A Cross-Regional Comparison of Recreation Patterns of Older Hunters
We studied outdoor recreation patterns among older hunting license holders in Pennsylvania and Colorado to better understand aspects of five trends that promise to impact outdoor recreation preferences, behavior, and management priorities: Sunbelt population growth, declining residential stability, urbanization, aging, and increasing levels of formal education. Results of our mail survey showed that the samples were similar in age, gender, and et…
Patterns of Wildlife Value Orientations in Hunters' Families
Public value orientations toward wildlife may be growing less utilitarian and more protectionist. To better understand one aspect of this trend, we investigated patterns of wildlife value orientations within families. Using a mail survey, we sampled Pennsylvania and Colorado hunting license holders 50 or older, obtaining a 54% response rate ( n = 599). Males (94% of sample) reported their own basic beliefs about wildlife and perceptions of the ba…
Public Attitudes Toward Ecological Restoration in the Chicago Metropolitan Region
We examined the relationship between attitudes toward urban ecological restoration and cognitive (perceived outcomes, value orientation, and objective knowledge), affective (emotional responses), and behavioral factors using residents of the Chicago Metropolitan Region. Positive and negative attitudes were both related to perceived outcomes of ecological restoration. In addition, positive attitudes were related to values while negative attitudes …
Integrative complexity and attitudes
Cognitive psychologists have developed and tested a protocol for measuring the complex way that people think about issues. Called integrative complexity, it represents the intricacy of a person's thought processes in evaluating information and making decisions. It is based on the number of aspects of a problem people consider (differentiation) and how this information is incorporated (integration) to form views about an issue. We measured the int…
Constraints, psychological investment, and hunting participation
This study sought to gain a better understanding of hunting participation through the development and testing of a conceptual model. The model examined participation (retention) in the context of rifle deer hunting in Colorado by state residents and nonresidents. Participation was hypothesized to be directly associated with people's level of investment, level of constraints, past experience, and behavioral intention. The proposed model was loosel…
Examination of the predictive validity of CVM using an attitude‐behavior framework
The contingent valuation method (CVM) has been used to assign monetary value to goods not normally bought and sold in the marketplace. Sometimes this value is used to make inferences about what a person might actually be willing to pay. The relationship between responses to willingness to pay (WTP) questions and a paying behavior was examined in this study using a conceptual framework from attitude theory. Willingness to pay was considered a beha…
Norm accessibility
This study examined the norms that are salient to or accessed by subjects in response to scenes of frontcountry and backcountry settings. Inasmuch as salient norms are more likely to influence behavior, the concept of norm accessibility has utility for recreation and natural resource management. After viewing sets of photographic slides of either frontcountry or backcountry recreation settings, college students completed a questionnaire that elic…
Cueing as a method effect in studies on recreation choice
Multiattribute theory is an important conceptual framework for assessing recreation choice. Methods of assessing attribute importance, varying in the amount of cueing they provide, can affect study results through context effects, attribute omission‐inclusion effects, and group rating effects. Attribute omission‐inclusion effects occur when important attributes are omitted or unimportant attributes are included on a list. Context effects may resu…
