“…Since its introduction to community psychology in 1974 (Sarason, ), the construct of sense of community (SOC) has become a key phenomenon of interest for researchers and practitioners from a wide variety of professions and disciplines, including medicine (Anderson, Currie, & Copeland, ; Vora & Kinney, ), nursing (Buck, ; Laing & Moules, ), social work (Itzhaky, Zanbar, Levy, & Schwartz, ; Ohmer, ), public health (Baiden, Den Dunnen, Arku, & Mkandawire, ; Battistich & Hom, ), and sociology (Cope, Currit, Flaherty, & Brown, ; Wilkinson, ), as well as business (Djoko, ; Swimberghe, Darrat, Beal, & Astakhova, ), recreational management (Legg, Wells, & Barile, ), and tourism (Hahm, Breiter, Severt, Wang, & Fjelstul, ), to name only a few. An underlying assumption of much of this work is that social environments may be created or altered to become health‐promoting or motivating for individuals, and people's experience of SOC is vital to that process.…”

Research on sense of community (SOC) has traditionally been approached from a resource perspective. Recently, however, research on the experience of SOC has evolved to include a related but distinct construct of sense of community responsibility (SOC-R), or feelings of accountability for the well-being of a community. This study applied item response theory to examine the psychometric properties of a SOC-R scale used in an evaluation of community-based substance abuse prevention coalitions. Data were collected in 2017 from coalition members (analytic sample = 309) in the northeastern United States. Findings indicate that the scale was reliable, unidimensional, and functioned well, particularly at low and moderate levels of the construct. The addition of two items intended to capture higher levels of the construct improved the scale's functioning at higher levels of SOC-R. The adapted SOC-R scale was also shown to have moderately strong relationships with conceptually relevant variables, including SOC, coalition participation, number of roles performed in the coalition, and engagement in community action activities. These findings provide empirical evidence to support the reliability and validity of the SOC-R scale, and have critical implications for our conceptualization of the SOC construct, its measurement, and for the evaluation of community-based prevention interventions.

Abstract. This paper discusses the development mode of low level exhibition tourism derivatives and the influences on tourism effect. With the development of science and technology, the human activity scope by land and sea gradually extend to the air space and outer space. Over land and sea resources and to carry out economic activities form the agricultural economy, basic industrial economy, Marine economic form. With the development of aviation, aerospace science and technology, human activity is more and more freedom in the air, the ability of development and utilization of air resource is more and more strong, that the scale of the corresponding economic activities and its effect on the human production and living is becoming more and more. This paper conducts the systematic analysis of the corresponding research that will enhance the mode of current tourism condition.

“…Satisfaction is attained when visitors/customers achieve their expectations or find those expectations exceeded (de Rojas & Camarero, 2008). In the context of meetings, conventions, and conferences, satisfaction has been used to examine attendees' evaluation of the event in question (e.g., Bauer, Law, Tse, & Weber, 2008;Hahm, Breiter, Severt, Wang, & Fjelstul, 2016;Kim et al, 2012;Kim, Lee, & Love, 2009;Lee & Back, 2009;Lu & Cai, 2011;Severt, Wang, Chen, & Breiter, 2007;Tanford, Montgomery, & Nelson, 2012). Many studies based on Oliver's (1980) Confirmation/Disconfirmation-Paradigm have compared expectations and perceived performances to measure satisfaction, while others have deferred to overall performance theory (Carneriro et al, 2019).…”

“…According to Churchill and Suprenant (1982), for non-durable goods such as conventions or conferences, the C/D-Paradigm is appropriate. This explains why many studies of convention or conference satisfaction have used a list of attributes (e.g., accessibility, accommodations, food functions, safety and security, general and educational sessions, networking opportunities, career enhancement, educational benefits) to evaluate the performance of the convention and/or destination (e.g., Bauer et al, 2008;Hahm et al, 2016;Kim et al, 2009;Severt et al, 2007). Some researchers have used overall satisfaction to measure convention/conference performance in addition to attributes (e.g., Hahm et al, 2016;Kim et al, 2009;Lu & Cai, 2011).…”

Does the sequence of presentations matter for academic conferences? An application of the peak-end rule in event management In psychology, the peak-end rule has been used to describe the effects of emotional factors on lived experiences. However, it has yet to be examined in the contexts of events and conferences. This study investigated the influence of conference presentation order, excitement following peak experience, previous conference experience, and time since one's last visit on conference satisfaction and loyalty. Although no significant differences in satisfaction and loyalty were found with regard to the order of presentations, previous experience and time since last visit were found to have significant effects on attendees' outcomes. End-of-conference peak experiences exhibited the strongest influence on loyalty.
