Impact of Family Interaction on Future Adult Child-Parent Travel Intention: Implementing the McMaster Model of Family Functioning

Adult child-parent travel is a prevalent, but understudied, phenomenon in Confucian Asian countries. To better understand how adult children evaluate such tourism experiences, this research re-conceptualizes dimensions of family interaction and examines their impacts on future adult child-parent travel intention within the mainland China context using a mixed-method approach. Guided by the McMaster model of Family Functioning, qualitative findings suggest that family interaction includes three dimensions: Communication, Affective Interaction, and Problem Solving. Additionally, analysis of data collected from 451 Chinese adult children who traveled with their parents reveals that family interaction positively influences future adult child-parent travel intention through enhanced family intimacy and increased tourist engagement. This study contributes not only to the existing literature on family travel but also provides guidance for fostering positive adult child-parent interactions, aiming to ensure the sustainable development of adult child-parent travel.

Information sources and tourism heritage: a sustainable economy perspective

PurposeConserving appropriately the culture and heritage of a city through sustainable tourism is a key element for its economic development. Heritage cities generate economic, social and environmental benefits through tourism management. This study aims to intend, in the context of economic sustainability of the territory and promotion, to improve the understanding of the relationship between the sources of information of tourists and their motivations, with satisfaction and future behaviour intentions. For this, a study has been carried out in the Old Town of Cáceres (Spain), a city recognised as a world heritage property by UNESCO.Design/methodology/approachThis study applies a descriptive analysis, based on frequencies. For data collection, a structured questionnaire has been used to identify the opinion of tourists during their visit to the heritage city of Cáceres.FindingsThis study demonstrates the existence of a positive relationship between the sources of information and the tourist experience with their future behavioural intentions and satisfaction of their visit. All this in the global context of the destination for sustainable economy and the UN Agenda 2030 for sustainable development. Furthermore, the results of the study suggest that the motivations of tourists are the most important factor in explaining the overall experience and loyalty of tourists to a city.Research limitations/implicationsA limitation of this study is the data set used. The results must be contextualised at the time and place when the questionnaire was conducted.Practical implicationsThe proposed model makes it possible to advance future heritage tourism strategies, in terms of planning and communication of the heritage resources of a destination. Tourism heritage institutions should increasingly invest in communication improvements based on new technologies and social media. At the same time, integrated planning with special policies for the sustainable protection of heritage can make important progress in the tourist and cultural development of the destination.Originality/valueThis article tests for the first time within the context of heritage cities in Spain and in the context of a sustainable economy and cultural heritage for destination, the relationship between different sources of site promotion information and future tourist behaviour intentions. It provides original evidence of the value of applying the underlying theory of the proposed model in a world heritage tourist destination.

Nurse Managers' Professional Quality of Life During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Health systems cannot effectively support nurse managers without understanding psychosocial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of this study was to describe the professional quality of life of frontline nursing management during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional online survey of 54 nurses in management positions at a large Midwest academic medical center during 2022 was conducted. Participants completed an electronic survey including demographics, Professional Quality of Life Measure Version 5, and items assessing past consideration of and future intent to leave their position, organization, or profession. Most participants had previously considered changing roles (80%) or leaving the organization during the pandemic (76%). Fewer respondents reported that changing role (24%) or organization (20%) was likely during the upcoming 6-12 months. Most participants scored in moderate ranges of Compassion Satisfaction, Burnout, and Secondary Traumatic Stress scales (85%, 89%, and 74%, respectively). Higher Compassion Satisfaction was associated with extreme unlikelihood of leaving for an internal non-management role. Higher Burnout scores were associated with more time working and past consideration or future likelihood of leaving for an external non-nursing position. Secondary Traumatic Stress scores were higher for nurse managers and house operation managers than assistant nurse managers and associated with past consideration of moving to an internal non-management role or external non-nursing position and future likelihood of moving to an external non-nursing position. Nurse management occupies a demanding position between frontline staff needs and administrative requirements, profoundly impacted by COVID-19. Health care researchers, administration, and policymakers must learn how to support, retain, and sustain nursing management in a post-pandemic world.

