Comparative Philosophy of Science Through the Lens of Science Textbooks
How to promote the integrative ability of transdisciplinary graduate students
By integrating the insights of academic researchers and stakeholders from outside the academy, transdisciplinary research promises to help address complex challenges that threaten the safety and well-being of people the world over. This promise has led to the development of systematic efforts to train graduate students to conduct transdisciplinary research, and there is increasing interest in transdisciplinary education in the graduate training l…
Addressing communication challenges in transdisciplinary sustainability science
To address sustainable development challenges, transdisciplinary sustainability science (TDSS) requires understanding and managing ecological processes that transcend scientific, geopolitical, and cultural divides. Communication that can bridge these divides is critical for the success of TDSS projects. We describe a communication strategy developed as part of a large, transdisciplinary, multiyear project that aimed to understand the impact of in…
Can we predict visitor movement? Using step selection function analysis to map high probability camping areas in a remote Alaskan wilderness
Consultative or participatory
Using Animal Movement Theory to Inform Visitor Movement Research
Visitor movement research in outdoor recreation contexts generates information about recreation activity type, timing, and distribution. Much of this work is descriptive or exploratory, limiting the extent to which findings can be used for movement prediction. This is problematic for practitioners seeking to use information on visitor movement to proactively inform management decisions. Using theory to inform visitor movement research can overcom…
Classroom-based citizen science
Citizen science projects are an increasingly popular way to engage the public in the process of science. However, few studies have evaluated learning outcomes beyond knowledge gains in formal learning settings with youth. This study evaluated the effects of a classroom-based citizen science project in which middle and high school students collected data about hummingbirds and their habitat use as part of a long-term study on declining hummingbird…
Using a survey to initiate and sustain productive group dialogue in focus groups
Interaction is the distinctive feature of focus groups, yet little attention has been devoted to understanding techniques for enhancing the quality of interactions. We argue that using a quantitative survey instrument with focus groups has specific benefits beyond traditional open-ended topic lists or questions. We describe particular features of a survey that provoke reflection and reaction by participants, thereby deepening dialogue. When using…
Local ecological knowledge reveals effects of policy-driven land use and cover change on beekeepers in Costa Rica
Discovering philosophical assumptions that guide action research
Indicators of Climate Change in Idaho
Climate change is well documented at the global scale, but local and regional changes are not as well understood. Finer, local- to regional-scale information is needed for creating specific, place-based planning and adaption efforts. Here the development of an indicator-focused climate change assessment in Idaho is described. This interdisciplinary framework couples end users’ data needs with observed, biophysical changes at local to regional sca…

A Tribute to William R. Freudenburg
This special section of Society & Natural Resources is intended to honor William R. (Bill) Freudenburg. Those who knew Bill, whom we lost to cancer at the end of 2010, know that there would be no better way to honor him than to publish a collection of works that was inspired by his scholarship. Bill had a tremendous influence on the field of natural resource and environmental sociology. While his career was cut short before he had turned 60, few …

