| Abstract: | This study is conducted to determine the skills and traits outdoor (here as: o-d.) adventure trip leaders found to be be important for their co-leaders to possess on an extended o-d. trip. Utilizing Q-methodology, a 36-item instrument developed based on the leadership literature was administered to 17 o-d. leaders. Three factors representing three distinct leadership beliefs were determined, characterized by the titles as 'People-empowering leaders', 'Wilderness-power leaders', and 'Universal leaders'. Discussed are five trends in leader/co-leader preferences. |
