Research and Outreach Program
Overview - Research emphasis has been to apply social science information to
problems of natural resource management.
A theoretical program of research focuses on a macro-micro model to
examine human behavior toward wildlife and natural resources. Research is conducted in close collaboration
with managers in an effort to advance the utility and applicability of human
dimensions research and improve decision-making.
Recent Research Projects
Wildlife Values Globally. This is a collaborative research effort directed
toward developing a cross-cultural investigation of wildlife values. In the first stage of research, efforts are
being taken to develop instrumentation that will yield results that can be
compared cross-culturally. Following
development of instrumentation, field demonstrations of techniques will be
conducted. Countries involved in the effort include Africa, Mongolia, Thailand,
Denmark, China, and the U.S.
Wildlife Values in the West. This program, funded through the International
Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, is being conducted cooperatively
with the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. The research conducted an assessment of
public values toward wildlife for 19 western states. The project described the
value composition of publics in the Western U.S. while exploring possible
factors that are driving value shift in the West. The final study report is
available on-line
Hunter Responses to the Effects of Chronic Wasting Disease. Chronic wasting disease
causes death in elk and deer in Colorado. It is unknown whether or not the
disease can be transmitted to humans. This study estimated the effects of CWD on
hunting participation under conditions of increased spread and prevalence of
the disease. Eight states
participated in the study.
