“…Therefore, CI is probably an independent construct with some associations with PI, EI, and NI (e.g., Parameswaran and Pisharodi, 1994 ; Castano et al, 2016 ). In sum, CI is an umbrella construct (Roth and Diamantopoulos, 2009 ; Elliot and Papadopoulos, 2016 ), which also plays an important role in individual's evaluations and behaviors (Li et al, 2014 ). Wang et al ( 2012 ) discussed that CI and PI were distinct but associated with each other in addition to having different influences on individual's evaluations and their purchase intentions.…”

This study aimed to investigate the conceptualization and measurement of China's country image (CI) as well as its effects on the economic image, product image, national image and residence intention of individuals. A total of 297 international students from central Asia were recruited to complete an online survey. The confirmatory factor analysis of CI scale showed that CI is a multidimensional construct consisting of a cognitive component (further be divided into government image, international image, and social image) and an affective component. Participants' ratings on China's CIs before and after coming to China were compared by using a repeated-measures ANOVA and paired sample t-tests, and the results showed a significant difference in government image and international image but no significant difference in social image. The regression analysis showed that CI significantly predicted the economic image, product image, national image and individual's residence intention. This study demonstrated a theoretical insight of CI research and could potentially contribute to optimizing strategies to improve the country reputation.

“…However, some researchers disagree with their first‐and‐second relationship (Elliot et al, 2011). At present, no researchers have analyzed the relationship of cognition‐emotion between TDI and PCI, but De Nisco et al (2015) and Elliot (2008) along with others believe that a halo effect also exists between tourism and marketing.…”

Based on coupling theory, this paper analyzes mainland Chinese tourists who had purchased Taiwanese products before they traveled to Taiwan, and presents three key findings: (1) The evaluation value of mainland Chinese tourists for tourism destination image (TDI) is higher than that of product country image (PCI). (2) The degrees of coupling coordination between TDI and PCI as well as cognitive TDI and cognitive PCI are barely balanced; the degree of coupling coordination between affective TDI and affective PCI is slightly unbalanced. (3) There are stable and fluctuating coupling coordination relationships between TDI and PCI in different social demographic groups.

A study on country images, destination beliefs, and travel intentions: A structural equation model approach

This study explores how individuals' cognitive and affective country images influence destination beliefs, and how these beliefs are associated with individuals' travel intentions. With the product country image and tourism destination image literature, we develop four hypotheses that are tested using structural equation modeling. We use a sample of 605 Japanese respondents. Our results indicate that the cognitive country image is positively associated with the affective country image. The findings suggest that both the affective and cognitive country images are positively related to the destination beliefs, and the destination beliefs are positively associated with the travel intentions.
