“…Such cues include: a) the emotional state of a person during encoding which, if relived, may evoke a memory, b) semantic cues that link a memory with another memory and c) context-specific cues related to the environment and/or situation. Additionally, forgetfulness may arise in the form of repression due to an effort to forget a traumatic experience ( Becker-Blease et al, 2011 ). While much pertinent discussion on forgetfulness relies on individual perspectives, collective forgetting has also been noted as a process of (re)shaping collective memory and identity ( Harrison, 2013 ), mostly observed in emotionally loaded situations (i.e.…”

Even though academic attention has been paid on the tourism-memory nexus, the concept of forgetfulness in tourism has been largely overlooked and remains unexplored. The aim of this research note is to introduce the concept of forgetfulness alongside memory within tourism scholarship to discuss the way in which it may be integrated with future research. In so doing, the discussion focused on a tourist crisis context as tourists’ post-crisis behaviour often reflects forgetfulness as evidenced by their travel resumption patterns. Overall, by linking the concepts of forgetfulness and tourism, this research note contributes to knowledge advancement on tourism crises by shifting attention away from risk perceptions towards an understanding of the cognitive and emotional processes influencing tourist behaviour. The research note also illuminates understanding of how crises are forgotten; hence, contributes to the improvement of crisis management strategies. The research note concludes by proposing an agenda for future research.

Moreover, we assessed only participants' self-ascribed sexual identity at the time of the survey.…”

Mostly heterosexual women reported levels of pathological alcohol use, lifetime rates of tobacco and marijuana use, and recent depressive symptoms that were higher than EH women and relatively similar to lesbian and mostly lesbian women. Bisexual women reported heavier current use of marijuana and were more likely than mostly heterosexual women to report childhood sexual abuse. Implications for mental health services for clients who identify as non-EH are discussed.
