“…Hutchison (1988), in his critique of research in this area, argued that future work "must include population subgroups which contain ethnic subcultures, and must develop a research methodology capable of the capturing the very signi cant social phenomenon under study" (p. 25). This was attempted in the present study, but the quota sampling method limited analysis to sketchy ethnic comparisons in the same way a random sampling of the general population has limited others to sketchy racial comparisons.…”

“…Hutchinson (1988) noted that whites and blacks tend to recreate in small groups whereas Hispanics prefer an extended family atmosphere. Johnson and Bowker's (1999) research indicates that blacks prefer developed recreation facilities while whites have a preference for natural areas.…”

The Northeastern Recreation Research Symposium seeks to foster quality information exchange between recreation, tourism, and resource managers and researchers throughout the Northeast. The forum provides opportunities for recreation and tourism research managers from different agencies, state, and government levels, as well as those in the private sector to discuss current issues, problems, and research applications in the field. Students and all those interested in continuing education in recreation and tourism management are particularly welcome. NERR 2003 STEERING COMMITTEE:Andy Abstract: This paper reports on a study of outdoor recreation preferences and behavior of 618 (non-Hispanic) White, 647 African American, and 346 Hispanic Americans in Cook County, Illinois. Respondents were contacted by a phone survey using random digit dialing and a quota for each group. Binary logistic regression models were estimated to explain the use of 19 sites in and near the Chicago Metropolitan Area and one distant site. These models are used to help explain the implications of demographic change for participation at individual recreation sites. Suggestions are made for improving subsequent modeling efforts aimed at explaining the use of recreation sites in and near Metropolitan areas.

“…Since many popular forms of PA take place outdoors, it is interesting to note that adolescent interests in nature-based PA, as well as in studying or observing wildlife, decline with increasing age (and seem to decline steeply at the onset of puberty) (e.g., Bjerke et al, 2001;Kaplan & Kaplan, 2002;Bell et al, 2003;Brodersen et al, 2005). Stamps and Stamps (1985) and Hutchison (1988) reviewed the first decades of research on the relationships between social class and participation in leisure activities. More recently, Kristjansdottir and Vilhjalmsson (2001) have found that upper-social-class students in Iceland (11-to 16-year-olds) were less sedentary and participated in more PA during leisure time, compared with lower-class students.…”
