TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated residents' intention to support Muslim tourism (ITSMT) through the lens of residents of non-Islamic countries by integrating the Social Exchange Theory (SET), Emotional Solidarity Framework (ESF) and the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA).
Abstract: ABSTRACT This study investigates residents’ intention to support Muslim tourism (ITSMT) through the lens of residents of non-Islamic countries. By integrating the Social Exchange Theory (SET), Emotional Solidarity Framework (ESF) and the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), our findings confirmed that welcoming nature was the most salient factor to attenuate the negative effect of perceived risk from Islamophobia by South Korean and Americans residents. The fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) suggested the three different configurations that can explain the formation of residents’ intentions. fsQCA also validated the importance of incorporating ESF, SET and TRA into a unified framework.

TL;DR: In this article , a unified approach for examining the links between emotional solidarity, tourism-related stress, local inhabitants' quality of life, and support for sustainable tourism development in a tourism setting was established and confirmed in the present research.
Abstract: Abstract The growth of tourism has an impact on the lives of locals in the area. Using theories of emotional solidarity, bottom-up spillover theory, and social exchange theory, a unified approach for examining the links between emotional solidarity, tourism-related stress, local inhabitants' quality of life, and support for sustainable tourism development in a tourism setting was established and confirmed in the present research. The welcoming nature of local citizens was revealed to have a considerable detrimental impact on their tourism-related stress. The study's findings supported a positive and significant impact of residents' emotional closeness on their quality of life. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that local inhabitants' quality of life had a considerable beneficial impact on their support for sustainable tourism development. Overall, the integrated study model accounted for 27.25 percent of the variation in support for sustainable tourism development. The study's theoretical and practical implications are extensively debated. The study's findings are based on 397 samples of data.

TL;DR: In this paper , a value-attitude-behaviour (VAB) derived model considering three forms of residents' support (i.e. attitudinal, intentional, and behavioural) for tourism was proposed.
Abstract: This research tested a value-attitude-behaviour (VAB) derived model considering three forms of residents’ support (i.e. attitudinal, intentional, and behavioural) for tourism amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The VAB model was formulated based on a merger of emotional solidarity and theory of reasoned action constructs. Data were collected from 545 Manavgat residents between June-October of 2021. The SEM revealed that each of the eight proposed hypotheses was significant; 67% of variance in attitudes towards tourism (AT) was accounted for by welcoming nature (WN); 56% of variance in intention to support tourism (IST) was explained by WN, AT, and subjective norms; 53% of variance in pro-tourism behaviour (PTB) was accounted for by WN and IST; and 54% of variance in involvement in tourism was explained by PTB and IST. Results indicated that residents’ value of tourists (i.e. WN) plays a vital role in support for tourism, and ultimately explains their involvement in tourism.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors compared stressors experienced by residents of three global island destinations of O'ahu, Hawaii, U.S., Falmouth, Jamaica, and São Miguel, Azores, Portugal.
Abstract: Abstract Resident stress has emerged as a problem in many tourism communities. However, little is known about differences in resident stress across diverse destinations. This research gap is addressed by comparing stressors experienced by residents of three global island destinations of O’ahu, Hawaii, U.S., Falmouth, Jamaica, and São Miguel, Azores, Portugal. These three island tourism destinations have diverse tourism types and differing levels of tourism development along the tourism area life cycle (TALC). The ‘Travel Intensity Indices’ (TII) were used to evaluate tourism development inflection points and determine stage of the TALC for each destination. Thematic analysis of open-ended responses about stressors experienced by residents revealed that in the early stages of tourism development, residents experience stress related to physical changes to their community. In later stages of development, residents experience stress related to the presence of tourists in their community. The type of tourism present in the community also played a role in resident stress, with cruise tourism creating a unique set of stressors. The implications of above findings have two sections. Theoretically, examining resident stress in diverse destinations expands the application of stress theory in the tourism context and begins to establish destination level characteristics that influence resident stress. These findings also extend the application of TALC model to the health and wellness of residents’ vis-a-vis the stress they experience. Practically, exploring similarities and differences across these destinations can inform destination developers and managers of the potential stressors that residents may be experiencing that are unique to their level and type of development.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper developed a tourist-host identity risk (THIR) scale and investigated how it shapes the intention of mainland Chinese tourists to revisit Hong Kong, and also investigated the spread of positive word-of-mouth (WoM) by conducting multiple online surveys with mainlanders.
Abstract: Risk perception has been an important construct in understanding tourists’ trip planning. Surprisingly, while tourists’ perceived tourist–host identity risk (THIR) plays an essential role in this process, its effects have been overlooked. Against this backdrop, this study develops a THIR scale and investigates how it shapes the intention of mainland Chinese tourists to revisit Hong Kong, and also investigates the spread of positive word-of-mouth (WoM) by conducting multiple online surveys with mainlanders. The results show that THIR is a uni-dimensional construct which is robustly measured by 12 items. It undermines revisit intention and the spread of positive WoM because of lower emotional solidarity followed by anticipation of unpleasant experience. This negative serial mediation is weaker for people who have a strong Chinese identity and perceive high THIR of an alternative destination (Macao). Meaningful implications are provided for destination marketers.