P519 Assessment of anal sphincter complex in pregnant patients with non-active perianal Crohns disease

Abstract Background Pregnant IBD patients are more likely to undergo Cesarean delivery (CS).. Active perianal Crohn’s disease (PCD) is the only Crohns - related indication for CS. The rationale for CS in this group is that active PCD damages the sphincters and therefore a vaginal delivery may exacerbate the damage to the point of fecal incontinence. Pregnant PCD patients with non-active PCD are commonly not offered CS. We suspect that lack of active PCD does not necessarily attest for the physiological function of the anal complex sphincter and that vaginal delivery may exacerbate their condition to the point of incontinence. Therefore, we conducted a prospective trial to examine, prior to delivery, the anatomy and physiology of the sphincter complex in our cohort and weather pregnant patients with non-active PCD suffer from sphincter damageMethods All consecutive pregnant patients with Non-active PCD were enlisted. Patients underwent physical examination, anal manometry and Trans Rectal Ultra Sound (TRUS) before conception or during pregnancy before delivery. Active PCD was defined as: Perianal abscess, fistulas with active drainage, severe fissures and stricture. Non active PCD was defined as history of prior PCD, history of surgery for perianal fistula or old scars from previous abscess drainage. Results There were 13 patients who were enlisted to our study. Table 1 describes the TRUS, Manometry and pregnancy details. There were 9 patients (69%) with evidence of sphincter damage in our cohort including external and/or internal sphincter of at least 30 degrees of the muscle radius. Of them, 6 had posterior damage and 4 had anterior damage. In Manometry all patients had either normal or satisfying results. Three patients were strongly recommended to choose CS due to the sphincter damage. Conclusion patients with non-active PCD and future intent to deliver should be assessed routinely regarding their sphincter complex status. This should include TRUS, manometry and clinical evaluation. We discuss with each patient the advantages and disadvantages of vaginal delivery versus CS, weighing the risk of repeated CS (mainly placenta previa and accreta) against the risk of incontinence. Maternal age, Obstetrical history and estimated fetal weight at delivery are the main factors to consider. Although it is still unclear if detected muscle injury affect clinical incontinence, it is our practice to recommend CS for patients with significant muscle damage. We emphasize our recommendation specifically in patients with anterior damage because potentially delivery damage would be to the same area

The role of hope and conservation attitudes in current conservation actions and future conservation intentions

Current community-led conservation (CLC) actions support present and future biodiversity. Present-day conservation volunteer efforts are measurable; however, future CLC activity is uncertain. Understanding what motivates volunteers to take part in CLC activities is therefore essential. This study investigates the relationships between hope, conservation attitudes, current conservation action, and future conservation intention. We use Snyder’s adult hope state scale to explore the relationship between hope, conservation attitudes, self-reported current conservation actions, and future conservation intentions (planting, weeding, predator control) of 243 adult Aotearoa New Zealand participants. The relationship of hope and conservation attitudes to current conservation action and future conservation intention is complex. Specifically, hope relates to future conservation intention but is not associated with current conservation action. Furthermore, hope negatively correlated with intending volunteer belief that nature could heal itself. Volunteers with future conservation intentions hold conservation attitudes that actively connect people to nature and other people and show commitment to the natural world. Intending volunteers also feel able to help others learn about the natural world, value scientific and technological interventions, and the relative importance of individual effort, teamwork, and collaboration. Volunteers currently active in conservation solely held attitudes of connection to nature, connection to other people, commitment to the natural world, and helping others learn about the natural world. Understanding what motivates volunteers to undertake conservation action is critical to designing sustainable CLC projects that deliver positive outcomes for biodiversity in the long term.

Prediction of tourists' intention toward domestic vs international destinations in post-COVID-19 recovery: the role of COVID-19, future anxiety and solidarity

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate, upon taking into consideration both symmetric and asymmetric effects, how the economic and psychological impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, solidarity and future anxiety affect travel intention and the willingness to support a destination (WSD). Furthermore, the study sheds light on whether these relationships vary between domestic and international destinations.Design/methodology/approachThe data are collected from 379 potential tourists. To detect and analyze the symmetrical and asymmetric effects, the covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) and the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) are employed, respectively.FindingsIt is observed that, whereas only the effects of solidarity on travel intention and WSD differ in the CB-SEM, the fsQCA results include different recipes for the two groups.Originality/valueThere has not been much research done yet on the influence of future anxiety on tourists' decisions. Furthermore, it has not been thoroughly investigated whether solidarity has a different function for destinations within and outside of the country. In this respect, the study of both symmetric and asymmetric effects represents an important contribution to the literature.

