“…While several definitions of seniors exist, the current study adopted a minimum age of 60 years for senior tourists. This rationale is concordant with the previous studies (Guzman et al, 2019;Huber, 2019) and aligned with the Malaysian Government, which describes seniors as 60 years old and above (MyGovernment, 2022). Additionally, Malaysia shows great potential as a research context mainly because the Malaysian Airbnb community is among the largest Airbnb communities in Southeast Asia, and it has also been predicted that Malaysia will become an ageing nation by 2050 with a 15% population of senior citizens (The Edge Markets, 2022).…”

“…The tourism sector considers senior travellers a vibrant and critical market segment with a competitive advantage (Nicolau et al , 2019). Hence, this warranted comprehensive research to investigate this cohort regarding their accommodation preference (Guzman et al , 2019), as a noticeable void remains in understanding what motivates senior tourists towards sharing economy accommodation. This is particularly relevant in the context of an ageing population or nation, where understanding their motivations becomes even more crucial (Pezeshki et al , 2019).…”

Purpose Senior tourist is a salient segment of the tourism sector. This segment reflects a robust ageing population with discretionary income and an appetite for tourism activities. However, to date, there has been a paucity of empirical insight on how the combination of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations may influence senior tourists’ connectedness and booking intentions towards home-sharing accommodation. Thus, this study aims to investigate how senior tourists’ curiosity and social interaction may influence their connectedness towards Airbnb and subsequently booking intention. Design/methodology/approach A conceptual model was developed and tested using partial least squares structural equation modelling to analyse data collected from a sample of 195 senior tourists in Malaysia. Findings The results showed that intrinsic (curiosity) and extrinsic (social interaction) motivations positively influence senior tourists’ connectedness towards platform accommodation, which in turn positively affects the outcome variable. Furthermore, this study found that a sense of connectedness is crucial in linking motivators and booking intentions. Research limitations/implications This research was carried out in Malaysia; therefore, cross-national studies are encouraged to establish whether the findings described in this study can be extrapolated to other cultures/countries. Practical implications From a practitioner’s perspective, this study reinforces the need to address and understand senior tourists’ curiosity and how it may invoke their connectedness and behavioural actions towards the Airbnb platform. More importantly, this study gives home-sharing practitioners practical leverage on how combined intrinsic and extrinsic motivations may deduce senior tourists’ booking intentions. Originality/value The study contributes to the literature on senior tourism and the home-sharing sector by demonstrating the role of curiosity and social interaction in shaping senior tourists’ connectedness towards Airbnb and behavioural intentions.

“…A two-part instrument was utilized to delineate detainees’ experiences in their engagement of SHB in custody. The first part, the robotfoto (Dutch term referring to the cartographic sketch of the participants) (Cana et al, 2005 as cited by de Guzman et al, 2019), was utilized to obtain the pen profile of the participants, including age, sex, civil status, etc. The second part was a semi-structured interview consisting of open-ended questions.…”

This grounded theory exploration aims to advance a theory that explains the development of self harming behavior (SHB) among a select group of Filipino jail detainees. Using the Classical Glaserian Grounded Theory procedure, a novel process that describes Filipino Detainees’ Phases of Self Harming Behavior (gravitational, transformational, interventional and dispositional) emerged. Findings from this inquiry may serve as bases for policy-making and intervention programs that inform the triggers and preventative factors associated with SHB in the penal setting. These may further raise awareness of forensic mental health and human rights violations among detainees in flawed justice systems in low-to-middle income countries (LMICs).

“…We utilized a two-part instrument to gather the needed data. First, a robotfoto (a Dutch term which refers to the cartographic sketch of the participants) (Cana et al, 2005 as cited by de Guzman et al, 2019) was provided to determine the baseline profile of the detainees as follows: age, sex, civil status, etc. The second part comprised a semi-structured interview consisting of open-ended questions based on a set of a priori codes supporting the factors surrounding SHB identified in the literature.…”

Self-harming behavior (SHB) has become a significant health issue among several populations, including adolescents, traumatized individuals, and persons deprived of liberty. Undoubtedly, incarceration takes a toll on inmates’ mental health due to several stressful experiences while in custody. These taxing events make them vulnerable to maladaptive coping strategies, such as SHB. To date, many studies on this behavior have focused on high-income countries. Research has not explored much on this behavior among inmates in developing countries such as the Philippines. This phenomenological inquiry aims to characterize the experiences of select older male Filipino detainees engaged in SHB. Through vertical and horizontal analyses of the narratives shared, this study conceptualized the Self-Harming Behavior of Older Filipino Detainees as Tension and Compression. This model shows the forces that either pull or push the detainees to engage in self-injurious acts. Specifically, the seven themes surfaced: life dispositions, jail ecology, emotional baggage, physically and chemically-induced self-harming behavior, consequences, coping strategies, and cognizance. Findings from this inquiry may necessitate the provision of adequate and comprehensive prevention and intervention services for the self-harmers in jail, which are geared toward implementing a thorough psychological evaluation and promoting sound psychological well-being.
