Blue lighting decreases the amount of food consumed in men, but not in women
Previous research has demonstrated that colors of lighting can modulate participants' motivation to consume the food placed under the lighting. This study was designed to determine whether the colors of lighting can affect the amount of food consumed, in addition to sensory perception of the food. The influence of lighting color was also compared between men and women. One-hundred twelve participants (62 men and 50 women) were asked to consume a …
Stakeholder Mapping for Recreation Planning of a Bahamian National Park
This study engaged key stakeholders in developing a recreation management plan for Abaco National Park. Using a stakeholder analysis and participatory mapping exercises, we determined current and desired future land uses of representatives from the tourism industry, hunters, teachers, business leaders, local community members, and environmentalists. Spatial information was analyzed using a geographic information system (GIS) for trends and overla…
Exploring a Typology of Recreation Conflict in Outdoor Environments
There is a substantial body of empirical research on recreation conflict, and researchers have largely used the goal interference theory (Jacob & Schreyer, 1980), which has received much empirical support and was employed as the conceptual construct for this study. In order to further study recreation conflict with respect to the goal interference model, the purpose of this study was to examine the existence of overall perceived conflict among wa…
Recreation Specialization
A typology of boating activities and subactivities, first published in the Journal of Leisure Research (1986) is revisited. This paper investigates the relationship between degree and range of specialization in boating activities of a random sample of Maryland Chesapeake Bay large boat owners. A specialization index includes four domains identified in previous research: participation, equipment, skill, and boating related interests. Differences b…
An Exploration of the Specialization Concept within the Context of Heritage Tourism
Americans’ interest in traveling to historic sites has increased recently and is expected to continue. Despite this trend, however, very little is known about individuals who visit heritage or cultural sites. Evidence suggests that there may be types of tourists who progress from general travelers to focused or specialized tourists. The objective of this study was to document whether types of heritage tourists exist and, if so, whether they diffe…
