Abstract

When women travel together, the social identity of the members creates group harmony, but disagreements over travel arrangements create intragroup conflict. This study draws on the self-categorization theory to examine the impact of group conflict and group harmony on female companion travel experiences and future female companion travel intentions. The study used both qualitative and quantitative methods. Focus group meetings were performed to develop the scale to measure dictatorship as a source of creating group conflict during female companion travel. The results of the questionnaire survey indicated that group conflict and group harmony have an impact on female companion travel experiences, but only group conflict directly influences future female companion travel intentions, group harmony does not. Female companion travel experience mediates the effect of group conflict and group harmony on future female companion travel intentions. Recommendations for destinations and the tourism industry to improve female companion travel experiences are provided.

团体冲突与团体和谐会影响未来女性结伴旅行的意愿：女伴旅行经历的中介效应

当女性结伴旅行时，成员的社会认同感会创造团体和谐，但旅行安排上的分歧会造成团体内部冲突。本研究借鉴自我归类理论，探讨了团体冲突与团体和谐对女性结伴旅行体验和未来女性结伴旅行意愿的影响。研究采用了定性和定量两种方法。通过焦点小组会议制定了量表，以衡量独裁是女性结伴旅行期间产生群体冲突的根源。问卷调查结果表明，群体冲突和群体和谐对女伴旅行体验有影响，但只有群体冲突会直接影响未来女伴旅行意向，群体和谐不会。女伴旅游体验对群体冲突和群体和谐对未来女伴旅游意愿的影响具有中介作用。本文为旅游目的地和旅游业提供了改善女伴旅游体验的建议。
