- The Role of Self- and Functional Congruity in Cruising Intentions (2011, background): “Among the few studies concerning destination image and self-image congruity reviewed above, three are research notes (Chon 1992; Litvin and Goh 2002; Kastenholz 2004), one is a conference paper (Goh and Litvin 2000), and only two are full papers (Sirgy and Su 2000; Beerli, Meneses, and Gil 2007), in”
- Self-congruity theory in consumer behavior: A little history (2018, unknown): “…behavior such as brand evaluation and brand choice (e.g. Beerli, Meneses, & Gil, 2007; Boksberger et al., 2011; Chon, 1990, 1992; Chon & Olsen, 1991; Hosany, 2012; Hosany & Martin, 2012; Hung & Petrick, 2011; Kastenholz, 2004; Litvin & Goh, 2002; Litvin & Kar, 2003; Üner & Armutlu, 2012).”
- Self-congruence, functional congruence, and destination choice (2013, unknown): “Studies relating to tourism destinations provide evidence of consumption stereotyping (Beerli, Meneses and Gil, 2007; Chon and Olsen, 1991; Litvin and Goh, 2002; Todd, 2001).”
- Testing the effects of congruity, travel constraints, and self-efficacy on travel intentions: An alternative decision-making model (2012, background): “The studies of tourism and congruity suggested that self-congruity and/or functional congruity have positive influence on customer satisfaction (Chon, 1992), pre-trip visitation interest and purchase proclivity (Goh & Litvin, 2000; Litvin & Goh, 2002), and travel intentions (Kastenholz, 2004).”
- Self-Congruity Theory: To What Extent Does It Hold in Tourism? (2011, methodology): “In one case (Litvin and Goh 2002), congruity was calculated by simply comparing the individual score and the destination score, and in the other (Beerli, Meneses, and Gil 2007), congruity was determined by calculating the squared difference between the respondents’ self-assessments and their…”
- Effects of brand personality, self-congruity and functional congruity on hotel brand loyalty (2019, background): “Moreover, SC has been studied widely in tourism discipline and considered as a valid theory in explaining tourist behaviors (Litvin & Goh, 2002; Sirgy & Su, 2000).”
- Destination loyalty as explained through self-congruity, emotional solidarity, and travel satisfaction (2020, background): “In fact, a common finding is that selfcongruity with a destination is positively associated with intentions to (re)visit or recommend the destination, validating the use of the theory across multiple tourism contexts (e.g., Beerli, Meneses, & Gil, 2007; Litvin & Goh, 2002; Usakli & Baloglu, 2011).”
- Predicting Wine Tourism Intention: Destination Image and Self-congruity (2014, background): “This paper has identified that the effect of self-congruity on tourists’ intention to visit a destination deserves more attention in the tourism literature (Chon, 1992; Litvin & Goh, 2002; Sirgy & Su, 2000).”
- Appraisal Determinants of Tourist Emotional Responses (2012, background): “Similarly, tourism literatures recognize the relevance of self-image congruence in understanding tourist behaviors (e.g., Sirgy and Su 2000; Litvin, Goh, and Goldsmith 2001; Litvin and Goh 2002; Beerli, Meneses, and Gil 2007).”
- Self-image congruence in consumer behavior (2012, background): “Litvin and Goh (2002) report contradictory results and question whether self-congruity theory is an effective tool for tourismmarketers.”