FinTech Services Adoption in Greece: The Roles of Trust, Government Support, and Technology Acceptance Factors

Financial technology or FinTech is a term that has arisen in recent years; it refers to innovative technologies designed to enhance and automate the provision and utilization of financial services. Its solutions aim to simplify conventional financial procedures, boost automation, lower expenses, and deliver personalized and user-friendly experiences for both businesses and consumers. But this question remains: what drives users to adopt such services and how are they perceived by the general public? In our study, a quantitative non-experimental correlational methodology in the form of an online survey was utilized to study the Greek citizens’ behavioral intentions regarding the utilization of FinTech services. Based on the answers of 348 respondents, structural equation modeling was performed to evaluate the theoretical model, which included technology acceptance factors. Unlike conventional models that primarily relate user acceptance to adoption, our research goes beyond these models by expanding on the TAM model via an exploration of the role of trust and the influence of government support on user trust and perceived effort and an examination of how these, in turn, impact the FinTech services adoption. In our context, government support refers to the regulatory frameworks, policies, and endorsements provided by governmental bodies. The results indicated that all the aspects of this study related to trust and user acceptance (effort expectancy and performance expectancy) revealed a significant and positive relationship with FinTech services adoption and can be predictive factors of citizens’ future intentions to use FinTech services. This study also verified that trust in FinTech services mediates the relationship between government support and FinTech services adoption. We place emphasis on the intricate yet complex decision-making process in technology adoption, particularly in the field of FinTech, by exploring the intertwined relationships of trust, government support, and technology acceptance factors; the findings offer valuable insights for policymakers and industry practitioners.

A pilot study to assess medical students' perception of their osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT) education

ObjectiveThe aim of this pilot study was to determine which factors (both positive and negative) of a medical students' OMT training influenced their perception of OMT and their intent to use it in the future. MethodsA computer-based survey was distributed to medical students (years 1–4) at two different campuses of an Osteopathic Medical School based in the United States. Multiple factors affecting students' perception of OMT were assessed, including experiences prior to medical school or during their pre-clinical years, virtual/in-person learning, OMT club, OMT clerkship, and OMT fellowship. Students were also asked about their confidence in using OMT, overall perception of OMT, and future intent to use OMT. ResultsFactors that appeared to positively influence medical students' perception of OMT were in-person hands-on training (76 %), prior medical school experiences (31 %), OMT club activities (19 %), and OMT fellowship (9 %). Those that appeared to negatively influence their perception were virtual learning (47 %) and pre-clinical lecture hours (46 %). Medical students' overall perception of OMT diminished when comparing first-year to third- and fourth-year students. Selecting an osteopathic school for OMT training also had a positive influence on a students' perception of OMT. Students who were satisfied and confident in their training reported a higher likelihood of using OMT in the future. ConclusionsStudents' attitude toward OMT and their reported likelihood of future use of OMT were improved by hands-on/in-person learning, clinical OMT opportunities, and OMT experiences prior to medical school. Greater attention must be focused on these forms of OMT education.

OS-FCM: A semi-supervised clustering approach to investigating consumers’ usage patterns of contactless shopping-delivery (S-D) channel

Investigating the factors that contribute to consumers’ usage patterns of contactless shopping-delivery (S-D) channel is important for e-commerce retailers and logistics operators. However, in the data as collected by a questionnaire survey, distinct usage patterns are not always easily observed due to the existence of outliers, which places a challenge for the investigation. Hence, this study develops a labelling approach, named OS-FCM, to determine the usage patterns. As a semi-supervised clustering approach, OS-FCM integrates One-Class Support Vector Machine and Fuzzy C-Means, which enables it to make a trade-off between subjective judgement and statistical evidence when identifying patterns and to effectively recognize the patterns of outliers. The dataset with the usage patterns is used to train Random Forest, upon which Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) approach is applied to measure the contributions of each factor. The data as collected by a questionnaire survey in Singapore are used for a case study. By using OS-FCM, the participants are clustered into five patterns with each pattern involving three variables, namely, current usage frequency, current behavioral habit, and future continuance intention. The contributions of each potential factor to the patterns are measured by SHAP values. In the case study, two regular patterns and three outlier patterns are identified. It is found that consumers’ past behavior stands out to be the most important factor to the pattern formation from an aggregated perspective. Factors such as fear appeal and behavior maintenance/change motivations exert differentiated impacts on the formation of the five patterns. Besides, as compared to commonly used clustering methods, OS-FCM has better clustering performance and the patterns determined by OS-FCM are more reasonable and rational, which provides a solid basis for better understanding the usage patterns.

