20.500.12556/RUP-22616 An extended pre-testing protocol in the lead-up to field studies To establish whether interventions ultimately change behavior, they are best tested in the field. However, there is no clear consensus on how to pre-select such interventions. To address this, we propose an extended pre-testing protocol in the lead-up to field studies. This extended protocol combines different approaches by (1) distinguishing between (a) an intervention triggering the corresponding theoretical construct, (b) the construct being linked to behavioral intentions, (c) the intervention affecting behavioral intentions; and (2) accounting for emotional reactions to intervention materials. We illustrate the protocol in an online experiment (N = 636) focusing on the example behavior of opting out of daily hotel room cleans—a behavior which can help reduce the environmental footprint of tourism. The results illustrate the value of the extended pre-testing protocol in tourism and hospitality research and beyond. It increases understanding of underlying intervention mechanisms and ensures interventions are suitable for the field. eksperimentalni protokol predhodnega testiranja čustveni odnosi vedenjske intervencije okolju prijazen ravnanje turistov true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-02-04 10:57:55 2026-02-04 10:57:56 2026-02-06 03:07:19 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 2029-2046 iss. 8 Vol. 64 Nov. 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 338.48 0047-2875 10.1177/00472875241266617 238354435 RAZ_Zinn_Anna_K._2025.pdf RAZ_Zinn_Anna_K._2025.pdf 1 66D5893355083941F65F3F0EDF4208C4 ba3f0cbf954331d91017ffed8b6dfbc1f7ad3a181e2ddffb393be7968ddf3c18 1ab34cb6-01b0-11f1-b092-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=32910 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00472875241266617 1 0277dd77-01b0-11f1-b092-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=32909 Fakulteta za turistične študije - Turistica 0 0 0
