“…In addition to the ESS being utilized in work to support Durkheim's initial framework, where the construct was significantly predicted from residents' interaction, shared beliefs, and shared behavior with tourists (Woosnam 2011a;Woosnam 2011b), the construct (and its corresponding dimensions) has been considered an outcome of length of residence (Woosnam et al 2014). Woosnam and Aleshinloye (2013), in building on the work of Woosnam (2012), tested Durkheim's model from a tourists' perspective, showed how interaction, shared beliefs, and shared behavior each significantly predicted levels of emotional solidarity.…”

Abstract:This study proposes a theoretical model integrating two lines of tourism research: emotional solidarity and destination loyalty. In order to test the proposed model, a survey of visitors to Cape Verde islands was undertaken. Structural equation modeling and moderated mediation analysis were implemented to assess the relationships involving visitors' emotional solidarity with residents, satisfaction and destination loyalty. The three dimensions of emotional solidarity were considered in the study: feeling welcomed, sympathetic understanding and emotional closeness.Results indicate that visitors' feeling welcomed and sympathetic understanding directly influence loyalty. In particular, the relationships involving visitors' feeling welcomed by residents, emotional closeness with residents and sympathetic understanding with residents and loyalty were all mediated by satisfaction. Additionally, gender was found to moderate the conditional indirect effects of emotional closeness and feeling welcomed on loyalty (via satisfaction). Such relationships were stronger among male visitors. Implications as well as future research opportunities are offered.

“…Durkheim's (1912) classic model of effects of participation in collective gatherings states that shared beliefs, shared behaviour and interaction tends to lead to emotional solidarity. It is this concept of emotional solidarity that underpins some of the few studies in the tourism sector relating to this aspect of collective emotion (Woosnam, 2011;and Woosnam et al, 2014).…”

I Remember How We All Felt: Perceived Emotional Synchrony through Tourist Memory Sharing

Durkheim’s theory of collective emotion and the concept of perceived emotional synchrony are used to explore tourism memories and to create a conceptual model explaining how and why we come to agree on how we felt when reliving past tourism experiences. This process is dependent on the malleability of memory, which allows emotional synchrony to happen in retrospect, regardless of actual feelings at the time. I argue that the innate motivations behind this post-consumption merging are a stronger sense of community and of belonging to a social group. For tourism practitioners, this highlights where the true value lies for the consumer, the belief in a shared emotional experience. This value develops through the synchronization of memories creating the basis for a shared memory economy. The implications for tourism marketers are discussed, and suggestions for further research into memory and travel experience are identified.

“…emotions (Woosnam, Aleshinloye, Van Winkle, & Qian, 2014) and the value in collectively remembering these emotions (Wood, Kenyon, & Moss, 2012). Drawing from the literature within consumer psychology and social psychology (Mannell & Iso-Ahola, 1987) the concepts of emotion and shared, or collective, emotion is firstly discussed.…”

Drawing on the wider literature in the psychology and sociology of emotions and memory this study provides new insights into the formation and role of shared emotion in the memory of event experiences. The methodology draws together several data collection methods in order to capture the complexity of emotional response. Thick data are gathered from a single case study friendship pair using a combination of short surveys, physiological measures, photo elicitation, and paired interviews to provide a detailed understanding of the experience from anticipation to recollection and reflection to response. The longitudinal data show that what was felt at the time changes considerably in recollection often becoming more intense as time passes and it is the act of sharing these memories that appears to intensify and alter them. This suggests that the often flawed and certainly mediated memory of the experience has a more influential role to play in attitude formation than previously thought. Furthermore, it is the desire for a feeling of emotional congruity that creates and strengthens this emotional response in remembering. Therefore, the mediated memory of the attendee experience has more influence on behavior than the reality of the experience. It is recommended that event marketers use this understanding to design opportunities, beyond the experience, in which memories can be created and shared.