Ageing-in-Place at Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORCs): A Case Study on Bribie Island, Australia

Through a case study on Bribie Island in Queensland, Australia, this study investigates Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORCs) as a viable alternative for ageing-in-place. Aim: The objectives were to investigate why older adults relocate to Bribie Island, how they perceive their living environment, and their future relocation intentions. Method: The research data were attained through semi-structured interviews with 21 Bribie Island residents, aged 65 and older. These data provided the basis for an in-depth understanding of the residents’ perspectives and experiences, with respect to their community and living conditions. Results: The findings indicate that, overall, the participants expressed a high level of satisfaction with their current living environment; however, they also highlight areas for improvement, particularly the transportation and healthcare facilities. Significantly, most respondents confirmed their desire and intention to continue residing on the island. Conclusion: As exemplified by this Bribie Island case study, this study confirms that NORCs offer desirable settings for ageing-in-place. Recognizing the diversity and range of personal preferences, this study emphasizes the importance of ongoing research to develop responsive, inclusive, and supportive environments, to strategically improve the amenities within future NORCs.

Smart tourism technology, a boon or a bane for event tourism? In the context of Kochi Muziris Biennale

This study intends to investigate how smart tourism technology usage helps in creating memorable experiences during a visit and whether it leads to building a positive image toward the destination, creating future intentions to revisit and recommend to others. The study is conducted in the context of Kochi Muziris Biennale. Data was collected through questionnaires from a total of 221 event participants. The study has applied PLS-SEM to test the research model with the help of SmartPLS4. The results reveal that smart tourism technology leads to creating memorable experiences, and the memorable experience mediates the enhancement of destination image and revisit intentions. It shows that smart tourism technology is not solely creating an impression on the destination but it is a factor in building the same. The study provides practical and theoretical implications to the literature of event tourism.

Imagine Being Humble: Integrating Imagined Intergroup Contact and Cultural Humility to Foster Inclusive Intergroup Relations.

To reduce prejudice and to promote intergroup harmony and equality, the imagined intergroup contact technique, based on the mental simulation of an encounter with an outgroup member, has been proposed. Though a substantial body of research has provided support for the efficacy of imagined intergroup contact in prejudice reduction, an alternative strand of research has raised questions about its effectiveness. In this experiment, we combined imagined intergroup contact with cultural humility, that is, an other-oriented, humble approach toward people with different cultural backgrounds, recognizing status and power imbalances and privileges. Specifically, we tested whether instructions aimed at eliciting cultural humility during imagined contact boosted its effectiveness in reducing prejudice and promoting future contact intentions, compared to a standard imagined contact condition and to a control imagination task. Intergroup anxiety was tested as a mediator of the effects of culturally humble imagined contact on reduced prejudice and on future contact intentions. We found that culturally humble imagined contact, compared to the two other conditions, reduced intergroup anxiety and yielded indirect effects on reduced prejudice and increased future contact intentions. The findings will be discussed by focusing on the integration of cultural humility in prejudice reduction techniques based on intergroup contact.

The Murray-Darling Medical Schools Network Research Collaboration: protocol for a longitudinal, multi-university program of work to explore the effect of rurally based medical school programs in the Murray-Darling region.

