Abstract

This study developed a new version of the Resident Empowerment through Tourism Scale - the RETS 2.0 by integrating two new dimensions of empowerment – economic and environmental empowerment – that the original RETS left off. The RETS 2.0 also abbreviates the original RETS to three items per a construct, reducing response burden, and opening up space for measuring different antecedents and outcomes of empowerment. The RETS 2.0 was empirically tested and validated in the small island destinations of Boa Vista and Sal, Cape Verde following Churchill's (1979) and Rossiter's (2002) three-stage mix-method scale development approach. After demonstrating convergent validity, nomological validity was demonstrated by all dimensions being significantly correlated with support for tourism. However, in the test of predictive validity, only psychological, economic, and environmental empowerment were found to be significant predictors of support for tourism. The RETS 2.0 is proposed as a holistic and parsimonious five-dimension scale that assesses resident's empowerment towards sustainable tourism development.

开发和验证新的居民旅游赋权量表：RETS 2.0

本研究开发了新版居民旅游赋权量表--RETS 2.0，整合了原 RETS 中遗漏的两个新的赋权维度--经济赋权和环境赋权。此外，RETS 2.0 还将原 RETS 量表的每个结构缩减为三个项目，减轻了回答负担，并为测量赋权的不同前因和结果开辟了空间。根据 Churchill（1979 年）和 Rossiter（2002 年）的三阶段混合方法量表开发方法，RETS 2.0 在佛得角的博阿维斯塔和萨尔小岛屿进行了实证测试和验证。在证明了收敛效度之后，又证明了名义效度，即所有维度都与旅游业支持率显著相关。然而，在预测有效性测试中，只有心理、经济和环境赋权被认为是旅游支持的重要预测因素。建议将 RETS 2.0 作为一个全面、简洁的五维度量表，用于评估居民对旅游业可持续发展的赋权情况。
