The effect of the perceived risk on the adoption of the sharing economy in the tourism industry: The case of Airbnb

A risk perception scale for travel to a crisis epicentre: visiting Wuhan after COVID-19

“…Environmental research related to air pollution has favoured the use of functional risks in addition to the more obvious physical and health ones (Li et al, 2015;Zhang et al, 2017). Similarly, whilst research related to the sharing economy has used risk to privacy in addition to physical, financial and performance risks (Yi et al, 2020), research related to younger generations has often investigated their risk perceptions related to cruise ships, infection outbreaks, sexually-transmitted diseases, motion sickness, terrorism, and crime (Le & Arcodia, 2018).…”

For instance, a study by Rundmo and Nordfjaern (2017) showed that risk perception was less conceptual than objectcentred and recommended that how risk was perceived should be taken into consideration to a larger extent when measuring travel risk perceptions.…”

“…Fuchs et al, 2013) and so have field experiments (Brun et al, 2011). Studies have often investigated risk perceptions using dimension recognition and factor selection as key methods of data analysis (Chen et al, 2009;Floyd et al, 2004;Xu et al, 2013), though regression analysis (Chai et al, 2011;Li, 2008), correlation analysis (Zhang, 2009), and structural equation modelling (Chien et al, 2017;Reisinger & Mavondo, 2005;Yi et al, 2020) have also been used by scholars to investigate relationships between tourist risk perceptions and related variables. Studies seeking to elicit differences in risk perceptions among different groups of tourists have often used cross tabulation analysis (Fuchs & Reichel, 2011), chi-square tests (Fuchs & Reichel, 2011), t-tests (Cong et al, 2017), one-way ANOVAs (Cong et al, 2017;Xu et al, 2013) and MANOVAs (Lepp & Gibson, 2003;Kim et al, 2016).…”
