“…We then performed a CFA to confirm the proposed conceptual framework. As demonstrated in our study, and also in other studies previously conducted by some of the same authors (see e.g., Chen et al, 2013;Chen et al, 2009;Wang et al, 2014), this approach appears to be very effective in ensuring high reliability and validity for the developed scale.…”

“…There is a particular lack of such instruments to measure this pair of cultural beliefs in China, where collectivism is strongly advocated. It is commonly accepted that beliefs, including individualism and collectivism, are shaped by culture (Chen et al, 2013;Oyserman et al, 2002). However, many participants in our study had high IND subscale scores, despite having grown up in the Chinese culture.…”

We developed and psychometrically evaluated the Concise Scale of IndividualismCollectivism (CSIC) to support the growing need for cross-cultural research to better understand the relationship between culture and health. To construct the scale, we used the concept mapping technique. The CSIC contains 18 paired items, 9 of which are used to assess respondents' level of individualism and 9 to assess collectivism, rated using a 5-point Likert scale. We evaluated the instrument using a diverse sample (N = 249, Mage = 29.64, SD = SOCIAL

“…From the perspective of demand, the Spring Festival, a period during this pandemic, is an important scene to stimulate consumption [31], but this scene is very time-sensitive and cannot be reproduced throughout the year [32]. In the long run, the epidemic will reduce people's willingness to consume in addition to necessities and immediate needs.…”

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all sectors of the economy and society. To understand the impact of the pandemic on firms in China and suggest responding public policies, we investigated firms in Guangdong Province (a Province with the highest Gross Domestic Product in China). Methods: The survey sample included 524 firms in 15 cities in Guangdong Province. We chose these firms from list published by the government, considering the industrial characteristics of Guangdong province and firm size. The questionnaire comprised of four categories and included 17 questions was developed based on previous studies carried out by OECD. The executives of firms were contacted by phone or WeChat, and were invited to answer self-administered questionnaires through an on-line survey platform. The data was analyzed by SPSS.Results: The following findings are worth to be noticed: (1) 48.7% of firms maintained stability, and 35.1% of the firms experienced a halt in operation or faced closure; (2) Nearly 70%-90% of the firms are or are willing to transform to online marketing, remote office work, and digital operations. (3) 46% of firms believe that there will be a certain loss this year, and 83.5% expected a decreasing trend of the city's GDP growth.Conclusions: firms in Guangdong Province have faced great challenges in the epidemic. The firms’ production and operation activities are limited, and risks are faced. It is necessary to effectively implement supporting policies to profoundly lower production costs for firms, and help firms survive the difficult period, and even gradually transit to normal business operation status.

“…This supports Sharifpour et al (2014), who highlighted that a single latent variable involving the eight items of the BSSS is also effective in explaining risk acceptance for tourists. In addition, the BSSS previously testified to a Western sample (e.g., Sharifpour et al, 2014), thus it potentially contains cultural issues (Chen et al, 2013) related to questions such as "I like wild parties" and "I would love to have new and exciting experiences, even if they are illegal". Despite the fact that some items may conflict with Asian culture, the BSSS Scale by Hoyle et al (2002) has been selected due to its high reliability and brief items (as detailed in Section 4.6.1), and because it is relatively acceptable for an Indonesian sample.…”

Travel risk perceptions, travel intentions and influencing factors: A natural disaster context

Lenggogeni¹

While studies of tourist risk perceptions and travel intentions have focused on terrorism, political instability, and outbreak diseases, limited studies have focused on natural disasters, despite the increased impact of disasters. Such events not only cause physical devastation to a tourist destination, but can affect future travel to the effected destination. Natural disasters can create risks for potential tourists which may influence their travel intentions. Thus understanding these risks and how they influence travel intentions is vital.To date, while abundant research is attempting to understand the effect of disasters on risk perceptions, and its subsequent impact on travel intention, questions remain unanswered.Conceptually research should be conducted using a bottom up approach to understand risk perceptions and the factors which can influence risk perceptions. Researchers agree that risk is a multidimensional construct that is context specific, thus more research is needed in the context of natural disasters rather than relying on studies that have explored other types of risks that may not be relevant. In addition, the domestic tourist as a market has been ignored in past studies, which tend to focus on international tourists. In order to address these gaps, this thesis develops a holistic understanding of risk perceptions and the factors that affect the travel intentions of domestic tourists in a destination vulnerable to natural disasters. Accordingly, there are three research objectives in this thesis. First, a bottom up approach is used to identify disaster specific risk dimensions. Second, to understand the relationships between the dimensions of travel risks, the factors that influence travel risk perception and travel intention. Third, to investigate how the dimensions of risk, and the factors that influence risk perception affect the travel intention of domestic tourists to destinations prone to natural disasters. Hence, a mixed method sequential method approach was applied.Initially 52 respondents completed a semi-structure interview. The results were then verified by 605 respondents in a mall intercept survey. The study area was West Sumatra, Indonesia which is one of the most disaster prone destinations in the world, yet it is also considered one of top ten domestic tourist destinations in Indonesia. The thematic analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and Partial least square -Structural equation modelling helped to untangle the complex interrelationships between the risk dimensions, travel intentions and influencing factors.iii Firstly, this thesis uncovered seven dimensions of travel risk in the context of natural disasters. They consist of government preparedness, helplessness, tsunami, feeling trapped, earthquake anxiety, mitigation awareness and mythical beliefs. Many of these risks are consistent with risks found in other context; however two risks (mitigation awareness and mythical beliefs) were also identified. This finding suggests that risk perceptions are context specific ...
