Survey Instrument
The survey instrument was organized according to the 10 observed constructs: formative referents, mass media referents, interpersonal referents, normative referents, emotional value, novelty value, value for money, quality, attitude, and intention. Appendix A presents the items used to measure each construct in the survey. Respondents were asked their level of agreement for each item based on a seven-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). Demographic questions were also included. To ensure a common understanding of key terms, respondents were told that the term holiday refers to “overnight travel away from home for the purpose of recreation and leisure” and that “mass media” refers to “print (magazine, newspapers, billboards), broadcast (radio and television), and electronic media (the Internet).” All items were adapted from existing scales and informed by the focus group analy- sis as well as the context of the study. The development of these items and resulting scales is described below.
