Abstract
Continued interest in ·program evaluation· and improvement has led to calls for additional multivariate research, better measurement tools, and more complex research designs (Roberts & Yerkes, 2000; Ewert & Sibthorp, 2000). Through multivariate studies, researchers and practitioners can better discern which components of adventure programs have the greatest explanatory power regarding program outcomes, and which variables interact to facilitate or impede the learning of programmatic objectives. Recently, new instrumentation has been developed to better address the needs of adventure education research and evaluation. The Life Effectiveness Questionnaire (LEQ) was designed to measure eight domains that are possible outcomes for adventure programs and can also be used as a global index of Life Effectiveness (Neill, Marsh, & Richards, 1997).
