From attitude to satisfaction: introducing the travel mode choice cycle (2021, unknown): “…also demonstrated e ﬀ ects from mode-speci ﬁ c attitudes on satisfaction with trips using these modes, claiming that it is not only the travel mode itself that a ﬀ ects travel satisfaction, but whether or not attitudes are positive towards the chosen mode (e.g. De Vos, 2018; Ye & Titheridge, 2017).”
Travel and cognitive dissonance (2020, background): “De Vos (2018) indicates that about half of the respondents used a non-preferred travel mode to reach their most-recent leisure activity.”
Satisfaction-induced travel behaviour (2019, methodology): “By applying this method, De Vos (2018) found that (for car users, public transport users, cyclists and pedestrians) travel satisfaction levels of consonant mode users are similar with consonants using other modes, while mostly significantly higher compared to dissonants using that particular mode.”
Impacts of the built environment and travel behaviour on attitudes: Theories underpinning the reverse causality hypothesis (2019, background): “Kroesen et al. (2017) found that people who do not travel with a favoured travel mode are more likely to change their attitudes than their behaviour, while De Vos (2018) found that travel mode dissonance negatively affects travel satisfaction.”
