Abstract
Recreation that involves learning about nature, or viewing, observing, studying, identifying, or photographing nature may be termed appreciative recreation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the on-site phase of an appreciative recreation experience and, specifically, to identify how time spent in a nature-based environment influences the environmental focus of participants. The researchers collected data from visitors (adjusted N = 158) at Congaree National Park using a version of the Experiential Sampling Method. Data analysis consisted of a Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Multi-Level Modeling. The researchers concluded that time spent at the park does have a significant influence on an appreciative recreation experience and that there are three phases of the experience: preparation, immersion, and separation.
