“…With regard to constraint negotiation, behavioural strategies documented in the literature (e.g., financial improvements; Jackson et al 1993;Jackson and Rucks 1995) were also mentioned by disaster survivors, which could also be framed as problem-focused coping (Lazarus and Folkman 1984;Schneider and Wilhelm Stanis 2007). These strategies appeared to help address the dissociation between leisure resources and tanoshimi.…”

“…Crawford and Godbey 1987;Godbey et al 2010). Moreover, coping efforts after disasters resemble constraint negotiation (e.g., problem-vs. emotion-focused coping and behavioural vs. cognitive negotiation; Schneider and Wilhelm Stanis 2007). Some post-disaster coping resources have been identified as an important leisure facilitator (e.g., social support and social capital; Kaniasty and Norris 2009;Norris et al 2008;Raymore 2002).…”

Disasters influence human lives on a large scale. In 2017 only, 441 disasters killed 13,310 people and directly affected approximately 93 million individuals around the world (Centre for Research on the Epistemology of Disasters n.d.). Nonetheless, it remains understudied how these tragedies impact survivors' leisure lives. Survivors may suffer increased constraints to leisure in their post-disaster lives (Crawford et al., Leisure Sciences, 13, 309-320 1991), while being able to negotiate such constraints so that they can maintain leisure participation (Jackson et al., Leisure Sciences, 15, 1-11 1993). Also relevant may be leisure facilitators (Raymore, Journal of Leisure Research, 34(1), 37-51 2002) that enable survivors to enjoy leisure pursuits. This study examines effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami on survivors' leisure lives through the theoretical lenses of leisure constraints, constraint negotiation, and leisure facilitators. One-month field work in the disaster-stricken area was conducted, from which 16 survivors and five disaster volunteers were recruited to subsequent semistructured interviews between June and July, 2012. An analysis of interview data, guided by grounded theory, suggested that disaster-related life events (e.g., bereavement, destruction of home, and displacement) created situations where survivors struggled with finding meaningfulness of leisure activities and dissociated declining resources from the use for leisure purposes. The analysis also indicated that survivors negotiated these constraints by resisting confining norms and reattaching positive meanings to leisure. Furthermore, survivors encountered two major leisure facilitators: causes for leisure participation and enabling others. The findings are discussed in light of leisure constraints, constraint negotiation, and facilitation as well as implications for practitioners in disaster-stricken areas.Int J Sociol Leis

“…The next distinction in coping identified in source literature is between active and avoidance coping (Endler & Parker, 1990;Carver & Connor-Smith, 2010). A review of the research on the relationship between exploration of wilderness and coping indicates that, in particular, problem-solving strategies play an important role (Manning & Valliere, 2001;Miller & McCool, 2003;Schneider & Hammit, 1995;Schneider & Stanis, 2007).…”

“…People who perceive the level of risk in the wilderness as high can subjectively experience fear (Priest, 1990(Priest, , 1999. Thus fear can be one of the main elements involved in outdoor adventure (Brymer & Oades, 2009;Ewert, 1988;Schneider & Hammit, 1995;Schneider & Stanis, 2007;Slanger & Rudestam, 1997). Moreover, Cater (2006) states that risk is not the major issue in ''play'' with their own fears.…”

This article presents a new tool-the Wilderness Courage Scale. The Wilderness Courage Scale is a scale that diagnoses undertaking activity in dangerous natural environments, despite personal fears. The validity of the Wilderness Courage Scale was tested using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. The results of factor analyses verified the one-factor structure. The questionnaire's internal consistency and intercorrelations were also tested. The Wilderness Courage Scale correlates with sensation seeking, some personality traits, and coping forms. The author discusses the findings in regard to the Wilderness Courage Scale as an instrument to measure exploration of dangerous natural environments. However, further studies need to be carried out in other sample groups to further validate the scale.

“…A 4-H study demonstrated the need to provide youth with a selection of recreational opportunities and the ability to choose activities in which to participate (Theokas, Lerner, Phelps, & Lerner, 2006). An understanding of perceived constraints to participation provides the opportunity to increase constraint negotiation and allows for more frequent and significant participation (Schneider & Wilhelm Stanis, 2007).…”

Prior research has found connections between youth participation in recreational activities and academic achievement, civic involvement, and improved health. To investigate California youth outdoor recreation attitudes, behaviors, and constraints, eight focus groups were conducted with community recreation center youth participants. Youth answered 10 questions about their experiences, attitudes, and perceptions of outdoor recreation. Data were analyzed using grounded theory. Three to seven axial codes were identified for each question. Results showed that youth want to have more access to outdoor recreational activities. However, there are frequently considerable constraints for the youth to overcome including draws of technology, family obligations, and laziness. Safety was a recurring concern among participants. Understanding youth attitudes and perceptions allows managers to meet youth needs, program for youth interests, provides a strong foundation for marketing and as a rational for funding grants.
