ABSTRACT

This study examined the structural relationships of perceived control, psychological ownership, attitude and behavioral intention toward domestic tourism. It focused on the case of Rail-ro, which is a seasonal rail pass for youth travelers. It also tested the mediating role of psychological ownership between perceived control and attitude/behavioral intention. Targeting youth travelers who made domestic trips using a Rail-ro pass in the Summer of 2015, an online questionnaire survey was conducted for two weeks from August 14 to August 28, 2015. A total of 241 responses were used for analysis after removing incomplete or invalid surveys. This study found that (1) perceived control exerted significant positive influences on psychological ownership, attitude and behavioral intention, (2) psychological ownership had a positive effect on attitude and behavioral intention, and (3) attitude showed a positive effect on behavioral intention. It also highlighted the point that psychological ownership is a significant partial mediator between perceived control and attitude/behavioral intention. This study provided academic and practical implications based on the importance of psychological ownership that travelers felt during their Rail-ro experiences in the context of domestic tourism.
