Abstract

Place attachment is a hot topic in various subjects at home and abroad, but the psychological attributions and its formation mechanism of tourists' place attachment have not been systematically investigated in the situation of tropical island destinations. This study selects Hainan International Tourism Island as a research case. The research object is re-visiting tourists and tourists with similar destination preference. The text analysis data is online travel notes, and the research method is grounded theory. The research purpose is to construct an integrated model of psychological attributions and its formation mechanism of tourists' place attachment. The results show that:1) place psychological cognition, place emotional symbol and place attachment tendency are the psychological attributions of tourists' place attachment. They constitute the "cognitive-affective-behavioral tendency model" of place attachment, emphasizing the mutual infiltration of the three. The place psychological cognition, place affective symbol is the deep psychological attributions, place attachment tendency belongs to the surface psychological attribution. 2) The "response-adjustment" system mechanism is the formation mechanism of tourists' place attachment, which consists of the internal response path of psychological attribution and the external adjustment path of individual influence factors.
