本研究探讨了一些人口统计变量之间的关系和视觉偏好的彩色幻灯片描绘的传统和农业景观场景从挪威西部的198名挪威学生的样本。为了实现这一目标，制定了八项人口统计措施，利用熟悉程度、亚文化和专门知识。作为标准变量，sumscores构建的基础上的非度量因子分析（SSA-III），确定七个感知维度的视觉偏好的农业景观。研究结果表明，在农业景观的视觉感知方面，区域的一致性和分歧。因此，对于（a）对传统人类影响的设置和自然场景的高度偏好，以及（B）对主导人类影响和现代农业实践的许多影响的相对厌恶，几乎一致的共识被发现。相比之下，在中等偏好范围内的景观类别中发现了重要的分歧。对于描绘农业活动的一类场景，组差异发生率最高。最有力的人口预测的偏好跨景观类别目前的人口密度，性别，组织成员和专业知识。此外，年龄和目前居住的地理区域的影响进行了观察。研究结果支持证据从早期的分析景观的问题，表明强烈的偏好传统的农业环境。
This study examines the relationship between a number of demographic variables and the visual preferences for a sample of colour slides depicting traditional and agrarian landscape scenes from Western Norway among 198 Norwegian students. In order to attain this purpose, eight demographic measures, tapping familiarity, subculture and expertise, were developed. Serving as criterion variables, sumscores were constructed on the basis of a nonmetric factorial analysis (SSA-III), identifying seven perceptual dimensions in the visual preferences for agrarian landscapes. The results suggest areas of unanimity as well as areas of divergence with respect to the visual perception of agrarian landscapes. Thus, an almost unanimous consensus with respect to (a) the high preferences for traditional human-influenced settings and nature scenes, and (b) the relative dislike for dominating human influence and many of the effects of modern farming practices was found. In contrast, important divergencies were found for landscape categories in the moderate preference range, with the highest occurrence of group differences for a category of scenes depicting farming activities. The most potent demographic predictors of preference across landscape categories were present population density, gender, organization membership and expertise. In addition, effects of age and present geographical region of residence were observed. The findings support evidence from earlier analyses of the landscapes in question, indicating strong preferences for traditional agrarian settings.
