Overview

Roy Ballantyne is affiliated with the University of Queensland in Australia and conducts research primarily in the fields of psychology and environmental science. Their work spans several subfields including social psychology, management, monitoring, policy and law, genetics, archeology, as well as tourism, leisure, and hospitality management.

Their research topics focus mainly on environmental education and sustainability, animal and plant science education, the wine industry and tourism, culinary culture and tourism, consumer behavior related to brand consumption and identification, human-animal interaction studies, and urban green space and health.

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Ballantyne include Jan Packer, Karen Hughes, Joanne Sneddon, Julie Lee, and David Priilaid.

Ballantyne has published in various academic venues, with multiple papers appearing in Visitor Studies, as well as publications in Tourism Management, Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management, Transactions of the Royal Society of South Africa, and Scientific Reports.

Significant papers authored or coauthored by Ballantyne include:

  • "Facilitating zoo/aquarium visitors' adoption of environmentally sustainable behaviour: Developing a values-based interpretation matrix" (2020, Tourism Management)
  • "Does Values-Based Interpretation Make a Difference? Testing Impacts on Visitors' Environmental Learning and Reported Adoption of Environmentally Responsible Behaviors" (2023, Visitor Studies)

Among the broader scientific community, Ballantyne's contributions are recognized in fields intersecting psychology and environmental science through both empirical studies and theoretical analyses that explore how educational and interpretive strategies influence visitor behavior in environmental contexts.

The research reflects an interdisciplinary approach combining understanding of human values, behavioral change, and sustainability within tourism and heritage management settings, often examining the relationships between zoo and aquarium staff, visitors, and their environmental attitudes.
