“…This proposed relationship was based upon the assertion that individualists tend to be more hedonistic. 41 From a consumer behaviour perspective, the resultant desire for hedonic consumption, Solomon 42 noted, results in an enhanced emotional interaction with products to include the seeking of products and possessions that reflect the consumer's self-images. Given this relationship, therefore, individualistic travellers were expected to report greater satisfaction with a destination they considered reflective of self.…”

Self-image congruity, the relationship between one’s self-image and one’s image of a product or service, is a widely accepted consumer behaviour theory lately finding currency in tourism literature. For tourism, as a global industry involving international tourists from varied cultural backgrounds, it is important to explore how the theory holds across a broad spectrum of cultures. To test the concept’s cross-cultural applicability, an exit survey which overlaid the concept of self-image congruity with Geert Hofstede’s cross-cultural dimension of individualism/collectivism was administered to vacation travellers from multiple cultures as they departed Singapore airport. The results affirmed the applicability of the concept of self-image congruity for tourism research and, extending this understanding, suggested that the concept enjoyed enhanced robustness when considered in conjunction with the cultural moderating variable of individualism/collectivism.

“…Solomon (1961) gives estimates of the altitudes above which there is a given probability of less than 1/10 cloud cover. For example, in January, an 80 percent probability exists that there is less than one-tenth cloud cover above about 25,000 feet for the extreme northern United States and above 33,000 feet for the southern United States.…”
