Roving Focus Groups
Although focus groups are adaptable to unique situations, experts warn that the physical environment in which discussions take place should (a) be free from distractions, (b) be neutral, and (c) permit participants to face each other. In 2004 and 2005 the authors experimented with roving focus groups in the rural landscape of Michigan (USA). As they moved along in a vehicle, participants discussed features that contributed to and detracted from r…
Public Participation, Volunteerism and Resource-Based Recreation Management in the U.S
The trend toward more public participation in outdoor recreation and natural resource management in the U.S. is strong and clear. Less clear are the expectations of those who volunteer to develop, maintain, restore and manage outdoor recreation and other natural resources. Expectations reflect “psychological contracts” between volunteers and organizations, and, as such influence a range of outcomes. Two surveys (one mailback, one telephone) of tw…
Are topic-specific measures of socio-political control justified? Exploring the realm of citizen participation in natural resource decision making
This study extends the socio-political control scales developed by Zimmerman and Zahniser (1991) to the context of citizen participation in natural resource agency decision making. The study shows that a natural resource-specific scale is more appropriate for behaviors related to participation in natural resource decision making. These results confirm the usefulness of topic-specific measures of socio-political control. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, …
Bandura goes outdoors
The foci of this study are the benefits of participation in outdoor leadership programs and the factors that contribute to continued participation in outdoor leadership development activities. Study objectives were to a) assess the short‐ and long‐term effects of outdoor leadership programs on self‐efficacy and b) propose and evaluate a path model of self‐efficacy and continued participation in outdoor leadership development activities. A quasi‐e…
Relationship between perceived control in leisure and life satisfaction
Numerous research findings suggest that the presence or absence of control has profound effects on people's emotional, cognitive, and physical well-being. Empirical verification of the usefulness and practicality of perceived control in leisure research has been minimal. An exploratory study was designed to (a) establish a baseline measurement of the degree of perceived control in the leisure lives of a sample of non-institutionalized older perso…
Perceived control/reactance
The need for mastery and control of one's environment has long been regarded as a basic human motivation. The psychological concepts of perception of control and reactance (a negative reaction to loss of control) have been studied by numerous scientists in varying contexts. Empirical evidence suggests that increased perceived control has positive impacts on psychological well-being, while loss or reduction of control may produce depreciative beha…
