Abstract

Risk perception research plays a critical role in tourism studies, given its ability to shape the appeal and viability of destinations. There has been a surge in research on tourism risk perception and travel-related behaviors due to the pandemic. This context offers a unique opportunity to review and aggregate risk perception studies to identify behavior patterns and changes. Accordingly, this study adopted the PSALSAR framework to analyze these studies, which consists of a synthesized literature review and a meta-analysis of tests involving competing theoretical models. The synthesis revealed the various behavioral outcomes and diverse theoretical backgrounds included in the sample. Our meta-analysis uncovered the model with an optimal fit and delineated the relationships among tourists' cognitive and affective risk perceptions, efficacy beliefs, and behavior across different stages. This study offers theoretical and empirical insights into the effects of tourists' risk perception attitude variables. Findings can inform more effective tourism crisis management strategies for destination management and marketing.

全球大流行病期间风险认知和旅行相关行为的最优拟合模型

风险认知研究在旅游研究中发挥着至关重要的作用，因为它能够影响旅游目的地的吸引力和可行性。受大流行病影响，有关旅游风险认知和旅游相关行为的研究激增。这一背景为回顾和汇总风险认知研究提供了一个独特的机会，以确定行为模式和变化。因此，本研究采用了 PSALSAR 框架来分析这些研究，该框架包括文献综述和涉及相互竞争的理论模型的元分析测试。综述揭示了样本中的各种行为结果和不同的理论背景。我们的荟萃分析发现了最佳拟合模型，并勾勒出游客在不同阶段的认知和情感风险感知、效能信念和行为之间的关系。本研究为游客风险认知态度变量的影响提供了理论和实证见解。研究结果可为目的地管理和营销提供更有效的旅游危机管理策略。