Evaluating the Short- and Long-term Effects of a Modified Deliberative Poll on Idahoans’ Attitudes and Civic Engagement Related to Energy Options
Deliberative polling engages citizens in a process of dialog, exposure to information, and interaction with experts, with the goal of developing more informed, stable attitudes and promoting civic engagement. There have been relatively few assessments of deliberative polling’s short-term effects and even fewer on its long-term effects. Moreover, most assessments examine aggregate changes in attitudes, although theory would suggest that changes mi…
Privacy Functions and Wilderness Recreation
Privacy and its functions are desirable attributes of the human experience in wilderness areas, where outstanding opportunities for solitude is legally mandated. Privacy, the ability to choose how and when to interact and exchange information with other people, enhances opportunities for both personal growth and interaction with the wilderness environment. This study assessed the effect of use level and length of stay on the degree to which priva…
A Mixed Methods Approach to Measuring Depth of Group Information Processing in the Context of Deliberative Public Involvement
This article presents a mixed methods procedure for evaluating information processing and the role of social influences in deliberative public involvement groups. Specifically, it describes an interpretive, qualitative coding scheme for analyzing group discussions to quantitatively assess how group differences in information processing and social influences affect decision judgments. To substantiate the need for this new approach, the contributio…
Do Recreation Motivations and Wilderness Involvement Relate to Support for Wilderness Management? A Segmentation Analysis
Surveys show relatively little support for use restrictions to protect wilderness experiences. However, such conclusions based on aggregate data could hide important differences among visitors. Visitors with more wilderness-dependent trip motives were hypothesized to be more supportive of use restrictions. Using survey data from visitors to 13 wildernesses, cluster analysis of motivations and wilderness involvement generated three clusters that d…
Precision and Rhetoric in Media Reporting About Contamination in Farmed Salmon
This study examined how health risks and benefits are presented in newsprint stories about contamination in farmed salmon. Following recent research, the quality of information was captured as the level of numerical and contextual precision. The authors supplemented and critiqued this analysis with an examination of rhetorical markers of certainty and magnitude. In a census of 83 stories focusing on two research studies, most statements presented…
Cognitive Factors Affecting Homeowners' Reactions to Defensible Space in the Oregon Coast Range
This study used constructs from the theory of planned behavior and protection motivation theory, along with past experience, to predict wildland-interface homeowners' willingness to implement defensible space and their interest in a consultation program aimed at reducing their risk from wildfire. Self-administered surveys (n = 112) from four small Oregon Coast Range communities revealed neutral attitudes about defensible space as a whole. Regress…
The Development of a Discipline
This article presents an assessment of the first 20 years of Society & Natural Resources (SNR), based on a content analysis of places, topics, and methods published; an electronic survey of the membership of the International Association for Society and Natural Resources (IASNR); and an assessment of various measures of journal impact. Findings are used to determine how well the journal is meeting its original goals including the degree to which …
Emotion and Environment
To assess how the natural environment and social interaction foster emotional outcomes, this study surveyed recreational visitors to the Dalton Highway in northern Alaska (258 guided visitors, 187 independent travelers) about a special experience they had, the factors that influenced it, and the emotions it engendered. Scenery—especially mountains—was the most commonly mentioned feature, with vastness, contrasts, and colors emerging as important …
Public Understanding of Science in Pacific Northwest Salmon Recovery Policy
In the arena of salmon recovery policy, stakeholders often propose that science should guide policy, frame their positions in scientific terms, and construct scientific arguments to support their positions. However, there are also appeals to involve citizens more thoroughly in policymaking. An important step in bringing science and citizens together is to investigate how citizens understand the processes, actors, institutions, and knowledge of sc…
An Examination of Whitewater Boaters' Expectations
Expectations are studied to help explain experience quality but are often measured after the conclusion of an activity. Psychological researchers suggest that such recall may be inaccurate. To assess accuracy of recall, 120 Owyhee River boaters indicated their expectations concerning experience conditions (e.g., amount of people, litter) and internal states (e.g., happiness, boredom) on a pre-trip questionnaire. At the conclusion of the trip, the…

Response Format Effects in Questions about Norms
Several studies have demonstrated that altering the format (question wording or presentation format) can alter responses obtained from normative questions. This study extends that research with two experiments. In a study of McKenzie River boaters in Oregon ( n = 225), respondents received either a semiopen (fill in the blank) or closed (scale with anchored points) format of questions about acceptable waiting time at boat launches, percent of tim…
Temporal and Spatial Displacement
This study explored the extent of displacement and the types of displacement behaviors used in response to crowding at a popular reservoir in Oregon. Data collected through a mail-back survey of recreational users contacted at the target site (n = 1,069) demonstrated that about half altered their behavior in some way because of crowding. Interviews with users (n = 168) at three other nearby "alternative" sites indicated that about half of those w…

Understanding nature‐related behaviors among children through a theory of reasoned action approach
The Theory of Reasoned Action has proven to be a valuable tool for predicting and understanding behavior and, as such, provides a potentially important basis for environmental education program design. This study used a Theory of Reasoned Action approach to examine a unique type of behavior (nature‐related activities) and a unique population (early adolescents). Participants (n = 164, ages 9–14) reported their attitudes, subjective norms, age, ge…

Effect of varied question format on boaters’ norms
Studies on recreationists’ norms from different sites have reported different percentages of recreationists who have norms, leading some to question whether such differences result from different question formats. A random sample of 365 boaters on the Clackamas River in Oregon was used to explore the effects of two formats on the presence of norms for three social impacts (encounters with other boaters, time waiting at launch site, and percentage…

A Conjoint Analysis of Preference Heterogeneity among Day and Overnight Visitors to the Okefenokee Wilderness
The purpose of this study is to examine preference heterogeneity among day non-motorized, day motorized and overnight visitors to the Okefenokee Wilderness using conjoint analysis. Study results support the hypothesis that the subgroups of Okefenokee Wilderness visitors considered in this study are not homogeneous with respect to their wilderness setting preferences and that they may be better understood by studying similarities and differences i…
Wilderness Campers' Perception and Evaluation of Campsite Impacts
On-site, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 51 groups of campers in Mt. Jefferson Wilderness to understand their perception and evaluation of impacts to vegetation, soil, and trees. At campers' sites, measurements of vegetation loss, mineral soil exposure, tree damage, and site size were made for comparison with visitors' numeric evaluations of conditions. Content analysis of qualitative responses revealed that 75% of groups noticed v…
Who cares about encounters? Differences between those with and without norms
The normative approach can be a useful tool for managers in setting standards for acceptable conditions when there is substantial agreement among recreationists. However, recent research has raised questions about whether norms are present universally. The question of the relationship between the presence of norms and other variables has not been investigated in detail. This study uses a sample of hikers and stock users from the Eagle Cap Wildern…
