“…Some studies that have applied systematic measurement scales have shown mixed empirical findings for the attitude-WTP association [3,4,6,33]. The findings of Cooper et al [3] contradicted the significant NEP-WTP relationship that was reported by Kotchen and Reiling [4], while Choi and Fielding [6] offered a new insight into a more complex nature of this relationship in the context of discrete choice models. In relation to cultural attitudes specifically, Choi [33] found that attitudinal traits that were measured using the CW scale might not have significant explanatory power for some cultural WTP estimates.…”

“…As shown in Choi and Fielding [6], random parameter logit models allow researchers to examine whether particular characteristics variables (e.g., CW factors) are linked to significant preference heterogeneity for a particular choice attribute. To do this, the present study applied the sequential integration approach, where latent variables are estimated, before their factor scores for individual respondents are used for interaction terms with random parameter estimates:…”

“…As a consequence of the interactions, mean parameter estimates of the CUL attribute became significant, with a negative sign in Models B and C. As interaction terms were engaged as parts of the models, however, mean values for the CUL parameters (CUL') need to be recalculated using the following equation [6,63]:…”

“…The CW-WTP association is depicted as a linear line in this paper. Alternatively, a segmentation-based approach can be applied to capture a full spectrum of the attitude-WTP relationship [6]. Given the measured impacts from the source variables for the observed preference heterogeneity, as reported in Table 7, conservation values of cultural heritage sites can then be calculated using Equation (4).…”

“…Value estimates might not be reliable or valid if this issue is not properly treated [1,2]. One way to address population heterogeneity is to incorporate attitudinal characteristics of respondents as a part of standard economic models [3][4][5][6][7][8]. This incorporation is necessary, as researchers are eager to gain more insights into how respondents engage in the choice processes and to improve the explanatory power of choice models [7,[9][10][11].…”

There has been little attention paid to the systematic measurement issue of general attitudes toward human-culture relationships. This paper applied the Cultural Worldview (CW) scale that was developed by Choi et al. in 2007 (published in the Journal of Cultural Economics), and investigated its dimensionality and relationship with willingness to pay (WTP) for cultural heritage protection through a sequential integration between latent variables and valuation models. A case study of 997 Korean respondents was employed to examine conservation values of cultural heritage sites using discrete choice models. Confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated that this scale can be used either as a single second-order factor or four correlated factors. A more parsimonious version of the CW scale with twelve items is endorsed in this paper and the results also confirm that it is valid for use with non-Western nations. The findings support a significant attitude-WTP relationship; there was a significant role of the CW scale that reveals unobserved factors in valuation models.

This study explores people's perceptions of marine ecosystem services and sustainable coastal zone management. More specifically, it investigates the relationship between respondents' attitudes and motives for placing economic value on the coastal zone, expressing their intention to pay for coastal zone quality improvement. Primary data were obtained from a sample of 468 people living on the coastline of the Pagasitikos Gulf. Respondents' attitude was measured using questions that include issues related to the marine ecosystem. Our empirical findings reveal that ‘people's responsibility’ and respondents' perception of ‘endangered species’ are the main factors explaining their attitude towards the marine environment. In a second stage, we explore the relationship between people's intention to pay for coastal zone quality improvement in the region and ‘people's responsibility’.
