Self-identification with a heritage tourism site, visitors’ engagement and destination loyalty: the mediating effects of overall satisfaction (2019, background): “A match fit between the self-concept and the destination is likely to engender positive outcomes (Sirgy & Su, 2000).”
Self-Congruity Theory: To What Extent Does It Hold in Tourism? (2011, background): “The numerous propositions from Sirgy and Su (2000) detail the multiple factors they believe determine both of the above types of congruity and the relationships between the constructs, but the authors offer no empirical evidence to support the model.”
Structuring Destination Image: A Qualitative Approach (2005, background): “This implies that perceptual maps do not exist in isolation with reference to a specific place but need to be contextualized in a wider framework of experience, expectations, degrees of knowledge, culture, interests, and preferred activities, as suggested by Sirgy and Su (2000).”

Toward a Quality-of-Life Theory of Leisure Travel Satisfaction (2010, background): “In other words, tourists feel happy with the service when they perceive the typical service patron to be similar to how they see themselves (selfimage) (e.g., Sirgy and Su 2000).”
Destination Image and Its Functional Relationships (2007, background): “These inputs are grouped as controllable (dynamic), semicontrollable (semidynamic) and uncontrollable (static), similar to the groupings made by Sirgy and Su (2000) and Chon (1989), respectively.”
Destination brand personality and destination brand attachment – the involvement of self-congruence (2017, neutral): “(see for example Chen & Phou, 2013; Sirgy & Su, 2000; Usakli & Baloglu, 2011).”
