The survey interview questionnaire covers three dimensions of belonging, or what Campos-Medina 2019 describes as Bounded Integration: (1) Social Economic Status, (2) Civic and Social Movement Engagement, and (3) Collective Group Identity.

| Shelby | Carlson | Lab of Ornithology | Understanding public perceptions of anthropogenic causes of bird mortality: Cats and collisions | After habitat loss, predation by free-roaming domestic cats (Felis catus) and collisions with windows are among the leading causes of bird mortality throughout North America, collectively resulting in the loss of over 3 billion birds every year in the United States alone. Given that birds’ exposure to domestic cats and hazardous windows can be reduced through a variety of behavioral interventions, understanding public perceptions of and preferences for myriad mitigation methods is a critical step in reducing anthropogenic sources of bird mortality. This proposal describes a potential research study to advance understanding of the human dimensions related to avian mortality caused by window collisions and cat predation. |
