Playfulness in Adulthood as a Personality Trait
This research is part of a larger effort that integrates advances from personality research and playfulness research to develop a valid and reliable measurement of adult playfulness. We proposed a latent network trait conceptualization that focuses on the interconnected cognitive qualities central to playfulness, strictly distinguished from their state manifestations and personality correlates. A sequential multistudy design involving focus group…

Human Conditioning to Wildlife
Wildlife conditioning and habitation to humans are frequently studied, but human conditioning and habituation to wildlife have received little attention. We propose that human–wildlife interaction can be better understood and managed if conditioning and habituation are examined in both humans and wildlife. We review what is known about human conditioning and habituation and their relationships to four aspects of human learning (i.e., enactive lea…
An Exploration of Meanings of Leisure
In the West, the awareness of the important role of leisure in people's lives has grown significantly since World War II. Leisure studies has been an academic field in the United States for the pas
Wildlife Value Orientations in China
The wildlife value orientation (WVO) construct has been used to describe deeply held beliefs about how humans should relate to wildlife. As part of a larger effort to test the usefulness of the WVO construct across cultures, we conducted pilot testing of the construct in China. A conceptual and methodological framework developed by the project's international research team was used to collect and analyze data. Specific modifications were made for…
Ethnicity as a Variable in Leisure Research
The purpose of this study is to examine the usefulness of ethnicity as a construct in leisure research. In particular, we are interested in the degree to which presumed ethnic groups exhibit internal cultural homogeneity. In 2002, the visitors to the Angeles National Forest (ANF) near metropolitan Los Angeles were surveyed. Using purposive sampling at sites known to be heavily used by visitors with diverse ethnic backgrounds, we obtained a sample…
Ethnicity as a Construct in Leisure Research
Gobster addresses several issues in our paper. These include, first, a suggestion that the measure of cultural values that we used is not appropriate for understanding possible variations in racial and ethnic patterns of' outdoor leisure preferences and behavior. He claims, as well, that we limit our use of ethnicity to alleged cultural differences among groups and, specifically, to cultural values, unlike what most leisure researchers have done.…
Bear and Deer Hunter Density and Distribution on Public Land in Pennsylvania
Little research has focused on density, distribution, and habitat use of hunters. Here, field methods and statistical techniques developed for estimating density and habitat use of wildlife species are applied to big game hunters in Pennsylvania. Using aerial surveys, a large public land area (45,907 ha) in north-central Pennsylvania was studied to estimate hunter density and distribution during black bear (Ursus americanus) and white-tailed deer…
A Cross-Regional Comparison of Recreation Patterns of Older Hunters
We studied outdoor recreation patterns among older hunting license holders in Pennsylvania and Colorado to better understand aspects of five trends that promise to impact outdoor recreation preferences, behavior, and management priorities: Sunbelt population growth, declining residential stability, urbanization, aging, and increasing levels of formal education. Results of our mail survey showed that the samples were similar in age, gender, and et…
Patterns of Wildlife Value Orientations in Hunters' Families
Public value orientations toward wildlife may be growing less utilitarian and more protectionist. To better understand one aspect of this trend, we investigated patterns of wildlife value orientations within families. Using a mail survey, we sampled Pennsylvania and Colorado hunting license holders 50 or older, obtaining a 54% response rate ( n = 599). Males (94% of sample) reported their own basic beliefs about wildlife and perceptions of the ba…
Social psychological bases for Stakeholder acceptance Capacity
Wildlife managers often encounter stakeholder groups with differing beliefs about ideal population levels of wildlife and appropriate management actions toward wildlife. For example, hunters, farmers, foresters, and suburban homeowners often express different acceptance capacities for white‐tailed deer. Similarly, stakeholder groups often differ over managing Canada geese, black‐tailed prairie dogs, beaver, and other species. Understanding and re…
Standards for lethal response to problem urban wildlife
Managers face limited options when dealing with problems created by urban wildlife. Destroying an animal that is perceived to be a nuisance is sometimes acceptable; at other times destroying the animal may be controversial. This paper uses the structural norm approach to develop standards for an agency's use of lethal response to problem urban wildlife. The paper describes three structural characteristics of public wildlife management norms (rang…
Using normative beliefs to determine the acceptability of wildlife management actions
Because wildlife in the United States is publicly owned, management actions and policies depend on public acceptance. This article uses a normative approach to describe and evaluate what the public believes are acceptable management actions toward three different wildlife species involved in human‐wildlife interactions. The results illustrate the extent to which normative beliefs about wildlife management actions are influenced by situational spe…
Population change and its implications for wildlife management in the New West
Dramatic change is affecting wildlife management in the Rocky Mountain states. Evidence of this change is seen in new, "nontraditional"; interest groups who have become effective in influencing wildlife decisions. In a case study of Colorado, this paper examines four elements of population change that may be related to the changing climate for wildlife management in the West. Population increase has led to growing numbers of traditional consumpti…
