Abstract
The paper examines the role of attitude in a recreationist's choice decisions. The investigation of this variable is conducted in terms of a recreationist's decision-making process, and the empirical test involves recreational boating decisions in central Ohio. The analysis reveals that an attitude dimension is present in the decision process of the sampled population. A regression analysis indicates that this variable is a major predictor of site selection. The results demonstrate the potential usefulness of studying the recreationist's attitude, particularly in the framework of a decision-making model.Keywords
