Family adventure tourism motives and decision-making: A case of whitewater rafting

Cognitive timescales in highly skilled physical actions learned through practice: A 20-year participant observation analysis of recreational surfing

“…For his solo ascent of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, climber Alex Honnold said that he learned every single body move for the entire ascent, on previous roped climbs, before making the successful solo attempt (Varsahelyi and Chin, 2018). Corresponding cognitive components can be identified for a very wide range of sports and outdoor activities on land, air and water (Jamal et al, 2019), including those involving animals (Gombeski et al, 2017), motors, weapons, or competition with opponents (Denis et al, 2017).…”

“…Athletic competence at adventurous outdoor nature sports requires fitness, activity-specific physical skills, and activity-specific cognitive capabilities (Ericsson et al, 2006;Mann et al, 2007;Chan et al, 2011;Montero, 2016;Araújo et al, 2017;Bilalić, 2017;Feletti et al, 2017;Feletti & Brymer, 2018;Gombeski et al, 2017;Hallandvik et al, 2017;Immonen et al, 2017;Jamal et al, 2019;Toner & Moran, 2017). In particular, these skills are required for surfing and related sports Chapman et al, 2008;Brymer & Oades, 2009;Furley and Dörr, 2016;Andrianopoulos & Vogiatzis, 2017;Portugal et al, 2017;Taylor & Elia, 2017;Wheaton, 2017).…”

Exploring the world together: The colonial continuity of family adventure travel

“…Existing research confirms that contemporary families are increasingly engaging in more experiential and adventurous forms of tourism (Southall, 2012). However, research has primarily been focused on recreational activities within the context of outdoor leisure (Jamal et al, 2019;Pomfret, 2019;Pomfret and Varley, 2019). In this segment of family tourism, families participate in adrenaline-boosting activities, such as hiking, snorkeling, and mountain climbing.…”

“…As the introductory quote shows, the adventurousness implied in family adventure travel is linked to the idea of discovering and exploring unknown and exotic places together. In other words, the segment of family adventure travel is shaped around other connotations of adventurousness than the activity-centered family vacations in the context of outdoor leisure (Jamal et al, 2019;Pomfret, 2019;Pomfret and Varley, 2019). With the use of the term family adventure travel, this article emphasizes that the niche of family adventure travel emerges in a wider context of adventure travel in contemporary tourism.…”

Theoretical Foundations of Latent Aging and Imitation of Aging

“…Motive is a force that shapes the decision-making behaviors of people and ensures their continuity [8]. Control and direction of behavior are possible with motives [9]. Latent aging, an important output of the perceptual process, is significantly affected by motives.…”
