Abstract

Introduction: During travel, photos capture beautiful moments and serve as a visual narrative. However, achieving a satisfactory photo in crowded tourist scenes relies on tourists' mutual cooperation and courtesy. This study aims to explore tourists' courteous behavior in photo-taking through normative activation theory.

Methods: Structural equation modeling.

Results: (1) Both social and individual norms positively affect courteous behavior, with individual norms having a greater impact; (2) Impression management motivation mediates the relationship between norms and courtesy; (3) Proactive personality moderates the link between individual norms and impression management but does not affect the link between social norms and impression management.

Discussion: This study expands the application of normative activation and impression management theories and offers practical insights for tourism management to encourage civilized behavior.

社会期望还是自我调节？——游客拍照礼让行为研究

在旅行中，照片捕捉美丽的瞬间，作为一种视觉叙事。然而，在拥挤的旅游场景中，要想拍出令人满意的照片，需要游客的相互配合和礼貌。本研究旨在运用规范激活理论探讨游客拍照时的礼貌行为。方法：结构方程建模。结果：(1)社会规范和个人规范对礼貌行为都有正向影响，其中个人规范的影响更大；(2)印象管理动机在规范与礼貌的关系中起中介作用；(3)主动性人格调节个体规范与印象管理的关系，不影响社会规范与印象管理的关系。讨论：本研究拓展了规范激活和印象管理理论的应用，为旅游管理鼓励文明行为提供了实践见解。

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Psychology is the largest journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the psychological sciences, from clinical research to cognitive science, from perception to consciousness, from imaging studies to human factors, and from animal cognition to social psychology. Field Chief Editor Axel Cleeremans at the Free University of Brussels is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide. The journal publishes the best research across the entire field of psychology. Today, psychological science is becoming increasingly important at all levels of society, from the treatment of clinical disorders to our basic understanding of how the mind works. It is highly interdisciplinary, borrowing questions from philosophy, methods from neuroscience and insights from clinical practice - all in the goal of furthering our grasp of human nature and society, as well as our ability to develop new intervention methods.
