Factors affecting intention to revisit an environmental event: The moderating role of enduring involvement

Centrality to life and the theory of planned behavior: the case of musk ox safaris in Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park, Norway

“…In turn, these attitudes and emotions may serve as "an unobservable state of motivation" that influences future behavior (Havitz & Dimanche, 1999, p. 123). Recent studies on involvement show positive relationships between involvement and participation in voluntary activities, intentions to revisit, concern for the environment, perceived interpretation service quality, and behavioral action (Fedler & Ditton, 2001;Forgas-Coll et al, 2017;Hwang et al, 2005;Jun et al, 2012;Lu & Schuett, 2014;Oh & Ditton, 2008;Tsai, 2020).…”

“…Centrality to life has since been used to measure involvement in several studies on recreation specialization (Harshaw et al, 2020;McFarlane, 1994;De Salvo et al, 2020;Scott & Shafer, 2001) and identified as one of the strongest measures of specialization (Needham & Vaske, 2013;Needham et al, 2007). Centrality has also been used as one of the main dimensions of enduring involvement (Forgas-Coll et al, 2017;Jun et al, 2012;Kyle et al, 2007;Lu & Schuett, 2014;Tsai, 2020). Given that centrality to life has been used as a main dimension of involvement and the literature suggests that involvement is related to attitudes, emotions, and future behavior (Havitz & Dimanche, 1999), we tested whether centrality to life was related to planned behavior and the other dimensions of TPB in our study.…”

“…Our study contributes to the WWT literature by investigating possible connections between TPB and centrality to life, a concept that is often used as a measure of involvement when studying participants' degree of recreation specialization (Bryan, 1977;Harshaw et al, 2020;De Salvo et al, 2020;Scott & Shafer, 2001) and enduring involvement (Forgas-Coll et al, 2017;Jun et al, 2012;Tsai, 2020). The literature also suggest positive relationships between involvement and concern for the environment as well as behavioral action (Forgas-Coll et al, 2017;Hwang et al, 2005;Tsai, 2020). We investigated participants' intentions to perform three pro-environmental behaviors, using musk ox safaris in Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park in Norway as a case study.…”

Green pull motives and overall tourist satisfaction: a macro- and micro-levels analysis

“…In this vein, Manaktola and Jauhari (2007) emphasized that green attributes provide intangible benefits, such as fulfilling guests’ psychological and emotional needs. Indeed, destinations or hotels characterized by natural and environmental features decrease stress (Davis et al , 2009; Hipp and Ogunseitan, 2011), stimulating the psychological well-being of tourists (Korpela et al , 2009; Han et al , 2020) so they feel obligated to reciprocate with positive attitudes and behaviors toward their hosts (Tsai, 2020). Moreover, green attributes may satisfy consumer emotional needs (Su et al , 2020a; Tsai, 2020) by satisfying their altruistic preferences and activating their positive disposition, which ultimately enhances their satisfaction (Jeong et al , 2014).…”

Consequently, Biswas et al (2020) contend that destination attributes should be addressed in a way that can increase tourist’s emotional involvement.…”
