Replication and Revised Model Testing: The Effect of Shopping Satisfaction during Leisure Travel on Satisfaction with Life Overall: The Mitigating Role of Financial Concerns

The overall aim of this pre-registered study is to replicate the data collection process of a previously pre-registered research protocol published by Sirgy et al. (2019) using a new sample sharing the same properties as the initial study, and a revised survey questionnaire. As the previous one, the present study is designed to demonstrate that financial concerns play an important role in the way leisure travel contributes to tourist’s life satisfaction. Specifically, financial concerns are likely to dampen the effects of satisfaction with shopping, satisfaction with leisure travel, satisfaction with leisure life, and satisfaction with life overall. First, the initial model of Sirgy et al. (2019) will be tested with the new data set. Second, a revised model will be tested, which posits that hedonic and eudaimonic experiences during travel-leisure travel satisfaction relationships are negatively moderated by overspending during shopping. Third, moderated regression analysis with mean-centered variables will be conducted to test the interactive effect and the results are expected to show that there are significantly negative interaction effects. other
