Stress on the Farm
Although a great deal is known about the nature and severity of the recent financial crisis in agriculture, there has been little systematic study of the social and psychological effects of this crisis upon farm operators and their families. Using data from a statewide sample of Iowa farmers, this study tests some hypotheses about correlates of psychological stress. The findings suggest that many farm operators find their situations to be stressf…
Constituency of the Antigrowth Movement
This study tested the "status-growth hypothesis," which holds that antigrowth values are more pervasive among middle- and upper-class persons than those in blue-collar positions. Businessmen, however, were expected to be an exception to this pattern by displaying a strong attachment to progrowth orientations. The respondents were metropolitan residents in Iowa. Contrary to expectations, antigrowth sentiment was most pervasive among blue-collar re…

The rationing of public access to wildlands frequently is used by land management agencies to protect both physical resources and the quality of visitors’ experiences. Establishing and enforcing optimum use levels, however, presents a dilemma in that wilderness often is perceived in the public mind as permitting spontaneity of behavior and escape from bureaucratic regimentation. We studied the receptivity of backpackers to use limitations at Moun…

Findings are reported from a study of recreational carrying capacity at Mount McKinley National Park, Alaska. Hikers in the park were questioned about: (1) their expectations and preferences for sightings of other parties in the backcountry, (2) the number of parties seen daily, (3) sightings of human‐use impacts upon the environment, and (4) trip satisfaction. Whether or not hikers felt crowded was found to be a function of their expectations an…

The proposition that activities of retirement community residents are consistent with their personal orientations toward leisure is explored in this study. The study was carried out in four planned retirement communities in Arizona; 322 men who migrated there subsequent to their retirement in the Midwest were interviewed.Continuity was found in the pre- and post-retirement activity levels of the retirees, the prominent pattern being for migrants …
