Cultural Consonance Mediates the Effects of Leisure Constraints on Leisure Satisfaction: A Reconceptualization and Replication
Satisfaction with leisure contributes to life satisfaction, marital satisfaction, health, and overall wellbeing. It is not clear, however, how individuals develop expectations for satisfaction with their leisure experiences. In this study, we propose a cultural basis for leisure expectations. In particular, we model cultural consonance in leisure, the degree to which individuals, in their own behavior, match cultural conventions for appropriate o…
Coping with crowded recreation settings: A cross-cultural investigation
The “satisfaction model” of crowding in outdoor recreation has provided insight into the relationship between recreationists’ negative evaluation of setting density and their evaluation of the leisure experience. Much of the literature has demonstrated a consistently weak association leading many to ponder the presence of other confounds. Several authors have suggested the importance of recreationists’ ability to cope with setting conditions. We …

This disparity remains even after lifestyle changes such as reduced smoking, improved diet, more exercise, and better access to medical care are afforded to those of lower status. According to Fundamental Social Cause Theory (FSCT), access to valued resources, including environmental, so…
The efficiency of government spending on health: Evidence from Europe and Central Asia
This paper uses data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate health expenditures to demonstrate how productivity has changed over time for 46 selected countries in Europe and Central Asia. Our results show that countries could have increased output by 1.2% given the existing level of inputs. The patterns of efficiency change for the observed countries are further analyzed using the Malmquist productivity index (MPI). Decreased productivity growth …

Building the capability to manage tourism as support for the Aichi Target
Gazetting the tens of thousands of protected areas needed to meet Aichi Target 11 will increase the need for competent management. Many of these protected areas will rely on tourism and visitation for at least part of the funding needed for the effective management also called for in Target 11. Managing tourism and visitation requires a number of needed competencies that provide frameworks for leadership. These competencies involve strategic thin…

The purpose of this essay is to advocate the exploration of the relationship of cultural values …
