“…They tend to engage in activities, procedures, and actions that enable them to avoid any potential risks to their health and they will be actively committed to obeying regulations and behaviours that decrease their possible health threats. This finding is relevant to that of Alhemimah (2023), and Tasantab et al (2022) who found that travellers will be motivated to follow adaptive protections when they feel seriously threatened due to health or other travel risks.…”

“…According to the protection motivation theory, when people are convinced of the potential risk (i.e., threat appraisal), they become motivated to adopt coping behaviours to avoid that risk (Rogers, 1975). Hence, Tasantab et al (2022) found that individuals' adaptation appraisal motivates the adaptation intention. In the tourism context, Zheng (2021) indicated that travellers' perceived risks motivate their protection behaviours to minimize these risks and therefore, they will be engaged in the activities and behaviours that help them avoid the perceived risk and will attempt to commit the protective actions and obey the instructed regulations to prevent any health threats.…”

COVID-19 has crucially changed the motivations, attitudes, and behaviours of travellers. This study explores the shifts in travel attitudes after the COVID-19 pandemic and how these changes affect the intention for upcoming travels. It investigates the moderating role of the traveller personality in forming the relationships between travel attitude’s antecedents and future travel intention. The study adopts the deductive approach and employs the quantitative method to achieve its aim. It compares the perceptions collected via a questionnaire from random travellers from three countries: UAE, Egypt, and Jordan. PLS-SEM is used for data analysis. It is revealed that protection motivation intentions, destination selection factors, and travel patterns/ arrangements predict travel attitudes post the pandemic. Cautious travellers are highly concerned with protection intentions and destination selection post-epidemic compared with normal travellers. Findings help us understand the shifts in travel attitudes and intentions after the pandemic. Understating the influence of the epidemic on tourists’ attitudes and intention to travel post-pandemic is strongly needed to accelerate tourism recovery and ensure a safe travel environment for tourists. Theoretically, the study responds to the research calls for examining the changes in travel motivations, attitudes, and behaviours. Practically, the study profiles travellers based on their travel personality (i.e., cautious versus normal travellers) and identifies the characteristics of each category. This will help destination marketers and service providers to adopt the relevant strategies to meet the tourists’ needs, expectations and fears in the post-pandemic new normal.

“…As a result, this may incapacitate some members because when they choose to not participate in the community or seek information to avoid anxiety, they experience feelings of lower self‐efficacy, lower community efficacy, and no knowledge to even evaluate response efficacy, as we see in our data. Self‐efficacy and outcome expectations are key predictors of taking response actions (McCaffrey et al, 2018; Tasantab et al, 2022). Self‐efficacy and perceived control over outcomes also play a vital role in whether members engage in coping efforts to improve their situation (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984; Stephens et al, 2023).…”

“…Previous research on preparedness has focused on identifying individual factors that predict decision‐making and intention to prepare (Bubeck et al, 2018; McCaffrey et al, 2018; Tasantab et al, 2022; Wilson et al, 2019). While there has been considerable research in flood preparedness and adaptation in vulnerable and/or marginalized communities (e.g., Babanawo et al, 2023; Opabola et al, 2023), preparedness does not solely rely on individuals; it must involve a deeper understanding of how institutions and communities' function to inspire preparedness (Federal Emergency Management Agency, 2019; Stephens et al, 2022).…”

Disasters can have devastating impacts on communities particularly when they are disproportionately impacted by flooding. Despite the presence of governmental programs implemented to increase community preparedness for flooding, communities may still struggle. Currently, we have limited holistic knowledge of barriers that stifle community preparedness. To address this gap, we conducted 32 in‐depth interviews with stakeholders including community members, leaders, and city employees in a community subject to flood risk. The findings suggest that preparedness is not overcome simply by providing knowledge, and people do not necessarily embrace preparedness after participating in training programs. Rather, community preparedness is entwined with addressing chronic stressors, increasing community participation, and attending to social justice and broken trust due to historical mistreatment of the community. We hereby introduce the notion of community preparedness efficacy—defined as the barriers needed to be overcome for communities to be able to prepare for disasters—that considers chronic stressors, community participation, social justice, and equity to move underserved communities forward.

“…The model predicts that these two processes guide individuals' adaptive responses [2,44,52,61]. Although the PMT was initially developed to predict individuals' health-related behaviors, the theory has recently been applied to predict individuals' environment-related behaviors, such as residents' pro-environmental behaviors [48,51,65,66] and public support for environmental policies [17,52,67,68].…”

Investigating Public Support for the Carbon Generalized System of Preference through the Lens of Protection Motivation Theory and Information Deficit Model

The pressing challenges of climate change require government policy interventions. The carbon generalized system of preference (CGSP) is a novel incentive policy that has tremendous potential to reduce carbon emissions in response to climate change. However, there have been few studies focusing on public support for the CGSP, which is the precondition for its seamless implementation. Drawing on the protection motivation theory and information deficit model, this study presents and empirically validates a holistic theoretical framework in which information (information about climate change and information about the CGSP), threat appraisal (threat vulnerability and threat severity), and coping appraisal (response efficacy, self-efficacy, and response cost) are the factors influencing public support for the CGSP. Survey data of 372 respondents were empirically analyzed using the PLS-SEM method. The results show that threat vulnerability, threat severity, response efficacy, and self-efficacy positively affect public support for the CGSP, while response cost does not influence public support for the CGSP. Information about climate change indirectly influences public support for the CGSP through threat vulnerability and threat severity. Information about the CGSP not only directly affects public support for the CGSP but also indirectly affects public support for the CGSP through response efficacy and self-efficacy. The theoretical framework of this study can serve as a reference for future research on public support for environmental policies. The findings of this study also furnish insights for policymakers to develop feasible strategies for the seamless implementation of the CGSP.
