Abstract
This 1984 study surveyed attitudes, beliefs, knowledge and
behavior of practitioners regarding behavioral research in
their field. One-hundred-seventy-four (91%) of the "site-based
environmental communicators" in Michigan and
Wisconsin responded. How subjects described themselves
(e.g. interpretive naturalist, environmental educator)
influenced attitudes toward research and patterns of
research dissemination and utilization. Overall, the
group was positive toward research in general, but
ambivalent about research in their field. Results
documented claims made about research by Risk (1985) and
emphasized the usefulness of a "research digest."
Improvements in the research/practice relationship were
suggested.