There is now strong evidence to support the positive impact of place-based medical education on the recruitment and retention of the rural health workforce in Australia. Much of this work, however, has been undertaken in the context of 'extended rural clinical placement' - students undertaking part of their medical degree in a rural location. Until recently, there were only a few places in Australia in which students could undertake the entirety of their medical degree in a rural area. With the introduction of the Murray-Darling Medical Schools Network (MDMSN) initiative, this dynamic is changing. The MDMSN is part of the Stronger Rural Health Strategy and builds on the Australian Government's existing Rural Health Multidisciplinary Training Program to establish a network of rurally based medical programs in the Murray-Darling region. The MDMSN offers a unique opportunity to explore the effect of complete rural immersion during medical school on subsequent rural practice. This article describes the establishment of a research collaboration intended to ensure the harmonisation of research data collection from the outset of the MDMSN program. The MDMSN research collaboration is a longitudinal, multi-university program of work to explore the effect of rurally based medical school programs in the Murray-Darling region. Initially it has been agreed that administrative student data will be collected from existing university datasets to help characterise this novel student cohort. Each university will then distribute an entry survey to all first-year MDMSN students. The survey will collect demographic information as well as information regarding rural background, preferences and future practice intention. Questions have been aligned with and adapted from the Medical Schools Outcomes Database survey, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, and from the literature. This information will be combined with graduate information from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency. The MDMSN research collaboration will work toward the co-design of research projects, to facilitate and progress multi-site research addressing nationally relevant research questions. Early research efforts are focused on our ability to better understand the new cohort of students embarking on rurally based medical education, their practice intentions and realisation. Subsequent work of the collaboration may lead to deeper understanding of the rural student experience, any effect of 'place', changes in student professional identity over time, and their relationship to subsequent rural practice. The MDMSN research collaboration is a proactive initiative that brings together data and experience from five new rurally based medical programs, and answers calls for multi-institution and longitudinal studies. It is uniquely placed to capture the impact of the MDMSN program, including the effect of complete rural immersion on the future practice location of these graduates. Ultimately, the combined research efforts of the MDMSN research collaboration will add knowledge to address the known rural workforce maldistribution, particularly how to attract and retain medical workforce.

Assessing time-based prospective memory online: A comparison study between laboratory-based and web-based testing.

Prospective memory (PM, i.e., the ability to remember and perform future intentions) is assessed mainly within laboratory settings; however, in the last two decades, several studies have started testing PM online. Most part of those studies focused on event-based PM (EBPM), and only a few assessed time-based PM (TBPM), possibly because time keeping is difficult to control or standardise without experimental control. Thus, it is still unclear whether time monitoring patterns in online studies replicate typical patterns obtained in laboratory tasks. In this study, we therefore aimed to investigate whether the behavioural outcome measures obtained from the traditional TBPM paradigm in the laboratory-accuracy and time monitoring-are comparable with an online version in a sample of 101 younger adults. Results showed no significant difference in TBPM performance in the laboratory versus online setting, as well as no difference in time monitoring. However, we found that participants were somewhat faster and more accurate at the ongoing task during the laboratory assessment, but those differences were not related to holding an intention in mind. The findings suggest that, although participants seemed generally more distracted when tested remotely, online assessment yielded similar results in key temporal characteristics and behavioural performance as for the laboratory assessment. The results are discussed in terms of possible conceptual and methodological implications for online testing.

Cultivating connectedness and elevating educational experiences for international students in blended learning: reflections from the pandemic era and key takeaways

PurposeThis paper aims to explore the significance of videoconferencing in blended learning, using the technology acceptance model to investigate students’ perceptions and its impact on course engagement, student satisfaction and future technology use intention. In addition, it examines the role of teacher support in fostering interactive virtual learning experiences.Design/methodology/approachThis study focuses on a cohort of international students regarding blended courses amid the COVID-19 pandemic when the conventional face-to-face components were substituted with virtual classrooms through videoconferencing. It aims to investigate how to facilitate connectivity between Southeast Asian students and their professors located in a Southern state in the USA.FindingsThis study reveals that the perceived usefulness of videoconferencing predicts future intention to use, emphasizing the vital role of teacher support in engaging students in virtual classrooms and contributing to student satisfaction.Research limitations/implicationsThe small sample of international students in blended courses with an American university during the COVID-19 pandemic may limit the generalization of the findings.Practical implicationsVideoconferencing can be a valuable tool to enhance connectedness in digital learning post pandemic.Social implicationsVideoconferencing in blended learning can bridge geographical barriers and provide access to diverse learners who might otherwise have limited educational opportunities.Originality/valueThis study supports the integration of videoconferencing as a mechanism for providing high-quality digital learning experiences.

