This study examined and compared differences between gender groups regarding benefits, constraints, and willingness to pay related to university outdoor recreation programs. This information furthers understanding of these demographic groups and could assist decision makers with developing, marketing, and funding outdoor recreation programs targeted at higher education groups. Researchers crafted five hypotheses: Hypothesis 1: Females will participate in outdoor recreation less frequently than males will. Hypothesis 2: Females will rate benefits for participating in outdoor recreation higher than males will. Hypothesis 3: Females will rate constraints to participating in outdoor recreation higher than males will. Hypothesis 4: Females will rate the importance of outdoor programs higher than males will. Hypothesis 5: Female respondents will be willing to pay less for university programs than males will.
