Abstract

Smartphones are increasingly appearing in outdoor recreation settings despite controversy surrounding their appropriateness. This study examined the perceptions of eight instructors of an outdoor leadership development program regarding appropriate and inappropriate smartphone use, tensions and boundaries that arise during outdoor activities, and how those tensions are navigated. Results indicate that instructors often welcomed smartphones for photography, navigation, and limited communication. In addition to travel and down time, instructors allowed those who participated in program activities to use smartphones during main activities so long as it did not interfere with program goals, distract others, or present safety concerns, even in high-risk and back-country areas. When uses were deemed inappropriate, reminders of established policies, increased communication, and social policing by other group members often resolved concerns.
在户外娱乐环境中使用智能手机带来的紧张感
尽管围绕智能手机是否合适存在争议,但智能手机越来越多地出现在户外娱乐场所。本研究调查了户外领导力发展项目的八位教师对智能手机的适当和不适当使用、户外活动中出现的紧张和界限以及如何处理这些紧张的看法。结果表明,教师通常欢迎智能手机用于摄影、导航和有限的通信。除了旅行和休息时间外,教练还允许参加项目活动的学生在主要活动期间使用智能手机,只要它不影响项目目标、分散他人注意力或引起安全问题,即使是在高风险和偏远地区。当使用被认为不合适时,其他组成员提醒已建立的政策、增加沟通和社会监督通常可以解决问题。