How does the metaverse travel experience influence virtual and actual travel behaviors? Focusing on the role of telepresence and avatar identification

Although the tourism industry is exploring the potential of the metaverse, the nature of the metaverse travel experience and its psychological and behavioral consequences have not been fully examined. This study aims to analyze the empirical linkage between the experience value of metaverse travel and both virtual and actual travel intentions by focusing on the role of telepresence and avatar identification. Study 1 qualitatively identified four experience values: utilitarian, social, hedonic, and sensory. Study 2 quantitatively analyzed the significant impact of these experience values on telepresence and its subsequent impact on both actual and continuous virtual travel intentions. It was found that similarity and ideal avatar identification moderate the impact of telepresence on future travel intentions. As an initial empirical research that investigated the influence of metaverse travel experiences, theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Enhancing Medical Students' Understanding of Team-Based Care to Address Social Determinants of Health: A Case-Based Experience.

Social and structural factors play a critical role in driving inequitable health outcomes, resulting in the need for undergraduate medical education to include important care components such as team-based care to address social determinants of health. Research shows that learning strategies such as case-based initiatives are valuable opportunities to impact knowledge of population health, health disparities, and social determinants that impact care. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of a clinical case-based experience on medical students' self-efficacy and future intent to use the team-based care necessary to address social determinants of health. We used a retrospective analysis of program data from 640 third-year medical students who engaged in a case-based experience and small-group debriefing around the impact of team-based care and social determinants of health on patient care during their family medicine clerkship between July 2020 and April 2022. We found a statistically significant improvement in students' reported self-efficacy and intent to collaborate with other health care workers (team-based care) to address patient care needs in rural and urban underserved community settings. Our students reported that a case-based experience coupled with a small-group debriefing was an effective method for teaching them how to use a team-based approach to address social determinants of health.

Innovation and sales growth intentions among the solopreneurs: The role of experience and entrepreneurial self-efficacy

It is widely accepted that the self-employed enjoy non-pecuniary benefits from their employment status. They have greater freedom and autonomy in running their businesses and can pursue their intrinsic ambitions relying on their experience and abilities. In this paper we focus on the group of solopreneurs – solo self-employed who have decided to remain as single employee businesses. What determines turnover growth and product/service innovation intentions among these firms? Within this interplay, previous experience from innovation and growth episodes, as well as entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) plays crucial roles. We empirically analyse the relationship between, and the determinants of, innovation and growth intentions using data on a large sample of UK solopreneurs. Empirical results suggest that past innovation performance and growth shape future solopreneurial intentions through an adaptive learning process given the level of perceived ESE for each future objective. Nonetheless, empirical results suggest that for female and young solopreneurs, ESE does not contribute positively to shaping sales growth and innovation intentions.

A study of cultural distance, eWOM and perceived risk in shaping higher education students' destination image and future travel plan

PurposeThis study aims to predict the effect of cultural distance, perceived risk and electronic word of mouth (eWOM) on higher education institutes' students' destination image. In addition, it examines the mediating role of destination image in relation to students' travel intentions.Design/methodology/approachAn online survey was employed to collect data from 200 graduate and postgraduate students. The partial least squares was employed to analyse the hypothesised relationships.FindingsThe results of this study found support for the positive effect of cultural distance and eWOM on destination image. Additionally, the mediating effect of destination image was also supported.Originality/valueThis research confirms the vital role of destination image as an antecedent of students' future intention to visit the destination. Moreover, this study contributes to marketing theory by predicting the critical drivers of higher education students' destination image and discussing their applications in the education sector.

Dynamics in residential relocation, car ownership, and carsharing adoption in neighborhoods with a high prevalence of carsharing

Many studies have looked into the private car ownership and residential environment factors that affect current carsharing adoption from a cross-sectional perspective, while very few have focused on dynamic variables related to home relocation and changes in vehicle access. Using survey data collected in eight typical neighborhoods with a high level of carsharing in Utrecht, the Netherlands, this study explored how dynamics in car ownership, residential relocation, and current carsharing membership are related, and how this relationship shapes intention for future carsharing membership. The explanatory variables were the changes in residential location, and past and expected changes in private car ownership. Results of our binary logistic regression and ordinary least squares regression modeling show that residential relocation has a limited effect on carsharing adoption: Newcomers from lower urbanization level neighborhoods need some time to get used to carsharing and adopt it. For car ownership dynamics, future intentions to change private car ownership are more likely to affect current and future carsharing adoption than previous changes: Previous and future changes in car ownership and carsharing adoption have different effects on actual and expected behaviors. Our study shows that different functional goals of carsharing services for different types of potential users should be distinguished.
