In some instances the same individuals were observed engaging in both depreciative and responsible behaviors. Findings point to the importance of looking beyond the individuals potentially responsible for such behaviors, to other factors such as characteristics of the site. Managers need to maintain a broad picture of the factors influencing depreciative acts in order to be able to develop effective interventions. The primary contact for the study is Patricia Winter. The Social Aspects and Recreation Symposium will be held February 23-25, 1994.
More information is forthcoming.
