Lu, Hughes, and Mkono examine how Chinese audiences perceive interpretation differently within and outside of China.

Allen, Ogle, and Gray explore how visitors interact with live and non-personal elements within an interactive aviary. The articles are a strong reminder about the importance of three key ideas to conducting both meaningful interpretation and useful interpretation research: curiosity , humility and the drive to do good . Curiosity is what drives all meaningful research endeavors, as we start with a question about something and collect data to seek out the answers. Implicit within this journey, and central to conducting good research, is a strong sense of humility . We must identify areas of our own ignorance to develop a relevant research question, and we must be open to our hypotheses about the answers being wrong. Schwartz (2008) referred to this as “productive stupidity,” or the idea that asking and pursuing the answers to important questions requires us to first accept our own ignorance. Without sufficient doses of curiosity and humility, the research enterprise could not provide valid and useful findings for the field. In other words, researchers wouldn’t be doing the field any good .","PeriodicalId":364431,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpretation Research","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121260456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, researchers have questioned whether this approach resonates with younger audiences. Guided by the interpretive paradigm, this exploratory study used focus group interviews to explore young Chinese adults’ perceptions, views, and preferences of interpretation at Chinese and Australian nature-based tourist attractions. Findings provide corroborating evidence for subtle generational shifts. When in China, participants preferred interpretation that used traditional Chinese poems, legends, and stories, but questioned the authenticity of guides’ interpretive narratives; when in Australia, they preferred quintessentially Australian stories that provide insights into issues of cultural and scientific importance. A preoccupation with personal safety, particularly in Australia, also emerged. Findings demonstrate the fluidity of the Chinese visitor lens—participants applied different lenses to interpret familiar versus unfamiliar landscapes. Implications for the design of interpretive experiences for Chinese visitors are discussed.","PeriodicalId":364431,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpretation Research","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128951807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interpreters adopting such approaches encounter visitors’ eager responses to silence to requests for a less interactive form of engagement. At several parks interpreters were simultaneously asked to showcase park-based science using visualizations to invite discussion. Survey and interview data from interpreters participating in the educational initiative Interpreters and Scientists Working on Our Parks (iSWOOP), revealed that interpreters found ways to surmount the challenges they encountered. Accountability theory provides a lens for understanding how interpreters chose to respond when visitors’ expectations conflicted with their assignments. Supervisors’ actions made a difference particularly when they granted a green light for experimentation; allowed the interpreter latitude to shift location and topic; and dedicated time for interpreters to prepare and refine their approaches so they could successfully facilitate richly intellectual and emotional, place-based interpretation with visitors.","PeriodicalId":364431,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpretation Research","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125565497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What should we interpret? How shall we interpret it? For whom? Research on interpretation requires making similar decisions. What shall we study? How shall we study it? From whom do we collect data? For whom do we draw conclusions? What questions are we trying to answer? The three research articles in this issue highlight some of these critical decisions and reinforce the importance of continuing to ask relevant questions. First, Merson and colleagues grapple with decisions associated with competing accountabilities of interpreters in National Parks. In their study, the National Park Service’s emphasis on audience-centered experiences (ACE) sometimes conflicted with the desires of visitors for more traditional interpretive techniques. Interpreters found it important to be nimble and flexible in the moment, shifting their approaches to align with visitors’ wishes and expectations. Not all visitors wanted to engage actively in self-reflection or dialogic questions. The authors emphasize the importance of managers enabling discretion for interpreters in the field to make their own decisions about the appropriate place on the spectrum between traditional thematic and storytelling approaches and ACE techniques for each visitor group. Szczesny and colleagues discuss how tourism infrastructure in National Parks has transformed from serving to support visitors’ experiences to becoming important top-ics of park interpretation. Old hotels, for example, such as Yellowstone’s Old Faithful Inn, the Grand Canyon’s Hopi House Lodge and Yosemite’s Ahwahnee Hotel, have","PeriodicalId":364431,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpretation Research","volume":"7 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116855088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bear-resistant food storage canisters provide an extremely effective solution for reducing food-related human-bear conflicts, especially for overnight visitors in backcountry settings. However, the success of this intervention depends on recreationists’ willingness to use and comply with such food storage methods. This study used internet-based surveys to identify Appalachian Trail backpackers’ attitudes, norms, perceived behavioral control, and intentions regarding the use of bear canisters through an application of the Theory of Planned Behavior. Results indicate attitudes and subjective norms provide potential leverage points for messaging under voluntary conditions; messaging incorporating attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control may help influence food storage behavior under required conditions. Specific recommendations for effective, theory-based interpretation strategies aimed at reducing human-black bear conflicts on the Appalachian Trail are provided.","PeriodicalId":364431,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpretation Research","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125228456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
