Abstract

Dr. Richard Nisbett’s seminal publication appropriately titled The Geography of Thought has generated considerable scientific interest relative to the social as well as cognitive processes that underlie information processing and assimilation. The encapsulation of Nisbett’s body of research is best summarized as how people process information directly impacts what they think. Furthermore, the application of social psychology research pertaining to ontological impact upon argument and reasoning analysis is lacking in the hospitality literature. Testing Nisbett’s premise using hospitality and tourism students in China, Korea, Colombia, and the United States discovered a presence of geographical differences in information processing (decoding) of argument and reasoning statements although within group variances in information analysis was also detected. The implication is that a deeper understanding of how cognitive, sociocultural, individual, situational factors influence decision making is needed in hospitality and tourism.

关于隐性本体论的研究笔记:尼斯贝特的思想前提地理学在酒店与旅游专业学生中的应用

理查德·尼斯贝特博士的开创性出版物《思想的地理》(The Geography of Thought)恰如其分地引起了科学界对社会和认知过程的极大兴趣，这些过程是信息处理和同化的基础。尼斯贝特的研究可以概括为:人们处理信息的方式直接影响他们的想法。此外，关于本体论对论证和推理分析的影响的社会心理学研究的应用在酒店文献中是缺乏的。利用中国、韩国、哥伦比亚和美国的酒店和旅游专业学生对Nisbett的假设进行测试，发现在论证和推理陈述的信息处理(解码)中存在地理差异，尽管在信息分析中也发现了组内差异。这意味着酒店业和旅游业需要更深入地了解认知、社会文化、个人和情境因素如何影响决策。

期刊介绍： Tourism, Culture & Communication is the longest established international refereed journal that is dedicated to the cultural dimensions of tourism. The editors adopt a purposefully broad scope that welcomes readers and contributors from diverse disciplines and who are receptive in a wide variety of research methods. While potential cultural issues and identities are unlimited, there is a requirement that their consideration should relate to the tourism and hospitality domain. Tourism, Culture & Communication provides readers with multidisciplinary perspectives that consider topics and fields extending beyond national and indigenous cultures as they are traditionally understood and recognized. Coverage may extend to issues such as cultural dimensions of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), gender and tourism, managing tourists with disabilities, sport tourism, or age-specific tourism. Contributions that draw upon the communications literature to explain the tourism phenomenon are also particularly welcome. Beyond the focus on culture and communications, the editors recognize the important interrelationships with economies, society, politics, and the environment. The journal publishes high-quality research and applies a double-blind refereeing process. Tourism, Culture & Communication consists of main articles, major thematic reviews, position papers on theory and practice, and substantive case studies. A reports section covers specific initiatives and projects, “hot topics,” work-in-progress, and critical reviews.