TL;DR: This article seeks to make theorists and researchers aware of the importance of not using the terms moderator and mediator interchangeably by carefully elaborating the many ways in which moderators and mediators differ, and delineates the conceptual and strategic implications of making use of such distinctions with regard to a wide range of phenomena.
Abstract: In this article, we attempt to distinguish between the properties of moderator and mediator variables at a number of levels. First, we seek to make theorists and researchers aware of the importance of not using the terms moderator and mediator interchangeably by carefully elaborating, both conceptually and strategically, the many ways in which moderators and mediators differ. We then go beyond this largely pedagogical function and delineate the conceptual and strategic implications of making use of such distinctions with regard to a wide range of phenomena, including control and stress, attitudes, and personality traits. We also provide a specific compendium of analytic procedures appropriate for making the most effective use of the moderator and mediator distinction, both separately and in terms of a broader causal system that includes both moderators and mediators.

Abstract: This article examines the adequacy of the “rules of thumb” conventional cutoff criteria and several new alternatives for various fit indexes used to evaluate model fit in practice. Using a 2‐index presentation strategy, which includes using the maximum likelihood (ML)‐based standardized root mean squared residual (SRMR) and supplementing it with either Tucker‐Lewis Index (TLI), Bollen's (1989) Fit Index (BL89), Relative Noncentrality Index (RNI), Comparative Fit Index (CFI), Gamma Hat, McDonald's Centrality Index (Mc), or root mean squared error of approximation (RMSEA), various combinations of cutoff values from selected ranges of cutoff criteria for the ML‐based SRMR and a given supplemental fit index were used to calculate rejection rates for various types of true‐population and misspecified models; that is, models with misspecified factor covariance(s) and models with misspecified factor loading(s). The results suggest that, for the ML method, a cutoff value close to .95 for TLI, BL89, CFI, RNI, and G...

01 Jan 1974TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a detailed theory of psychological stress, building on the concepts of cognitive appraisal and coping, which have become major themes of theory and investigation in psychology.
Abstract: Here is a monumental work that continues in the tradition pioneered by co-author Richard Lazarus in his classic book Psychological Stress and the Coping Process. Dr. Lazarus and his collaborator, Dr. Susan Folkman, present here a detailed theory of psychological stress, building on the concepts of cognitive appraisal and coping which have become major themes of theory and investigation. As an integrative theoretical analysis, this volume pulls together two decades of research and thought on issues in behavioral medicine, emotion, stress management, treatment, and life span development. A selective review of the most pertinent literature is included in each chapter. The total reference listing for the book extends to 60 pages. This work is necessarily multidisciplinary, reflecting the many dimensions of stress-related problems and their situation within a complex social context. While the emphasis is on psychological aspects of stress, the book is oriented towards professionals in various disciplines, as well as advanced students and educated laypersons. The intended audience ranges from psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, nurses, and social workers to sociologists, anthropologists, medical researchers, and physiologists.

Abstract: In this article, we provide guidance for substantive researchers on the use of structural equation modeling in practice for theory testing and development. We present a comprehensive, two-step modeling approach that employs a series of nested models and sequential chi-square difference tests. We discuss the comparative advantages of this approach over a one-step approach. Considerations in specification, assessment of fit, and respecification of measurement models using confirmatory factor analysis are reviewed. As background to the two-step approach, the distinction between exploratory and confirmatory analysis, the distinction between complementary approaches for theory testing versus predictive application, and some developments in estimation methods also are discussed.

TL;DR: The Perceived Stress Scale showed adequate reliability and, as predicted, was correlated with life-event scores, depressive and physical symptomatology, utilization of health services, social anxiety, and smoking-reduction maintenance and was a better predictor of the outcome in question than were life- event scores.
Abstract: This paper presents evidence from three samples, two of college students and one of participants in a community smoking-cessation program, for the reliability and validity of a 14-item instrument, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), designed to measure the degree to which situations in one's life are appraised as stressful. The PSS showed adequate reliability and, as predicted, was correlated with life-event scores, depressive and physical symptomatology, utilization of health services, social anxiety, and smoking-reduction maintenance. In all comparisons, the PSS was a better predictor of the outcome in question than were life-event scores. When compared to a depressive symptomatology scale, the PSS was found to measure a different and independently predictive construct. Additional data indicate adequate reliability and validity of a four-item version of the PSS for telephone interviews. The PSS is suggested for examining the role of nonspecific appraised stress in the etiology of disease and behavioral disorders and as an outcome measure of experienced levels of stress.
