“…Authenticity-related variables (knowledge, perception of authenticity, and information search behavior) have important associations with slow tourists' intention in tourists' decision-making processes (Meng and Choi 2016b). Meng and Choi (2016a) extended the theory of planned behavior by incorporating authentic awareness to elucidate the development of behavioral intention in slow tourists. Based on post-visit online reviews, Mkono (2013) highlights the importance of tourists' authentic experience with cultural objects as well as active participation.…”

Although virtual reality (VR) is an emerging technology in tourism, little research has been conducted on what factors make consumers visit destinations presented by VR. To address this gap in the literature, this study developed a theoretical framework including authentic experience, cognitive and affective responses, attachment, and visit intention with VR tourism using a stimulus-organism-response (SOR) theory. The results revealed significant impacts of authentic experience on cognitive and affective responses, indicating that authentic experience is an important factor in VR tourism. The study identified cognitive and affective responses as significant mediators in predicting attachment and visit intention. The results demonstrated that the intention to visit places shown in VR tourism was influenced by attachment to VR. Cognitive response had a stronger influence than affective response on the intention to visit a destination in VR. This study sheds light on why potential tourists visit destinations shown in VR.

“…The individual-level adoption of e-commerce has been a focus of research in the last decade. In this context the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB: [3]) which hypothesizes that an individual's intention to perform the behavior in question is a determinant of that behavior -has been widely employed for predicting behavior in many settings [25], [36], [54], and particularly for e-commerce intentions in SMEs [25], [60], [78], [98]. Immersed in this theory, and according to Ajzen [3], personality traits play a significant role in explaining human behavior.…”

The aim of this paper is to study differences in the adoption of e-commerce associated with the level of managers/owners' innovativeness. The background utilized to estimate the respondents' favorable reception of e-commerce is a model based on the Theory of Planned Behavior, which has been extended to include perceived drivers and obstacles as antecedents of attitude toward e-commerce acceptance. Small and medium enterprises in Chile participated in the study. A Partial Least Squares multi-group test was employed to note differences between groups. The main conclusions of the study are: (1) the level of managers/owners' innovativeness differentiates between adopters and non-adopters of e-commerce of small and medium enterprises in Chile; (2) the Theory of Planned Behavior has been successfully used to explain the process of adoption of e-commerce among Chilean managers/owners; (3) there are significant relationships between both drivers and obstacles and attitude toward using e-commerce; (4) a strong and significant relationship exists between attitude and intention to use e-commerce. Results can be used by small and medium enterprises in developing countries to boost e-commerce adoption.

“…The TPB has become one of the most commonly used conceptual frameworks for predicting human behaviors [9,10]. Many studies have employed the TPB to predict consumers' behaviors in hospitality and tourism [13,15,17,28,29]. Further, the inclusion of health belief variables to the TPB has been argued to increase its explanatory power [16].…”

“…In an examination of environmentally friendly restaurants, Jang et al [17] found that the addition of collectivism, consumer effectiveness, and environmental concerns to the TPB (i.e., an ETPB) effectively increased the understanding of customers' behavioral intentions. Similarly, Meng and Choi [13] advocated that the incorporation of authentic perception into the TPB significantly contributed to the understanding of people's intentions to participate in slow travel. Subsequently, this research assumes that the proposed ETPB helps explain SLF visitor behaviors.…”

“…The theory of planned behavior (TPB) is one of the most prominent theoretical frameworks for explaining behaviors across multiple disciplines [9,10]. Including additional constructs to create extended versions of the TPB (ETPB) has consistently been shown to better explain human behavior related to tourism and festivals [11][12][13]. In particular, Ajzen [9] suggested that other variables could be incorporated in the TPB to increase the prediction and the understanding of human behaviors, and numerous studies have successfully done so.…”

Wellness Pursuit and Slow Life Seeking Behaviors: Moderating Role of Festival Attachment

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Slow lifestyles have become a way for individuals to reduce the amount of stress in their lives. Moreover, along with wellness and slow food, slow life seeking is emerging as an area of study, though little research has been studied at Slow Life Festivals (SLFs) associated with consumers’ wellness pursuits, slow life seeking, and perceptions of slow food. To address this gap, this study examined visitors’ decision-making processes using an extended theory of planned behavior (ETPB) by incorporating wellness pursuit, slow life seeking, and perceptions of slow food at an SLF. Thus, this study developed a theoretically comprehensive framework by applying field survey. Results revealed significant impacts of visitors’ wellness pursuits and slow life seeking on their decision-making, indicating that wellness and slow life were important factors to consider for SLF management. The research further identified the perception of slow food as a mediator in predicting behavioral intentions. Results further demonstrated a strong relationship between wellness pursuit and perception of slow food for highly attached visitors while revealing a significant relationship between slow life seeking and perception of slow food for less attached visitors. Consequently, this study shed significant light on our understanding of why visitors intend to revisit SLFs.
