An Exploratory Study of the Relationship Between Human Values and Information Sources Within a Tourism Framework

Factors underlying the inclination to donate to particular types of charity

“…16 As such, personal values serve (consciously or unconsciously) as criteria for guiding actions, arranging priorities and choosing among alternatives. While it is known that personal values do not usually follow demographics, 17 it is equally well established that they exert strong influences on how people behave [18][19][20][21] including behaviour associated with gift giving 22 …”

“…Kahle derived this inventory from the work of Rokeach,15 Maslow (see 19 and a number of other sources. 20 The LoV instrument was selected as it incorporates the essential elements of other well-known values inventories, 19,33,34 has been extensively validated, and has been employed in a wide range of social science situations. 21,35 The instrument requires respondents to rate on five-point scales nine human values based on their importance in their own lives.…”

Shopping Tourist Satisfaction: An Application of Hedonic and Utilitarian Values

“…Furthermore, this study is limited in its explanation of all shopping behaviors because tourists may react differently to various types of shopping items (i.e., luxurious or non-luxurious products) and shopping venues (i.e., department stores, shopping centers, or duty-free shops). Future research may opt to differentiate tourist groups to deepen the understanding on the complex nature of tourist shopping behavior [71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83].…”

The Impact of Diversity Seeking and Volunteer Orientation on Desire for Alternative Spring Break Programs

“…These personal values are strongly held, enduring, higher order beliefs about what is right and important to the individual that serve as desired end states that drive human behavior (Beatty, Kahle, Homer, & Misra, 1985;Gutman, 1982;Kahle, 1983;Rokeach, 1968). Personal values influence specific attitudes and behaviors by shaping the information people seek and attend to (Fall, 2000), the appraisals of alternatives yielded by that information (Goldenberg, Klenosky, O'Leary, & Templin, 2000), the attitudes that arise from these appraisals (Muller, 1995), and the choices people ultimately make from among those alternatives (Madrigal & Kahle, 1994). Values are both shared and transmitted by important cultural, institutional, and social forces, and are relatively few in number (Kahle; Rokeach).…”

“…The four items assessing each of the four values satisfied by their spring break as identified by Klenosky (2002) were accomplishment ("I experienced a sense of accomplishment after this spring break"), fun and enjoyment ("I had lots of fun and enjoyment on this spring break"), excitement ("This spring break was very exciting for me"), and self-esteem ("I felt good about myself after this spring break"). These items were taken from Kahle's List of Values Scale (Kahle, 1983) that has been established and validated in numerous studies across different domains (Bearden & Netemeyer, 1999), including vacation travel (Fall, 2000;Madrigal & Kahle, 1994). The three items assessing their attitude toward their spring break were good/bad (1 = very bad; 7 = very good), favorable/unfavorable (1 = very unfavorable; 7 = very favorable), and positive/negative (1 = very negative; 7 = very positive) commonly used in attitudinal research in marketing (Bergkvist & Rossiter, 2007;Spears & Singh, 2004).…”
