The purpose of this study is to conduct an idiographic analysis of the attitude toward the instructions provided during an organized camp for children via the PAC (personal attitude construct) Analysis. The subject who had abundant experience at an organized camp for children described his instructions using the free association.Moreover, he estimated the degree of similarity between all pairs of association items. A cluster analysis was conducted based on the similarity matrix of the subject. Thereafter, he was asked to interpret his own clusters and describe their contents. The result of the case study revealed the individuality of the attitude construct toward the instructions provided at the camp.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Significant Life Experiences (SLE) in organized camp of childhood on environmental behavior after adult. Target group was consisted of 19-32 years old adults (n=68) who had experienced organized camp more than four times of childhood. Contrast group was consisted of same age adults (n=123) who had not experienced organized camp. To measure an environmental behavior of both groups, data was collected by Environmental behavior scale (Ministry of Environment, 2004). On the other hand, to measure SLE in organized camp of target group, Camp SLE scale developed by author and open-ended questionnaire were administrated, using mail survey. Analysis of variance, correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis (stepwise regression) showed following results; 1) There were high significant scores on environmental behavior including “reducing environmentalload”, “understanding environmental behavior” and ‘recommending environmental behavior’ of target group rather than contrast group. 2) “Direct experience with nature” in Camp SLE had significantly most positive effects on “understanding environmental behavior” and “reducing environmental load” in environmental behavior. 3) Qualitative data analysis showed that “direct experience with nature” in Camp SLE influenced on environmental behavior. These results suggest that “direct experience with nature” influenced on “understanding environmental behavior” and “reducing environmental load” of environmental behavior.
