Abstract

Research has often considered the attitudinal and behavioral consequences of social interaction. However, there is a paucity of studies on how the social capital of tourists influences the nature of social interactions. Using a social capital perspective and social learning theory with a phenomenological approach based on two sets of interviews with food tourists, we develop a conceptual framework demonstrating the influence of social capital on tourist social interactions. We find that based on their level of social capital, tourists socialize in four different ways: (1) strengthening sense of belonging; (2) learning and sharing knowledge; (3) spending quality time; and (4) nurturing temporal friendship. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of the study.
美食游客社会互动:社会资本与社会学习视角
研究经常考虑社会互动的态度和行为后果。然而,关于游客社会资本如何影响社会互动性质的研究却很少。本文运用社会资本视角和社会学习理论,结合现象学方法,通过对美食游客的两组访谈,构建了社会资本对游客社会互动影响的概念框架。研究发现,根据旅游者社会资本水平的不同,旅游者的社会化表现为四种不同的方式:(1)强化归属感;(2)学习和分享知识;(3)度过美好时光;(4)培养暂时的友谊。我们讨论了该研究的理论和实践意义。
