Measuring literacy in tourism: Conceptual ambiguities, methodological challenges, and practical guidelines
Measuring Travel Insurance Literacy: Effect on Trust in Providers and Intention to Purchase
Recent research suggests that some deficiencies in the insurance industry might be associated with tourists’ lack of knowledge. However, the literature does not present a tool that captures objective knowledge of travel insurance literacy. This research presents a comprehensive, multi-step scale development process resulting in a 15-item scale, which measures objective knowledge about travel insurance terms, regulations, and processes. The result…
Managing students’ illusion of control in higher education: Effect on unrealistic optimism and expectancy disconfirmation
Prior studies showed that optimism has positive benefits for students in higher education. However, research indicates different types of optimism, including the unrealistic optimism associated with the illusion of control. The literature review showed a lack of research on the effect of the illusion of control among students in higher education. Two studies were conducted to fill this gap. In Study 1 ( N = 210), university students responded to …
Co-Innovation in Dark Tourism: Quality and Type of Tourists’ Ideas Before vs. After the Visit
Building on prior findings on co-innovation and dark tourism, this research examined if and how the experiential stage (before vs. after the visit) affects the quality and the type of ideas provided by tourists. Four hundred visitors shared new ideas for a dark tourism experience, in Medellin (Colombia). Half of the sample was interviewed before visiting the site and the other half after the visit. The results show that before the visit (i.e. les…
The Influence of the Dimensions of Perceived Value on Keepers’ Satisfaction and Intention to Abandon
This research examines the effect of dimensions of keepers’ perceived value (utilitarian, emotional, social) of their dogs on the dogs’ behavioral problems, keepers’ satisfaction, and intent to abandon their dogs, using confirmatory factor analysis ( CFA ) and structural equation modeling ( SEM ). A questionnaire was administered to 330 keepers walking their dogs in a national park in Bogotá, Colombia, which examined their perceptions of and atti…
Companion Dog Routine Inventory: Scale Validation and the Effect of Routine on the Human-Dog Relationship
The dimensions and effects of the construct "child routine" have been broadly investigated in the field of social psychology. Three studies were conducted to adapt this construct to the field of human–animal relationships and to measure dog routine. The procedure included the initial item generation and item reduction process. Study 1 was conducted to examine the dimensionality, reliability, and validity of the scale. A total of 245 dog owners fr…
La influencia del consumo simbólico en la intensidad de uso de las redes sociales digitales y el valor percibido de las experiencias
Esta investigación analiza cómo el consumo simbólico (congruencia entre el objeto consumido y la identidad del consumidor) se extiende en la actualidad hasta el consumo de experiencias. Como muestran los resultados, cuando un consumidor observa que una experiencia refuerza su identidad, este percibe mayor valor de dicha experiencia, lo que aumenta su satisfacción y su intención de recompra. También se desprende de los resultados que, a la hora de…
