Does specialization affect behavioral choices and quality judgments among hunters?

Measuring Specialization among Birders: Utility of a Self-Classification Measure

“…Other dimensions include media involvement (Kuentzel & Heberlein, 1992), skill (Cole & Scott, 1999;Donnelly et al, 1986;Miller & Graefe, 2000;Scott & Thigpen, 2003), resource use (Chipman & Helfrich, 1988), and evaluation of recreation experience (Kuentzel & McDonald, 1992). Definitional conundrums are aggravated by the uncertainty of the relationships among dimensions and whether specific measures reflect one dimension of specialization or another (Kuentzel & McDonald, 1992).…”

“…Other have treated commitment and centrality as two distinct dimensions (e.g., Dyck et al, 2003;Hvenegaard, 2002;Kuentzel & McDonald, 1992). The variable "club memberships" has been defined as an indicator of lifestyle centrality (Chipman & Helfrich, 1988;Wellman et al, 1982), activity-related interests (Donnelly et al, 1986), and commitment (Kuentzel & Heberlein, 1992). Identification skills in birdwatching have been conceived as both an indicator of skill itself (Scott & Thigpen, 2003) and past experience (McFarlane, 1994(McFarlane, , 1996.…”

Los visitantes del Parc Natural de l’Alt Pirineu y la práctica de actividades recreativo-deportivas. una propuesta de segmentación

“…Son diversos los autores que abogan por la incorporación de la segmentación del mercado en los sistemas de gestión de este tipo de espacios (Frochot, 2005;Chi-ok & Ditton, 2006;Schmitz et al, 2007;Schuett & Pierskalla, 2007;Arnberger et al, 2012), siendo abundantes los trabajos desarrollados en este sentido (Brown & Haas, 1980;Collins & Hodge, 1984;Schreyer, 1982;Rollins & Rouse, 1992;Kuentzel & Heberlein, 1992;McColl & Reilly 1993;De Lucio & Múgica, 1994;Merrill & Graefe, 1998;Virden & Schreyer, 1998;Bricker & Kerstetter, 2000;Farías et al, 2005;Schuett & Pierskalla, 2007;Woratschek et al, 2007;Farías 2011a).…”

A Qualitative Exploration of Female Surfers: Recreation Specialization, Motivations, and Perspectives

“…Subsequent research explored specific activities using Bryan's continuum and later expanded and altered the components used to measure the specialization continuum. Research included activities such as birding (Lee & Scott, 2004;McFarlane, 1994aMcFarlane, , 1994bMcFarlane, , 1996, canoeing (Kauffman & Graefe, 1984;, hunting (Kuentzel & Heberlein, 1992;Miller & Graefe, 2000), hiking and backpacking (Virden & Schreyer, 1988;Williams & Huffman, 1987), vehicle-based campers (McIntyre & Pigram, 1992), sailing and motor boating (Donnelly et al 1986), non-motorized whitewater watercraft users (Bricker & Kerstetter, 2000;Kuentzel & McDonald, 1992), mountaineering , bridge players (Scott & Godbey, 1994), and surfing (Farmer, 1992). Angling specialization also received considerable attention (Chipman & Helfrich, 1988;Choi, Loomis, & Ditton, 1994;Hase, 1996).…”
