The purpose of this study to explore (1) the underlying factors personal rock climbing involvement and (2) the relationship among rock climbing involvement and the individual attribute, the activity/setting attribute.
The method used to conduct this study was by the mean of using questionnaires submitted by the rock-climbing participants that visited the Lone Dome, a total of 269 questionnaires were collected. The questionnaire is included sociodemographic, skill level, experience, frequency of participation, the motivations for rock climbing, social orientation, level of the enduring involvement of the participant in rock climbing, perception of risk, environmental preference, and louse of control.
The finding of this study showed that as enduring involvement increased, skill level/experience/frequency of participation increased, the louse of control shifted from external to internal, physical/functional risk increased, financial/satisfaction/psychological/time risk decreased, go rock climbing with teacher/mentor/people in classes less frequency than with peers of similar interest, the challenge/take a risk (intrinsic motivations) more strongly than the physical setting (external motivations), prefers more natural and challenge environment than human development environment. These characteristics and behaviors are then matched with certain recreation setting attributes that managers can manipulate in order to create high quality opportunities for the users.
