Beyond Cronbach's Alpha
Cronbach's alpha is a potentially useful statistic for scale development that can be misleading when used improperly. As a result, it is important for human dimensions researchers to use the statistic cautiously. The purpose of this study is to explore the importance of segmentation and confirmatory factor analysis in scale development. Data were obtained from mail surveys on wolves and wolf management given to Grand Teton National Park visitors …
Human Dimensions of Large Carnivore Conservation and Management
Efforts to conserve large carnivores worldwide have met with a number of successes in recent decades. Through reintroduction and natural recolonization gray wolves (Canis lupus) and black bears (Ur
An Extension and Further Validation of the Potential for Conflict Index
The Potential for Conflict Index (PCI) was developed to facilitate understanding and applicability of leisure, recreation, and human dimensions findings to managerial concerns. The PCI ranges from 0 (minimal potential for conflict) to 1 (maximum potential for conflict) and simultaneously describes a variable's central tendency, dispersion, and shape using a graphic display. This article (a) describes applications of the original formulation of th…
Hunters' General Disease Risk Sensitivity and Behaviors Associated with Chronic Wasting Disease
This article examines deer hunters' general disease risk sensitivity relative to specific behaviors and beliefs about chronic wasting disease (CWD). Data were obtained from the 2003–04 Illinois Hunter Harvest Survey (n = 1521). Cluster analysis of perceived risks from CWD, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (i.e., mad cow), Salmonella, Escheria coli (E. coli), West Nile Virus, and Lyme disease identified three hunter segments (i.e., no, slight, mod…
Understanding Meta-Analysis
Meta-analysis is a quantitative technique that uses specific measures (e.g., an effect size) to indicate the strength of variable relationships for the studies included in the analysis. The technique emphasizes results across multiple studies as opposed to results from a single investigation. This article provides an introduction to the meta-analysis literature and discusses the challenges of applying meta-analysis to human dimensions research. S…
Crowding as a Descriptive Indicator and an Evaluative Standard
This paper examined perceived crowding using 615 evaluation contexts obtained from 181 studies that used a 9-point scale. Four methods for summarizing the crowding scale were highly correlated (r ≥ .90) across all evaluation contexts. Four independent variables (year study was conducted, region of United States, country, specific activity) affected perceived crowding for both the collapsed scale and the mean of the scale. One factor, specific loc…
Perceived Crowding among Hunters and Anglers
This article examines perceived crowding using 95 hunter and 30 angler evaluation contexts obtained from 28 hunter and 12 angler studies. Each study used the 9-point scale developed by Heberlein and Vaske (1977) ∗Heberlein, T. A. and Vaske, J.J. Crowding and visitor conflict on the Bois Brule River. Report WISC WRC 77-04. 1977. Madison: University of Wisconsin Water Resources Center. [Google Scholar]. Data were obtained from journal articles, dis…
Bibliometric Reflections on the First Decade of Human Dimensions of Wildlife
Volume 1, number 1 of Human Dimensions of Wildlife (HDW) was published in 1996. This article reviews the first 10 years of HDW using bibliometric analysis. Bibliometrics sheds light on the process of written communication by counting and analyzing publications within a discipline. The findings highlighted some encouraging trends. First, the number of international contributions nearly doubled from 1996–2000 to 2001–2005. Second, a wide range of w…
