摘要我们回顾了一些理论的动机,和类型学的动机,在心理学理论和应用到各种具体的情况下,包括购物,饮食,休闲,旅游和旅行。一个反复出现的主题是外在动机(工具性、功利性、功能性)和内在动机(自利性、享乐性、经验性)之间的区别。我们认为,旅行是一种内在动机适用的行为,只关注旅行的外在动机会大大低估旅行需求,并抵制试图减少旅行需求的政策或技术(值得注意的是,信息和通信技术)预计将(部分)我们提供了一些改进标准旅游调查的建议,以帮助获得更充分地探索内在动机所需的数据。随着更好的数据变得可用,旅行行为模型可以被改进,以部分解释这种动机。我们相信,由此产生的见解将是非常有价值的政策制定者,规划者和行为学者。
Abstract We review a number of theories of motivation, and typologies of motivations, in psychological theory and in application to a variety of specific contexts, including shopping, eating, leisure, tourism, and travel. A recurring theme is the distinction between extrinsic (instrumental, utilitarian, functional) and intrinsic (autotelic, hedonic, experiential) motivations. We suggest that travel is a behavior to which intrinsic motivations apply, and that focusing exclusively on the extrinsic motivations to travel runs the risk of substantially underestimating the demand for travel, and the resistance to policies attempting to reduce it or to technologies (notably, information and communication technologies) expected to (partly) replace it. We offer a number of suggestions for improving standard travel surveys to help obtain the data needed to explore intrinsic motivations more fully. As better data become available, travel behavior models can be refined to partly account for such motivations. We believe that the resulting insights will be extremely valuable to policy-makers, planners, and behavioral scholars.
