“…Since bootstrapping can prevent a significant Type I error rate due to the breach of the normal distribution, it is deemed to be preferable to the traditional Sobel test [ 101 ]. A considerable number of recent studies have used the bootstrapping approach to assess the mediating effect [ 82 , 102 , 103 , 104 ].…”

Waste sorting is a practical way of handling the garbage and an effective strategy for facilitating sustainable waste management. This research extended the theory of planned behavior (TPB) with self-identity and moral norms to predict waste sorting intentions in a heritage context of tourism. A total of 403 valid self-administrated questionnaires were achieved at a heritage destination in China. The results indicated that: (1) TPB variables (i.e., attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control), self-identity, and moral norms were all directly and positively linked to tourists’ waste sorting intentions, respectively; (2) self-identity indirectly influenced tourists’ waste sorting intentions through the mediation of moral norms; and (3) the integrated model exhibited better predictive utility than any single model. This research contributes to the literature on waste management in the context of tourism by extending TPB with identity and personal normative constructs. It also provides practical implications for destination managers to leverage tourists’ self-identity and moral norms for sustainable management.

“…The participants demonstrated a balanced gender ratio (48.1% of male and 51.9% of female); the respondents’ demographic profile was illustrated in Table 1 . Both the values of univariate skewness statistics (−0.632 to −0.198) and kurtosis statistics (−0.679 to 1.295) fell within the acceptable range [ 82 , 83 ].…”

“…As for the nature of our survey method, we had used multiple approaches to address the common method bias (CMB). Firstly, participants were assured of data anonymity and confidentiality (Conway and Lance, 2010; He et al , 2022). Hair et al (2010) suggest there is less likelihood of CMB if correlation coefficients among constructs are not very high (<0.6).…”

“…self-perceived health and health goal salience). In addition, there may be some differences of motivation and psychological needs in terms of during pandemic and post-pandemic (He et al , 2021b; He et al , 2022). For example, tourists pay attention not only to the sanitary regime, safety but also to their health conditions as well as that of their travel companions.…”

Purpose This study, guided by the feelings-as-information theory, aims to explore the effect of recovery experience of wellness tourism (REWT) on place attachment, alongside an examination into the mediating role of self-perceived health and the moderating role of health goal salience. The research site was traced for two years to monitor the evolution of the proposed model during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach The successive independent samples data (in 2020 and 2021, respectively) were collected in Shizhu county, China. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used with a survey of 1,472 wellness tourists (N2020 = 494, N2021 = 978) to test research hypotheses empirically. Additionally, independent sample t-test and multi-group SEM analysis were used to compare the mean difference of variables and coefficients’ difference between 2020 and 2021. Findings This study reveals that REWT can increase self-perceived health, resulting in a positive influence on place attachment. By tracing the research site and comparing the successive independent samples data, we found a stronger recovery experience effect of wellness tourism on place attachment alongside a weaker effect on self-perceived health in 2021. The positive relationship between self-perceived health and place attachment is significantly strengthened when health goals are salient. Originality/value This study investigated the mechanism behind the formation of place attachment in the wellness tourism context and extended understanding on the dynamic nature of the REWTand ongoing evolving person-place relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study also provided practical suggestions to benefit industry practitioners by enhancing current understanding of improving experience-based management in wellness destinations.

“…Compared to the Sobel test, bootstrapping with a confidence interval is regarded as a preferable option because it can prevent a significant Type I error rate brought by the deviation from the normal distribution [107]. The bootstrapping method has recently been used in considerable research to examine mediation effects [33,87,[108][109][110].…”

Tourists’ pro-environmental behaviors are critical to the conservation of cultural landscape heritage and for the sustainability of heritage tourism. Applying the theories of planned behavior (TPB) and self-congruity, this research explained the formation of tourists’ pro-environmental behavioral intentions (TPEBI). A total of 342 effective responses were gathered at a heritage destination, while another set of data was collected from a historic cultural destination for cross-validation (n = 345). The findings indicated that: (1) there are direct and positive associations between TPEBI and attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, self-congruity, and functional congruity; (2) functional congruity mediates the association between self-congruity and TPEBI; (3) the “congruity-TPB” framework has greater predictive capacity in comparison to the single model; (4) a cross-validation approach found consistent results by using a historic cultural district as another case. Taking both rational and value-expressive factors into consideration, the current study expands the applicability of the self-congruity theory in TPEBI research. Findings produce some new insights into sustainable destination management.
