The Concord, NC Independent Tribune of 21 June 2007 has an article by Justin Vick entitled "Trail to a raise? Concord man researches how hiking can improve work." It describes the doctoral studies on one Mark Ellison who "hopes to study how being in the wilderness can improve creativity, foster ethical decision-making and reduce stress at work."
Ellison is presenting some early findings at a conference in England this summer. This is all in connection with research for his "degree in adult and community college education from N.C. State University. He takes two classes a semester in the university’s Adult and Community College Education program offered in Charlotte."
Ellison works at Cabarrus College of Health Sciences and "hopes to interview people who hike regularly, particularly those who have hiked part or all of the Appalachian Trail." Contact info in the article.
