  • Tracking decision-making of backcountry users using GPS tracks and participant surveys

    Open AccessJordy Hendrikx, J David Johnson et al.ARTICLEApplied Geography2022

    Snow avalanches are a significant natural hazard representing the primary risk of death to backcountry travelers in many alpine countries. Careful use of backcountry terrain through effective decision making can mitigate the risk of dangerous snowpack conditions, but requires relevant knowledge and experience. We present the results from a large-scale crowd sourced data collection method from backcountry users. Using GPS tracking via a smartphone…

  • The Impact of Avalanche Education on Risk Perception, Confidence, and Decision-Making among Backcountry Skiers

    Open AccessKaylin Greene, Jordy Hendrikx et al.ARTICLELeisure Sciences2022Citada por: 1Referências: 5

    With the burgeoning popularity of winter backcountry leisure, there has been an increased interest in implementing education to prevent avalanche related accidents. Yet little research has explored whether avalanche education actually improves avalanche risk awareness. The current study examined why participants enrolled in avalanche education, what they learned, and whether participation led to changes in risk perceptions, risk perception confid…

  • Powder Fever and Its Impact on Decision-Making in Avalanche Terrain

    Open AccessAndrea Mannberg, Jordy Hendrikx et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Skiing activities make people happier. However, despite the clear parallels to sexual arousal, powder fever does not appear to significantly impair decision-making in our study. More research on the effects of powder fewer on milder forms of risk-taking behavior is needed

  • Risky positioning – social aspirations and risk-taking behaviour in avalanche terrain

    Open AccessAndrea Mannberg, Jordy Hendrikx et al.ARTICLELeisure Studies2021Citada por: 4Referências: 29

    We test if positionality, i.e., the desire to gain social status, is associated with an increased willingness to take risk among backcountry riders. If positional preferences drive risk-taking behaviour in avalanche terrain, this is especially problematic because the stakes are high and can be fatal. Our analysis is based on data for hypothetical choices from an online survey (N = 648) in North America. We find that positional riders are signific…

  • Rethinking the heuristic traps paradigm in avalanche education

    Open AccessJ David Johnson, Jerry Johnson et al.ARTICLECogent Social Sciences2020

    This paper will review the emergence and adoption of decision heuristics as a conceptual framework within the avalanche research and education community and demonstrate how this emphasis on the heuristic decision framework has anchored and was critical in redefining the discussion around avalanche accidents. This paradigm has been a critical and meaningful step in recognizing the importance of decision making in avalanche accidents. However, in a…

  • Combining GPS tracking and survey data to better understand travel behavior of out-of-bounds skiers

    Open AccessJohn Sykes, Jordy Hendrikx et al.ARTICLEApplied Geography2020

    Our research seeks to expand existing knowledge of travel behavior and decision-making in avalanche terrain. We have done this by using GPS tracking to observe the travel behavior of out-of-bounds (OB) skiers and collecting survey data to investigate their terrain choices. We sampled participants in the field by distributing hand-held GPS units and surveys along the southern boundary of Bridger Bowl Ski Area, Southwest Montana, USA. In total, we …

  • Contemporary Federal Education Policy and Rural Schools

    J David Johnson, Jerry Johnson et al.ARTICLEPeabody Journal of Education2015Referências: 10

    This article focuses on contemporary federal education policy as it manifests in rural schools. Rural schools differ appreciably from nonrural schools in terms of organizational systems, structures, and culture. Federal policies that drive school improvement initiatives (e.g., those regulating the functioning of schools and those managing the distribution of resources to schools) are often not attentive to such differences, adopting one-size-fits…

  • Place-Conscious Capacity-Building

    Open AccessJ David Johnson, Aaron Thompson et al.ARTICLERural Society2009Citada por: 3Referências: 2

    This paper sets forth a model of regional stewardship developed and implemented at a post-compulsory institution serving rural communities in central Appalachia, a region that is among the most impoverished in the United States. The model, termed place-conscious capacity-building, emphasises culturally-responsive methodologies and the strategic deployment of institutional resources to identify, cultivate, strengthen and support resident resources…

  • Dosage

    J David JohnsonARTICLEInternational Journal of…2008Referências: 14

    Most communication theories implicitly paint a picture of the prevalence and paramount importance of communication. There is a "communication metamyth" that more is necessarily better; however, there is increasing empirical evidence that less communication actually may be better. In spite of decades of research, we have at best only a fuzzy notion of what "dosage" is needed for specific effects, particularly those related to the implementation of…

  • Information Seeking and Intentions to Have Genetic Testing for Hereditary Cancers in Rural and Appalachian Kentuckians

    Open AccessKimberly M Kelly, James E Andrews et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Rural Health2007

    Context: Research is limited regarding the potential of genetic testing for cancer risk in rural Appalachia. Purpose: This study examined perceptions of genetic testing in a population sample of Kentuckians, with a focus on Appalachian and rural differences. The goals were to examine cultural and psychosocial factors that may predict intentions to test for hereditary cancer, need for help with information seeking for decision making about genetic…

  • Functional Work Groups and Evaluations of Communication Channels

    Open AccessJ David Johnson, Hui‐Jung Chang et al.ARTICLEJournal of Computer-Mediated…2006Referências: 23

    This paper examines perceptions of three different communication channels (written, interpersonal, and e-mail) in a new organizational form, from six perspectives: social information processing, decision making, cost minimization, social presence, uncertainty reduction, and appraisal. In this study three functional groups within the Cancer Information Service (CIS) were examined: Project Directors (N=11), Outreach Coordinators (N=16), and Telepho…

    Individual information seeking has become increasingly a critical determinant of the success of individual organizational members and of an organization as a whole. This study tests a Comprehensive Model of Information Seeking (CMIS) that contains three primary classes of variables: Antecedents, which provide the underlying imperatives to seek information; Information Carrier Characteristics, which shape the nature of specific intentions to seek …

  • Women's preferences for cancer‐related information from specific types of mass media

    J David Johnson, Hendrika MeischkeARTICLEHealth Care For Women International1994

    We examined women's preferences for specific types of cancer-related information from three different mass media: television, newspapers, and magazines. Statistical analyses revealed significant content differences across the three media. These results raise important issues for health marketing campaigns, suggesting that women prefer to receive specific information about cancer, prevention information, and information relating to dealing emotion…
