Abstract
We explored the how non-athletes, athletes doing mountain sports, and athletes doing sports other than mountain sports use five informational cues (relatedness, autonomy, competence, risk-taking, and weather conditions) for judging the degree of arousal and the degree of satisfaction experienced during mountain rambling. Participants gave their judgment of arousal and satisfaction in 32 scenarios constructed from the orthogonal combination of these information cues. All three groups integrated the informational cues in the same way. The impact of relatedness and the impact risk-taking varied according to the judgment condition.

We explored the how non-athletes, athletes doing mountain sports, and athletes doing sports other than mountain sports use five informational cues for judging the degree of arousal and the degree of satisfaction experienced during mountain rambling
The present study examined how people with different levels of involvement in mountain sports judge the level of arousal and satisfaction that are associated with diverse circumstances in which a particular session of mountain rambling has taken place
Summary
The material consisted of one set of 32 scenarios These scenarios resulted from orthogonal crossing of the levels of the five factors: Autonomy of choice (the individual decided to do rambling versus just followed the group’s decision) x Competence (the individual is competent in this activity versus is not competent) x Relatedness (the individual enjoys been with the other members of the group versus not enjoy) x Risk-taking (difficulties encountered on the track has led people to take risks versus no risk taken) x Weather conditions (bad versus good), 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2. The weather conditions were bad, and unexpected difficulties encountered on the track led Maël to take risks He enjoyed the personal relationships with the other individuals in the group during rambling. The right-hand or from “Low satisfaction” on the left-hand to “High satisfaction” on the right-hand, depending on the condition
