“…Suggestions included a broad array of communication/teaching skills, including social/emotional intelligence and pedagogical approaches deemed "best practices" (Bowling, 2013;Ivey & Bixler, 2013;Knapp & Forist, 2014;Powell & Stern, 2013a;Powell et al, 2017;Yamada, 2014); skills and practices associated with how to engage new and diverse audiences (Knapp & Forist, 2014;Powell et al, 2017); skills to identify and apply research to inform the development of innovative interpretive approaches (Powell et al, 2017); increased evaluation skills and literacy so that interpreters and site managers can use evidenced-based decision-making regarding what works and why (aka, adaptive management; Powell et al, 2017); and KSAs associated with using technology, social media, and other distance learning tools (Merson et al, 2016;Powell et al, 2017). Several studies identified specific suggestions for how to provide professional development, including providing opportunities for individual and facilitated reflection (Yamada & Skibins, 2019), training a wider-diversity of staff (anyone that interacts with the public) (Harrison, et al, 2017;Pan et al, 2012;Tschaenn et al, 2014), and conducting regular training needs assessments in response to staff turnover, changing audience characteristics, and the continual evolution of the practice of interpretation (Caplow, 2018;Knapp & Forist, 2014;Powell et al, 2017).…”

We reviewed all manuscripts published within the Journal of Interpretation Research from 2010 to 2019 to identify lessons learned from the past decade and to propose future directions to advance the field. The last decade of the Journal featured a wide diversity of studies, including evaluations of interpretive programs and trainings, examinations of specific interpretive techniques, and various other related topics. We summarize the decade’s contributions and share lessons learned associated with interpretive techniques; organizational practices; professional development; diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice; visitor characteristics; and motivating attendance at interpretive programs. We then identify eight areas for future research, including: (1) measuring more ambitious outcomes; (2) identifying effective practices for diverse audiences; (3) studying innovations through adaptive management; (4) examining intergenerational learning; (5) evaluating professional development; (6) conducting organizational studies; (7) investigating the politics of interpretation and sensitive topics; and (8) partnering on research for diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice.

At present, most countries in the world regard aging in place as the main goal of the elderly society. Meanwhile, senior citizens are encouraged to participate in community activities, and long-term care (LTC) resources are provided in the community. Previous studies have also mentioned that activity involvement and place attachment are more likely to affect activity satisfaction Therefore, the purpose of this study is to use place attachment as the mediating variable to explore the influence of the relationship between activity involvement and activity satisfaction. By the survey method, a total of 400 questionnaires were sent out, and 387 valid questionnaires were recovered. The analysis results revealed that activity involvement and place attachment has a significant positive influence with activity satisfaction respectively. Place attachment only has a mediating effect on the relationship between the self-expression (dimension of activity involvement) and the psychological satisfaction (dimension of activity satisfaction). Relevant management suggestions are also put forward.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate how small-town residents’ perceptions of a minor league sport team’s socially responsible initiatives (SRI) influence several psychological responses to SRI, including feelings of gratitude, subjective well-being, place attachment and community pride. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional, survey-based research design was employed to empirically assess the effects of SRI on positive psychological responses in the context of a minor league sport team located in a rural community. The data set used in this study included a convenience sample of 307 small-town residents. Findings Residents of the rural community did perceive and feel grateful for their minor league sport team’s SRI. Grateful residents experienced higher levels of subjective well-being (happiness, pleasure and satisfaction) as well as enhanced community pride and attachment due to the local sport team’s altruistic and prosocial behaviors. Research limitations/implications This study’s findings shed light on a critical function and benefit of a minor league sport team in rural communities. Emotionally valued prosocial efforts enhance the well-being of residents in rural communities. Thus, a reasonable course of action for local community leaders and public-sector organizations is to invest in and create partnership opportunities with their local minor league sport teams. Such efforts can turn sport teams into leverageable assets that can help promote healthy and sustainable communities for current residents as well as future generations. Originality/value A contribution of this study is the integration of the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions to better understand how gratitude mediates the relationship between SRI and beneficial community-focused outcomes such as pride, attachment and well-being.
