Outdoor Pursuits and Adventure Experience.
Yaffey, David
Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Leadership, v8 n2 p22-25 Sum 1991
Suggests that outdoor pursuits and adventure activities promote Maslow's goal of self-actualization. Identifies the middle-order needs (belonging and self-esteem) trap as an inhibitive barrier to growth and maturation of the personality. Proposes six mechanisms to transcend the trap in the outdoor experience. (KS)
