The Role of Mood on Tourism Product Evaluations

Sentiment, mood and outbound tourism demand

“…Gnoth et al (2000) conduct a survey in Austria, New Zealand and South Africa to find that emotions and mood have an impact on the motivations of people to travel. In addition, Sirakaya et al (2004) examine the role of mood in the evaluation of tourism products by cruise passengers, observing that people in bad mood had lower levels of satisfaction. Bigne and Andreu (2004) outline the role of emotions in tourist segmentation to report that tourists in Spain who visited cultural attractions exhibited higher levels of satisfaction, loyalty and willingness to spend.…”

“…The role of mood and sentiment in individuals' spending behavior has been widely examined in the economics and psychology literature (Nofsinger, 2005;Weber & Johnson, 2009) and is acknowledged as an important determinant of many economic aspects, ranging from consumer expenditure (Carroll, Fuhrer, & Wilcox, 1994;Ludvigson, 2004) to stock market returns (Baker & Wurgler, 2006). Tourism studies offer some evidence that consumer sentiment and mood relate to national tourism demand (Yap & Allen, 2011) and the way tourists evaluate hospitality services (Sirakaya, Petrick, & Choi, 2004). Motivated by this line of research, this paper investigates the spillover effects of shocks to mood and sentiment on US outbound tourism to all destinations.…”

Analyzing tourists' satisfaction: A multivariate ordered probit approach

“…Kozak (2001a) and Yu and Goulden (2006) make the same use of ordinal data as do Tonge and Moore (2007). Many studies employ structural equation models, which include factor analysis, for analyzing tourist satisfaction (see, for example, Pizam et al, 1978, and more recent studies by Sirakaya et al, 2004;Thompson and Schofield, 2007;and Silvestre et al, 2008). Further, Qu and Ping (1999) Carlo (MCMC) method has become popular for the estimation of the ordered probit model after Albert and Chib's (1993) seminal work, which utilizes latent variable representation.…”

Research on the Relationships among Macau Gambling Tourists’ Novelty, Hedonics, Perceived Value and Revisit Willingness

“…Every observed variable is matched with 3 scale items so this section contains 9 scale items. These 9 scale items are used to measure Macau gaming tourists' hedonics, which are adopted primarily from the literature Sirakaya, Petrick and Choi [27], Bigne´et al [28], Tian-Cole, Crompton, and Willson [29]. And they are assessed by a seven-point Likert scale as before.…”

“…Although this study adopted random systematic sampling, the respondents were mostly younger people (55.56% were aged [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30], and this is perhaps because the survey was administered during a relatively short period in summer. Due to this, the results of this research should be generalized with caution, and it is suggested that future studies lengthen the sampling time (e.g.…”
