Abstract

Researchers are making increasing use of an evolutionary perspective to understand the behaviors of tourists and residents, yet the implications of our evolved psychological mechanisms for classrooms and education remain underexplored. The purpose of this research is therefore to highlight and analyze the vast untapped potential of evolutionary psychology for tourism and hospitality education. The authors provide researchers and educators with a guide to evolutionary psychology as well as demonstrate the utility of an evolutionary perspective through three education cases. These three applications are complemented by a process model that illustrates how to use and test evolutionary theory in tourism and hospitality education empirically. We conclude by providing future research avenues with the aim to advance tourism and hospitality education.

课堂上的达尔文：将进化论观点融入旅游和酒店教育

研究人员越来越多地使用进化的观点来理解游客和居民的行为，然而我们进化的心理机制对课堂和教育的影响仍然没有得到充分的探索。因此，本研究的目的是强调和分析进化心理学在旅游和酒店教育方面的巨大潜力。作者为研究人员和教育工作者提供了进化心理学的指南，并通过三个教育案例展示了进化视角的实用性。这三个应用是由一个过程模型补充说明如何使用和检验进化论在旅游和酒店教育经验。最后，我们提供了未来的研究途径，旨在促进旅游和酒店教育。

期刊介绍： The Annals of Tourism Research is a scholarly journal that focuses on academic perspectives related to tourism. The journal defines tourism as a global economic activity that involves travel behavior, management and marketing activities of service industries catering to consumer demand, the effects of tourism on communities, and policy and governance at local, national, and international levels. While the journal aims to strike a balance between theory and application, its primary focus is on developing theoretical constructs that bridge the gap between business and the social and behavioral sciences. The disciplinary areas covered in the journal include, but are not limited to, service industries management, marketing science, consumer marketing, decision-making and behavior, business ethics, economics and forecasting, environment, geography and development, education and knowledge development, political science and administration, consumer-focused psychology, and anthropology and sociology.
