“…Fear of COVID-19 is a negative emotional state of depression and anxiety due to the awareness of possible outcomes associated with COVID-19, such as infection with coronavirus (Ahorsu et al, 2020). Fear of COVID-19 increases anxiety about going out, and thus significantly decreases consumer behavioral intentions (Apaolaza et al, 2022). Even if they are satisfied with their destination, travelers will reduce their travel intentions under the influence of fear of COVID-19 (Rehman et al, 2021).…”

IntroductionThe spread of COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 has significantly affected the tourism industry. Most current tourism research on emergencies focuses on issues such as the revitalization of the tourism economy. However, research on aspects such as visitor perception has not received sufficient attention, This study contributes to the literature by analyzing the effects of social interactions, multidimensional perceived value, fear of COVID-19, and age on travelers’ travel intentions during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodThis study constructs a structural equation model, formulates the corresponding hypotheses, investigates Chinese travelers, and verifies the moderating effect of COVID-19 fear.ResultsAll of the proposed hypotheses were verified. The three dimensions of perceived value and satisfaction had a significant mediating effect in the relationship between perceived quality and travel intention, and that fear of COVID-19 had a significant moderating effect in the relationship between satisfaction and travel intention. With the moderation of fear of COVID-19, age had a significantly negative effect on travel intention.DiscussionGiven extant research demonstrating that both math activities and math talk predict children’s math skills, our results stress the need for multimethod studies that differentiate among these HME opportunitiesThe findings confirmed a significant mediating effect of the three dimensions of perceived value and satisfaction on perceived quality and travel intention. fear of COVID-19 had a significant moderating effect on satisfaction and travel intention. In addition, age had a significant negative effect on travel intention under the moderation of fear of COVID-19; thus, travel intention decreases with age.

“…PMT uses fear as a stimulus to initiate certain actions in situations that are uncertain and/or out of control (Poon & Tung, 2022). In the context of COVID-19, a few studies used the fear appeals theory to assess users' perceptions towards food services (Apaolaza et al, 2022;Bouarar et al, 2021). COVID-19 fear develops a defence mechanism in users in order to handle a threatening event.…”

“…Such perceptions affect consumers' selection or rejection of a service based on potential losses or consumption values (Bouarar et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2022). Perceived COVID-19 risk assesses consumers' stress or fear of getting infected while using food delivery services (Apaolaza et al, 2022). When COVID-19 stress was high, consumers became more conscious of hygiene and safety issues associated with food delivery or delivery staff.…”

Further, theories such as protective motivation theory (PMT) were used to explain fear appeals (Truong & Truong, 2022).…”

The COVID‐19 pandemic appears to be winding down. But has its psychological effect of the pandemic also faded? This next stage remains uncertain, which needs to be explored further. This article aims to understand changing consumer attitudes in post‐pandemic times. In this regard, the present study conducts a cross‐country analysis to examine and compare the COVID‐19 fear appeals of consumers in India and Spain (if they still exist) that may have an influence on the future use (FU) and recommendation of online food services (OFS). The study integrates the concept of fear appeal, the theory of planned behaviour and cultural values to observe differences between Indian and Spanish consumers, in influencing their intention to use OFS. The findings confirm the importance of hygiene risk, with very low or no significance of perceived COVID‐19 risk on OFS usage in both countries.

“…Existing research recognizes that the perceived threat of diseases, including COVID-19, encourages vaccination intention ( Su et al, 2021 ) but negatively influences consumer tourism or dining-out intention ( Pine and McKercher, 2004 ; Zhong et al, 2021 ; Apaolaza et al, 2022 ). In the new normal context of COVID-19, consumers might be eager to return to their normal life to satisfy their pent-up demands when governments eased preventive measures to promote economic recovery ( Geducos, 2022 ).…”

While hospitality scholars have been conducting research on post-pandemic consumption recovery, the impact of the psychological consequences of COVID-19 on consumers’ post-pandemic behavior remains insufficiently addressed. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the relationships among anticipated emotions, perceived value, perceived threat, and dining-out intention in the COVID-19 context. In this study, 621 restaurant consumers in China were surveyed and the data were analyzed with structural equation modeling. The results suggested that positive anticipated emotions affect perceived hedonic, utilitarian, and social values, whereas negative anticipated emotions affect hedonic value. Hedonic and utilitarian values then influence dining-out intention. Perceived threat in terms of perceived severity and susceptibility to COVID-19 was explored to moderate the impacts of hedonic and social values on the intention. This study contributes to the literature by identifying the positive, distinct roles of both anticipated emotions on consumer dining-out intention through perceived values and threats during the early recovery of COVID-19.
