Abstrakt

Badanie podejmuje słabo zbadany problem wpływu animozji narodowych będących wynikiem konfliktu geopolitycznego na postawy obywateli kraju przyjmującego wobec turystów z kraju postrzeganego jako antagonistyczny. Opierając się na założeniach teoretycznych koncepcyjnego modelu e-S-O-R (bodziec-organizm-reakcja), autor wykorzystuje metodę cząstkowych najmniejszych kwadratów do szacowania modelu równań strukturalnych (PLS-SEM) opisującego postawy
gościnności mieszkańców RPA w okresie napiętych stosunków z USA. Model PLS-SEM posłużył do sprawdzenia szeregu hipotez opartych na danych zebranych od 494 mieszkańców RPA. Stwierdzono, że animozja odczuwana przez respondentów wobec USA miała negatywny wpływ na wizerunek tego kraju i zwiększała poczucie ryzyka społeczno-psychologicznego, co z kolei wpływało na postawę gościnności respondentów wobec turystów amerykańskich w okresie napiętych dwustronnych stosunków geopolitycznych. Co więcej, pośredniczący związek między animozją a postawą gościnności mieszkańców potwierdził słuszność modelu e-S-O-R. Badanie przyczynia się do lepszego rozumienia zachowań mieszkańców kraju przyjmującego i stanowi źródło istotnej wiedzy dla osób zajmujących się turystyką i stosunkami międzynarodowymi (dyplomacją) na temat relacji między ludnością miejscową a turystami zagranicznymi w kontekście dwustronnego konfliktu geopolitycznego.

Słowa kluczowe:

stosunki dwustronne, wizerunek kraju, geopolityka, animozje narodowe, gościnność mieszkańców, postrzeganie ryzyka
