Self-image congruence in consumer behavior (2012, methodology): “Among the studies identified, three address post-consumptionvariables (satisfaction, intention to return and intention to recommend) (Chon, 1992; Kastenholz, 2004; Litvin and Kar, 2003) and two examine the relationship between self-image congruence and pre-travel variables (motivation to visit and…”
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 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).”
The Impact of Self-Congruity and Evaluation of the Place on WOM: Perspectives of Tourism Destination Residents (2021, background): “These narratives further contribute to building the destination’s identity, cultivating its image to potential tourists (Kastenholz 2004).”
Destination image and tourist loyalty: A meta-analysis (2014, background): “The destination’s consistency with a person’s actual or ideal self-image influences pre-visit preferences (e.g. destination choice, Litvin & Goh, 2002) and post-visit intentions (e.g. satisfaction, revisit intention, intention to recommend, Kastenholz, 2004).”
User-generated-content versus marketing-generated-content: personality and content influence on traveler’s behavior (2018, background): “image and choice (Kastenholz, 2004; Beerli, Meneses, & Gil, 2007; Kiliç & Sop, 2012; Ahn, Ekinci & Li, 2013; V. Kumar, 2016). A study by Ranjbarian and Kia (2010) investigated the role of personality traits (Big Five) on the evaluation of a commercial product (shampoo).”
Self-congruence, functional congruence, and destination choice (2013, background): “For example, destination selfcongruence affects intention to visit, intention to recommend, positive attitudes towards a destination, higher tourist satisfaction, and tourist loyalty (Beerli et al., 2007; Chon, 1992; Chon and Olsen, 1991; Kastenholz, 2004; Litvin and Goh, 2002; Sirgy and Su, 2000).”
Destination Image: A Meta-Analysis of 2000–2007 Research (2010, background): “According to Kastenholz (2004), operationalization of destination-selfcongruity and its effect on destination choice requires further study with respect to different types of self-image, groups of tourists, and previous experience with destination.”
Self-Congruity Theory: To What Extent Does It Hold in Tourism? (2011, methodology): “This call is reinforced by Kastenholz (2004), who, following her empirical study of rural destinations, also questions the relevance of destination self-congruity in predicting tourist behavior.”
