“…Previous studies recognize that emotions related to the memorability of the tourism experiences (Bastiaansen et al, 2019). Findings of the present research indicate that novelty may lead to positive as well as negative emotions in the tourism experiences (Kim J. H et al, 2012;Lin et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2017). Thus, novelty is independent of emotional valence (Förster et al, 2010).…”

In cognitive psychology novelty is an antecedent of attention, emotion, memory, and behavior. However, the relationship between novelty and experience memorability remains conceptually underdeveloped in tourism. This research applies cognitive appraisal theory (CAT) to explore the contribution of novelty and emotion to memorable tourism experiences (MTEs). Seventy-five novel travel episodes were identified through semi-structured interviews. Analysis focused on the antecedent and consequent conditions of novelty. Novel experiences, whether positive or negative, were identified as critical to experience memorability. Novelty could be segmented into trip-related and event-related dimensions. Novelty contributes to how spatial, temporal, and contextual details of tourism experiences are remembered and reconstructed due to the elicitation of intense emotions. Analysis revealed negative experiences deemed as novel were found to be re-evaluated and often remembered as a positive experience. A conceptual model titled "cognitive appraisal of novelty in memorable tourism experiences" is presented for consideration in future research. By applying a retrospective and prospective approach the conceptual model explores the role of novelty through the process of cognitive appraisal, identifying goals, attention, and prior experiences as central for the experience of novelty. Future research should consider the application of recent advance in CAT to advance inquiry on tourism experiences as a psychological phenomenon.

“…The sample also reported having an average of 320 Facebook friends each. The demographic profile is similar to recent travel research into Facebook users (Wang, Kirillova, and Lehto 2017). To mitigate the risk of social desirability bias, only workers with a validated track record of more than 50 past surveys were selected, and participants were assured of their anonymity (Peer, Vosgerau, and Acquisti 2014).…”
Vicarious consumption of travel is ubiquitous. However little is known about the psychological processes this initiates or the potential for resultant behaviors beyond direct steps toward patronage. We address this gap through developing and testing the incidental vicarious travel consumption model (IVTCM), which draws from well-established knowledge of the self-concept and compensatory consumption. In the context of vicariously consuming idyllic vacation posts on Facebook, the model identifies the following: individuals' travel-related self-discrepancies may become active, leading to feelings of dejection, initiating five possible compensatory consumption behaviors (Direct, Symbolic, Dissociation, Escapism, Fluid). A sequential mixed-method design (total n=860) provides support for the IVTCM. The primary contributions of the paper are as follows: first the IVTCM can be used to understand different forms of vicarious travel consumption. Second, specific understanding on the impact of idyllic vacation posts is contributed, furthering knowledge on the role of social media within tourism.
“…We propose that such positive expectations on what will be received from the mentor will motivate the mentee to stay in the mentoring relationship. This proposition is supported by the research on decision‐making and judgment, which indicates that how an individual mentally frames a scenario will influence their expectations on the outcomes that they could receive, which will in turn influence their behaviors (Wang, Kirillova and Lehto ).Proposition 2: The mentee's perception of being in a positive mentoring relationship will cause them to experience positive affect.Proposition 3: The mentee's positive affect will cause them to expect receiving support from the mentor, and to stay in the relationship.…”
Section: Influence Of Positive Interpretation Of Significant Event Onmentioning
The question of why mentees stay with a dysfunctional mentor has puzzled many scholars. In this paper, we argue that fresh graduates in an ongoing mentoring relationship are bombarded with feedback from both good and bad events that happen between them and their mentor, making it difficult for the mentee to know, with certainty, if their relationship with the mentor is objectively positive or negative. To decide whether they should stay with a mentor, we propose that mentees will constantly seek clues from their daily interactions with the mentor to judge if they will receive future benefits from the relationship. Drawing inferences from the intimate partner violence literature, we propose that fresh graduate mentees might misinterpret negative interactions with the mentor in a positive light, thus deciding to stay in the relationship because they expect to receive future benefits despite having experienced negative mentoring experiences.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
