey of Vermont residents concerning man agement of the Green Mountain National Forest. Descriptive findings suggest respondents (1) favor nonmaterial values of national forests, (2) subscribe to a diversity of environmental ethics, including anthropocen…
Norm congruence among tour boat passengers to Glacier Bay national park
Personal and social norms of visitors are receiving increased attention as a means of setting standards of quality in parks and recreation areas. However, if visitors’ evaluations and behavior are not congruent with norm‐based standards, then this approach may lack validity. This study tests norm congruence among tour boat passengers to Glacier Bay National Park. A sample of tour boat passengers was surveyed to determine (a) personal norms for th…
