| Abstract: | The paper examines consumer leisure and travel behaviour using face-to-face interviews of travel informants. It also applies the folk theory of the mind, ecological systems theory, and the fits-like a-glove model. Findings indicate that most individual and household leisure and travel-relating behaviour results from a "causal historical wave" in which an array of events come together, interact, and cause individuals to participate in certain behaviours. Moreover, it indicates that most travel behaviour is the result of automatic thinking rather than a rational or constructive process. |
