Involuntary Youth Transport (IYT) to Treatment Programs
Involuntary youth transport (IYT) is a controversial practice used to admit adolescents into residential care. Critics point out that IYT is in need of regulation and is best used as a last resort. This article examines the risks and benefits of IYT, especially the longterm effects on the client, in order to ensure that all facets of a client’s treatment are trauma-informed and guided by research-based practices and ethical principles. Practices …
Land-Based Healing Through Adventure
Based on 40 years of living and travelling with indigenous populations around the world, the author shares the repeating patterns of common lessons learned about adventure and land-based healing
The History of Outdoor Learning in Canada
The development of outdoor learning and its integrated relationship branches of environment and adventure are defined. Then, after a brief summary of the nation’s history with an emphasis on indigeneity, exploration and national parks, the environmental movement is discussed as a contextual foundation to the evolution of outdoor learning in Canada. Next, the history of outdoor learning in Canada is traced from camping and conservation, through sc…
Biotechnology, media and public opinion across national boundaries
The biotechnology controversy highlights national differences in policy processes, ethical systems, and value choices. The debate over food biotechnology in particular has pitted a vision of science as inherently progressive against one of science as an instrument of economic imperialism. The media have become implicated in this drama. Within U.S. scientific and policy circles, anti-biotechnology sentiment elsewhere has often been attributed to i…
Factor Exploration and Confirmation for the Dimensions of an Adventure Experience
Behavior in an adventure recreation experience is based in part on perception of risk and competence. If incorrectly perceived, an unexpected condition may result, the outcomes of which may be socially, mentally or physically negative. To prevent such undesireable events, and to continue research in this arena, an understanding of the adventure experience is necessary in terms of the two constructs: perceived risk and perceived competence. This s…
Towards a new theory of outdoor leadership style
This study introduced the Conditional Outdoor Leadership Theory (COLT) and examined the contributory relationships among the COLT variables: concern for task, concern for relationships, concern for conditional favourability, and outdoor leadership style. Stepwise multiple regression was employed in an effort to predict style on the basis of how concerned expert outdoor leaders were for the task, relationships, and conditional favourability of 12 …
Research note
This study was a replication and extension of Hammitt and Brown's (1984) original research on Westin's (1967) privacy theory. Hammitt and Brown's study identified five factors related to Junctions of wilderness privacy: Emotional Release, Personal Autonomy, Reflective Thought, Limited Communication—Personal Distance, and Limited Communication—Intimacy. This study followed a similar approach but was concerned with Australian wilderness privacy rat…
The adventure experience paradigm and non-outdoor leisure pursuits
This paper considers the applicability of the Adventure Experience Paradigm (Martin and Priest, 1986) in non-outdoor leisure pursuits. This paradigm was conceived in relationship to outdoor adventure leisure pursuits and, to date, has only been discussed in these terms. In this paper, the paradigm is first presented and clarified within the context that it was created; adventure experience. It is then applied to non-outdoor adult leisure settings…
