Outdoor recreation professionals have long sought to impact environmental behavior of participants. Mindfulness and nature connection have recently been explored as possible constructs to impact environmental behavior. The purpose of this study was to better understand the impact of mindful outdoor recreation trips on college students’ nature connectedness and ecological behavior. We used explanatory mixed methods approach to explore the relationship between mindfulness, nature connection, and ecological behavior. Quantitative findings suggest that being mindfully outdoors has a positive effect on the degree to which nature is included in the sense of self and on ecological behavior. Qualitative findings support the quantitative findings and suggest that students use mindfulness to connect with nature and to care more for the environment. These findings suggest that the use of mindfulness interventions in outdoor education programming may improve nature connection and ecological behavior. Subscribe to JOREL

Participation in friluftsliv has gained increased attention along with the growing concern regarding the extended prominence of mental health challenges. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of various forms of friluftsliv as part of recovery processes for people experiencing eating disorders. Following the PRISMA guidelines, we systematically searched in five databases and 5,994 hits were retrieved. Screening of abstracts according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria identified 13 full-text studies as eligible. The most prominent findings were improved body image and enhanced self-esteem following participation in friluftsliv. However, more high-quality research is necessary for an increased understanding of if, and how, friluftsliv can contribute in the recovery processes and reduction of factors associated with eating disorders.

TURNOVER OF OUTDOOR ADVENTURE EDUCATION FIELD STAFF by Justin M. Hall Spring 2019 Outdoor adventure education (OAE) organizations continually struggle with field staff turnover. Little research exists of this unique worker population and their unconventional living and working conditions warrant further exploration of the variables that best drive this phenomenon. The purpose of this study was to explore the strength and direction of the relationships between turnover predictor variables and intent to turnover (IT) of OAE field staff. Per the suggestion of organizational behavior and OAE literature, and conversations with OAE practitioners, five independent predictor variables were chosen; (a) tenure; (b) career development opportunities; (c) sense of community; (d) compensation satisfaction; and (e) burnout. A survey was developed adopting validated scales that measured each predictor variable and the dependent variable IT, of which a total of 101 OAE field staff successfully completed the survey. To test the predictor variables, two separate multiple linear regressions were calculated. Results suggest that compensation satisfaction’s pay subscale and sense of community are significant negative predictors of IT. These findings contribute to organizational behavior and OAE turnover literature by providing evidence for strong turnover correlates unique to a worker population seldom studied. Additionally, OAE practitioners can use these findings to aid in prioritizing their time and resources when combatting employee turnover.
