development in the community. Eight of these questions were
adapted from Perdue et al.’s (1990) study on resident support for
tourism development. Each statement was situated on a five-point
scale as recommended by Maddox (1985), with 1 representing
a response of ‘‘strongly disagree’’ and 5 representing ‘‘strongly
agree.’’ To discover if differences existed, an ANOVA test was conducted
for each question, followed by a Scheffe test to determine
which groups were different.
