| Abstract: | Models based on three theories, expectancy theory, stimulus-overload theory and social interference theory, were tested using path analysis. Theory-based variables were significant and showed more explanation of variance than the traditional model based on density measures alone. The results show that as in backcountry settings, perceptions of crowding among froncountry visitors in a festival setting are more dependent on situational and environmental factors than on physical use levels. Expectancy theory and stimulus-overload theory contributed the most relevant explanatory variables for perceived crowding in this study. |
