The Effect of the Experience Use History on the Multidimensional Structure of Motivations to Participate in Leisure Activities
The purpose of this paper was to determine the extent to which experience level affects the factor structure of motivations to participate in leisure activities. Data were part of the National River Recreation Study database which included 3181 river floaters from 13 river settings. Factor analyses of responses to a 36-item set of Recreation Experience Preference (REP) scales were performed separately for each of six categories of Experience Use …
Recreation Specialization As an Indicator of Environmental Preference
Recreation specialization was examined as an underlying element of behavior that varies with the type and importance of environmental settings desired by recreationists. Subjects were backcountry hikers from three Intermountain West primitive areas who responded to a mailed questionnaire that assessed their level of hiking specialization and preferences for 38 environmental setting attributes. These attributes were representative of physical, soc…
Recreation impacts of western energy development
In recent years, recreation impacts linked to in‐migrating workforces have become a focus of controversy over energy facility siting, particularly in areas proximate to National Parks and Wilderness areas. However, after over a decade of research focused on effects of energy resource development in the western U.S., major questions remain about the nature and extent of impacts on recreation. In this article we review major issues and controversie…
Attribute Preferences for Wildland Recreation Settings
This study explores variations in preferences for various environmental attributes as they influence the choice of a specific setting in which to recreate. The influence of amount of previous experience and activity commitment is explored. These variables are two of the major dimensions of the specialization concept. They are expected to relate to the ways in which individuals process and store information about their recreational activities. Thu…
A novice isn't necessarily a novice—the influence of experience use history on subjective perceptions of recreation participation
Increasing interest in internal cognitive states of recreationists during participation has led to the investigation of the influence of differing amounts of previous experience on participation. Varying levels of experience imply different amounts and organization of information available to the individual to evaluate recreation participation. However, experience may be conceived of in different ways. A person may be a novice in a given environm…

Characterizing the Influence of Past Experience on Recreation Behavior
The extent of previous participation in recreational pursuits can serve as an indicator of the amount and type of information a person draws on to make decisions concerning leisure behavior. Differing patterns of participation may suggest variation in the reasons for engaging in the same type of activity. Data from a national survey of river recreationists were used to study the effects of differing amounts and types of previous experience on var…

Nontraditional uses of the National parks
National parks are increasingly attracting visitors with diverse and sometimes unusual expectations, often referred to as nontraditional activities. The purposes of this study were: (1) identify which recreation activities were seen as inappropriate to national parks, (2) identify reasons for inappropriateness, (3) relate these reasons to perceptions of the meaning of national parks. Two hundred eleven visitors to seven Park Service areas in Utah…
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 …
Conflict in Outdoor Recreation: A Theoretical Perspective
The causes of conflict among users of outdoor recreation resources have received little attention from recreation researchers. Knowledge of factors responsible for conflicts might assist recreation planners' attempts to reduce future instances of conflict and help management focus its conflict resolution efforts. Building a theory of conflict is the first step in systematically procuring such knowledge. A theoretical interpretation of conflict an…
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…
Research Utilization in Wildland Recreation Management: A Preliminary Analysis
