“…The findings revealed that consumers' perceptions of self-efficacy had a positive impact on their willingness. This conclusion is backed up by previous research [135][136][137]. Another study conducted in Telangana revealed that ease of use plays a vital role in customers' attitude towards solar energy [138].…”

Solar PV (photovoltaic) technology has gained considerable attention worldwide, as it can help reduce the adverse effects of CO2 emissions. Though the government of Pakistan is adopting solar PV technology due to its environmental friendliness nature, studies focusing on consumer’s acceptance of solar PV are limited in the country. This research aims to close this knowledge gap by looking into the various considerations that may influence consumers’ willingness to adopt (WTA) solar PV for household purposes. The study further contributes by expanding the conceptual framework of the theory of planned behavior by including three novel factors (perceived risk, perception of self-efficacy, and openness to technology). The analysis is based on questionnaire data collected from 683 households in Pakistan’s provincial capitals, including Lahore, Peshawar, Quetta, Gilgit, and Karachi. The proposed hypotheses are investigated using the state-of-the-art structural equation modeling approach. The empirical results reveal that social norms, perception of self-efficacy, and belief about solar PV benefits positively influence consumers’ WTA solar PV. On the contrary, the perceived risk and solar PV cost have negative effects. Notably, the openness to technology has an insignificant effect. This study can help government officials and policymakers explore cost-effective, risk-free technologies to lessen the environmental burden and make the country more sustainable. Based on research results, study limitations, as well as prospective research directions, are also addressed.

“…It is also possible to interpret this from the perspective of the aims that are executed during the course of cyclical sports groupings [ 23 , 24 ]. There is also research which illustrates that the clear aims of groupings and camps favour the feeling of responsibility for the activities associated with training, the rhythm of the day, and nutrition [ 14 , 22 , 25 , 26 ]. More frequent participation in taekwon-do activities is consistent with a lower level of anxiety.…”

“…In the field of martial arts, this notion is consistent with the claim that systematic training of taekwon-do favours concentrating on the process of striving towards the goal [ 1 ]. Additional forms in the manner of taekwon-do groupings and camps constitute an intensified form of this activity that requires physical effort [ 14 ]; however, not everyone is strongly involved in the achievement of a goal, the more so as they find themselves in new or surprising situations.…”

This study aimed to examine the relation between the feeling of meaningfulness and also the characteristics of engaged participation (namely, the frequency of participation in voluntary groupings) and the level of anxiety among those who train a group of elite taekwon-do fighters. The research encompassed 58 people, all of whom were taekwon-do ITF (International Taekwon-do Federation) athletes at an elite level. The Questionnaire of Life Orientation (SOC-29) and the Inventory of the State and Features of Anxiety were used. The data were supplemented by the authors’ own questions referring to activities in the field of taekwon-do. The group of taekwon-do fighters chosen was internally divided with regard to the level of the state of anxiety and the feeling of meaningfulness (p < 0.01). It was found that, together with the growth in the values stipulated in the accepted model, the frequency of taekwon-do groupings (β = −0.38), as well as the feeling of meaningfulness (β = −0.31), the value of the level of intensification of the state of anxiety dropped. The data revealed that, together with age, the level of anxiety decreased and the feeling of meaningfulness increased. The difference in the levels of anxiety between women and men was statistically non-significant (p > 0.05). The research findings illustrate that the feeling of meaningfulness and participation in groupings constitute a differentiating factor in terms of the intensification of the average level of anxiety in the elite taekwon-do group. More frequent participation in training goes hand-in-hand with the greater feeling of meaningfulness; perhaps, this is associated with the specific training, which, among other factors, favours adaptation to challenges and actions under pressure.

“…With reference to recommendations for dealing with cluster analysis [83], the two-cluster solution proved to be the most useful, as here, all of clusters were sufficiently large, the clusters differed significantly regarding the characteristic values of all items, and the cluster number was not too large. A two-cluster solution had already been utilized as the most useful strategy in other sports tourism analyses [84]. The two clusters (highly sustainable and diverse divers) differ significantly regarding all items.…”

The Importance of Sustainability in Diving Tourism—The Case of German Speaking Diving Tourists

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sustainability in sports tourism has increased in recent years. Sustainability is a particular focus for diving tourism. This paper analyses the meaning of sustainability to German speaking diving tourists to draw conclusions for the development of tourism strategies. Based on a literature review on the importance of sustainability in diving tourism, an empirical study was designed to understand the importance of the topic within the target group. A total of 174 German-speaking diving tourists were surveyed using an online-questionnaire. The subjects were clustered regarding their sustainable behavior. It could be shown that there is a correlation between age as well as gender and sustainable behavior. A conjoint measurement showed that for diving tourists, ecological aspects are more important than the prize of a diving trip. The gained insights can contribute to establish new and more sustainable offers in diving tourism and thus developing this area of sports tourism more sustainably overall.
