• Negative emotions in tourism: a meaningful analysis (2019, background): “However, the role of emotions in contexts in which tourist consumers seek ‘pain’ through the experience of negative emotions is underexplored in tourism literature (e.g. Hosany & Gilbert, 2010; Mitas et al., 2012).”
• How Do We Feel on Vacation? A Closer Look at How Emotions Change over the Course of a Trip (2013, background): “While tourists’ moods (e.g., Nawijn 2010; Van Tilburg et al. 1996) and emotions (e.g., Coghlan and Pearce 2010; Nawijn 2011a; Nawijn et al. 2010) have been studied, Mitas et al. (2012) suggest that emotions are the most relevant component of affect to the travel industry.”
• The impact of tourism activity type on emotion and storytelling: The moderating roles of travel companion presence and relative ability (2020, unknown): “…of memorable tourism experiences (Tung & Ritchie, 2011), elicit positive intentions and behaviors towards a destination (Su & Hsu, 2013; Su, Huang, & Pearce, 2018; Su & Swanson, 2017), and can act as an important motivation for participating in leisure travel (Mitas, Yarnal, Adams, & Nilam, 2012).”
• Changes in emotions and their interactions with personality in a vacation context (2014, background): “In order to understand the role of emotions in a tourism setting and establish the external validity of emotion scales, we need to focus on specific emotions and describe and explain the causes and outcomes that differentiate between them (Mitas et al., 2012a).”
• Emotions in Tourism: Theoretical Designs, Measurements, Analytics, and Interpretations (2020, result): “Other studies (e.g., Lin et al. 2014; Mitas and Bastiaansen 2018; Mitas et al. 2012; Nawijn et al. 2013) also establish that individuals’ self-reported emotions vary in type and intensity throughout the tourism experience.”
