This book summarizes a range of psychological research into how
zoos and aquariums operate in the minds of visitors and the broader
public. Bringing together core findings from emerging international
research, the book provides data-based summaries that situate the
content in the larger context of how cultural institutions shape
public understanding. The focus of this book is to bring into a
single resource, the major strains of research that have explored
how zoos and aquariums are situated in public consciousness, to
ground the discourses around what zoos and aquariums do in the
empirical data and evidence, and to find opportunities to summarize
well-established fact to support future research expanding on the
known. Among the topics discussed: History of zoo and aquarium
development The role of zoos and aquariums in environmental
literacy Empathy development at zoos Applying behavior change
theories to the zoo visitor's experience Social radiation of ideas
from cultural institutions Professional practitioners, zoo industry
professionals, and business leaders will find this book an
invaluable guide to the psychological literature surrounding the
zoo industry.
