Abstract

The purpose of the study was to develop a conceptual framework and measures to identify the association of the need for affiliation and traveler profiles in shifts of motivations for travel. The instrument contained four types of questions: the revised Mehrabian Affiliative Tendency Scales, Driver's Recreation Experience Preference Scales, traveler and demographic profile questions. There was a significant difference between the factor mean scores for four of the five travel motivation factors among the three sub-groups as determined by their respective levels of affiliation. The results revealed that there was a significant difference between the factor mean scores for travel motivation among the three subgroups as determined by their respective preference for types of travel.
