When the arts are not your cup of tea: Participation frequency and experience in cultural activities

Coen van Bendegom et al.

Summary: The study found that there are differences between frequent and infrequent participants in expressive cultural activities, but no significant differences in their emotional experience of a dramatic performance. This suggests that a dramatic performance experience can be equally emotionally beneficial to both frequent and infrequent attendees.

Emotional Dissonance Among Frontline Hospitality Employees: An Exploratory Study Examining Habituation Theory Using fMRI

Woosik Danny Choi et al.

Summary: This exploratory study analyzed emotional dissonance among frontline hospitality employees using fMRI to observe brain responses to customer incivility, finding significant habituation in the frontline hospitality employees' brain regions of interest. Despite no significant differences in survey data on life/occupational stress between frontline hospitality and nonhospitality employees, the fMRI analysis revealed important distinctions in brain responsiveness.

Emotion Measurement in Tourism Destination Marketing: A Comparative Electroencephalographic and Behavioral Study

Marcel Bastiaansen et al.

Summary: This study recorded emotional responses to destination pictures before and after participants watched a destination TV commercial using electroencephalography (EEG). The results showed that participants who watched the commercial had stronger emotional responses to the pictures after watching compared to before, while no such effect was observed in the control group. There were no significant effects found in the self-report data.

Identification and Influence of Tourism Rituals: Analysis of Eye Movement Recognition of Tourism Images

Da Shi et al.

Summary: This study treats potential Chinese tourists as the research subjects and New Zealand tourism photos as the ritual carriers, exploring how the cognitive outcome of tourism rituals represented by images affects tourists' intention to travel. Through measuring visual parameters and comprehensive classification, the study deepens the theory of ritual tourism, examining whether tourists' perception of rituals can effectively stimulate their motivation to travel.

An Emotional Roller Coaster: Electrophysiological Evidence of Emotional Engagement during a Roller-Coaster Ride with Virtual Reality Add-On

Marcel Bastiaansen et al.

Summary: Emotions play a crucial role in meaningful and memorable tourism experiences. This article explores the feasibility and usefulness of using psychophysiological measurements, specifically skin conductance responses (SCRs), to track the emotional changes of participants during a tourism experience. The findings suggest that VR rides are evaluated more positively than normal rides, and SCR signals are meaningfully related to different ride elements. Overall, psychophysiological measurements offer a new avenue for understanding the development of hospitality, tourism, and leisure experiences over time.

Customer emotion research in hospitality and tourism: conceptualization, measurements, antecedents and consequences

Tuerxunbieke Tuerlan et al.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review of emotion research in hospitality and tourism management, analyzing 178 emotion-related articles published from 2004-2019. Findings show that many studies overlook developments in emotion research and simplify customer emotions as positive or negative, ignoring nuanced differences between discrete emotions with the same valence. Additionally, the borrowed emotion scales from psychology may not fully capture the specific characteristics of the hospitality and tourism context.

Evaluating the Temporal Dynamics of a Structured Experience: Real-Time Skin Conductance and Experience Reconstruction Measures

Wim Strijbosch et al.

Summary: This paper examines the consistency between the lived experience of Structured Experience (SE) and the intended experience by providers through two methods: real-time skin conductance (SC) and experience reconstruction measures (ERMs), revealing a significant association between them, especially stronger in the later sections of the experience. Additionally, SC and ERMs are found to be useful tools for evaluating design interventions and providing valuable feedback for SE providers.

When the parts of the sum are greater than the whole: Assessing the peak-and-end-theory for a heterogeneous, multi-episodic tourism experience

Wim Strijbosch et al.

Summary: Emotions play a crucial role in tourism experiences, with the peak-and-end theory not necessarily applying to heterogeneous and multi-episodic tourism experiences. The combination of electrophysiological measures and experience reconstruction offers new insights into the temporal dynamics of tourism experiences.
