摘要

Risk is a characteristic aspect of participation in outdoor recreation activities that has been shown in research to attract participants (Ewert, 1987; Miles & Priest, 1990; Lyng, 2005). Previous research has determined that as individuals become more proficient at a risk associated with an adventure activity, the relationship between competence levels and appropriate risk taking typically moves beyond the limits of previously acceptable risks (Martin & Priest, 1986; McIntyre, 1989; Jones, Hollenhorst & Perna, 2003). As the technological world around us rapidly changes, one also finds new gear and equipment that fill our packs in outdoor activities. As these technologies have continued to evolve, the noticeable rise in dependence upon these new resources has created some increased level of risk taking that was not found prior to the technologies' introduction (Cone, 2009), as well as a confirmed addition of a "false sense of safety," which may influence decisions and behaviors (Martin & Pope, 2012, p.120). This study was designed to investigate the influence that new technology has on altering recreationalists' decision-making tendencies and to determine if this usage leads them to develop a false sense of safety. Statistical evidence based on an analysis of the correlations between multiple variables was presented to conclude that certain technologies commonly associated with adventure recreation activities might impact an individual's perceptions of risk by creating a false sense of safety and subsequently influence their decision-making process. The statistically significant positive path coefficients provided sufficient evidence to demonstrate that a higher use of technologies predicted: (a) stronger attitudes toward risk taking and more optimistic beliefs about rescue; (b) higher levels of making unsafe decisions and a greater knowledge of unsafe decision factors; and (c) an increased level of risk taking.
