Abstract Details

2007, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Recreation (Health and Human Services).
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of “Becoming an Outdoors-Woman” (BOW) weekend workshop on subsequent participation in outdoor recreation activities. Additionally, the interplay and relationship between self-efficacy, leisure constraints, and how these two theoretical constructs influence participation in outdoor recreation activities was explored. A new 18-item outdoor recreation self-efficacy scale (ORSE) was developed which proved to be a reliable instrument. There was a significant relationship between self-efficacy and constraints (higher self-efficacy was associated with lower constraints); constraints and participation (fewer constraints were associated with higher levels of participation in outdoor recreation); and self-efficacy and participation (higher self-efficacy was associated with higher levels of participation in outdoor recreation). These relationships have been documented in previous studies by other researchers demonstrating that attendees of outdoor recreation programs like BOW are likely to enhance or improve a woman’s perceived self-efficacy, lower perceived constraints, resulting in higher participation in outdoor recreation.
