Notes
- Abstract:
- Despite considerable advances in recreational leisure constraint research, there have been virtually no studies conducted specifically to explore the impact of constraints on female scuba divers. Recreational adventure research in the area of Scuba Diving has primarily focused on men’s experiences. Until the 1970’s, Scuba diving was a male dominated activity existing within cultural norms and expectations associated with dominant gender ideology (Sleeper & Bangasser, 1979; Hauser, 1976). During the last 20 years, Scuba diving participation among females has increased and numerous female leaders, innovators and mentors have emerged (Jennings,2007; Women Divers Hall of Fame, 2016). The Scuba diving industry would greatly benefit from research focused on women diver’s constraints, which would help guide marketing toward niche markets. This paper uses two survey instruments to explore the relationship between Women Divers Hall of Fame (HOF) and non-hall of fame (NHOF) female divers with leisure constraints. The first is a revised survey from Lyu and Oh, (2014) on the constraint negotiation process, which measures interconnections between leisure constraints, self-efficacy and negotiation strategies. The second survey is The Outdoor Recreation Selfefficacy (ORSE) survey by Mittelstaedt and Jones (2009) which measures the self-efficacy level of women who participate in outdoor recreation activities A total of 200 participants (HOF=18, NHOF=182) completed the online surveys to participate in the study.
