ABSTRACT

Many studies analysing the relationship between attitudes and travel behaviour have found that travel attitudes have an important impact on travel mode choice. More recently, studies focusing on how people experience travel have shown that travel satisfaction is influenced by the chosen travel mode. The desire and intention of using a travel mode – which can be considered as important predictors of mode choice – have, however, received limited attention. Furthermore, existing studies mostly have a narrow scope and lack integration of the above constructs. In this paper, we introduce the travel mode choice cycle (TMCC), a comprehensive model aiming to link attitude, desire, intention, behaviour, and satisfaction by integrating prominent social-psychological attitude theories such as the theory of planned behaviour, the model of goal-directed behaviour, and the theory of cognitive dissonance. We argue that the constructs of the TMCC are strongly interrelated such that they can affect each other in direct and indirect ways. The proposed cycle provides valuable insights for policymakers to stimulate the use of desired travel modes, such as public transport and active travel. We end this paper by providing suggestions for future studies to simultaneously investigate the relationships specified by the TMCC.

摘要

许多分析态度与出行行为关系的研究发现，出行态度对出行方式选择有重要影响。最近，关注人们如何体验旅行的研究表明，旅行满意度受所选旅行方式的影响。然而，使用出行模式的愿望和意图——可以被认为是模式选择的重要预测因素——受到的关注有限。此外，现有研究大多范围狭窄，缺乏对上述结构的整合。在本文中，我们介绍了出行方式选择循环（TMCC），这是一个综合模型，旨在通过整合著名的社会心理态度理论，如计划行为理论，将态度、欲望、意图、行为和满意度联系起来，目标导向行为模型和认知失调理论。我们认为 TMCC 的结构是密切相关的，因此它们可以直接和间接的方式相互影响。拟议的周期为政策制定者提供了宝贵的见解，以刺激人们使用所需的出行方式，例如公共交通和主动出行。我们通过为未来的研究提供建议来结束本文，以同时调查 TMCC 指定的关系。
