    Despite scientific evidence demonstrating the impact of climate change on the planet, climate change denial remains prevalent. This study aimed to determine how various forms of climate change denial and level of problem awareness predict intentions to increase or decrease the use of air travel, given its significant climatic impact. Using data collected from 301 air travelers in T & uuml;rkiye, we conducted Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to examine the symmetrical and asymmetrical effects, respectively. The data analysis revealed that denial of guilt negatively affected problem awareness and intention to decrease air travel. Literal denial had a positive effect on intention to increase air travel, while problem awareness had a negative effect. The fsQCA revealed very diverse recipes for each outcome variable, showing high coverage.

    Analyzing the Role of Constraints and Motivations Behind Traveling in the Prediction of Destination Choice: Evidence From Pls-Sem and Fsqca
    (Wiley, 2021) Kucukergin, Kemal Gurkan; Caliskan, Caner; Dedeoglu, Bekir Bora; Birinci, Muhammet Cenk
    This study aims to examine the relationship among travel constraints, travel motivations, and destination choice via a multi-method approach. For this purpose, two studies and two analysis tools-PLS-SEM and fsQCA-were employed to conduct examinations in the context of two different target destinations (France and China). Findings revealed that travel constraints and travel motivations generally influenced destination choice. However, it was found that PLS-SEM and fsQCA results were not compatible for some relationships. In light of this and further findings, it was observed that the matter of destination choice is complex by nature.

    An Overview of the Destination Physical Servicescape With Sor Paradigm: the Importance of Prestige Sensitivity
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Kucukergin, Kemal Gurkan; Kucukergin, Fulden Nuray; Dedeoglu, Bekir Bora
    This study aims to examine the relationships among the destination physical servicescape elements, perceived price, tourist emotions, satisfaction and behavioral intentions. Besides, the moderating role of prestige sensitivity is investigated in terms of the relationship between the variables affecting and being affected by perceived price. For data analysis, PLS-SEM is applied and except for the effect of joy on behavioral intentions, all the other direct effects are found to be statistically significant. In addition, prestige sensitivity has a moderating role only in the relationship between the perceived price and love.
