Tourist Behavior：Based on the View of Molecular Biology

doi:10.12054/lydk.bisu.39

Abstract

Abstract:

Tourist behavior belongs to the research field of human being behavior and even animal behavior in a certain way. The present researches on the tourist behavior do not have any new progress by the guide of traditional thoughts. Biology devotes much to the studies of natural and social sciences. Especially in the field of molecular biology, there has been a huge shift in the understanding of human behavior, and the study of tourist behavior is rarely involved. Maybe the bountiful thinking resources of biology can discover a new way out of the research of tourist behavior. First, the paper illustrates the influences of genes and environment on the human being in which basis dissects the possibility between the adjustment mechanism and function of DRD4’s polymorphism to behavior and the stylized tourist behavior. Secondly, the paper discusses the correlations between 5-HT genes named “happy gene” and some tourist behavior. Innovation is the soul of research. Maybe we can understand tourist behaviors which consist a important behavior structure of human being through molecular biological research, as can not only find a new research direction for tourist behavior but also construct a new theoretical basis.

Key words: tourist behavior, molecular biology, gene, environment

摘要：

旅游行为是人类行为的研究范畴,在某种意义上甚至可以说是动物行为的研究范畴。相关旅游行为基础的探讨,在传统研究思路下进度缓慢。生物学研究无论是对自然科学还是社会科学研究都作出了卓越贡献。尤其是分子生物领域研究思想,对人类行为的认识有巨大推动作用,而旅游行为研究却很少涉及。基于此,本文力图通过分子生物学相关研究思想描述旅游行为在人类社会的构成,希望能为旅游行为研究开辟崭新的解释途径,更为构建全新旅游研究体系奠定基础。首先,本文阐述了基因与环境对行为的影响,在此基础上,通过DRD4基因多态性对行为的调控机制与作用分析了与特定旅游行为间存在关联的可能;其次,延伸探讨了被称为“快乐基因”的5-HTT基因与旅游行为存在关联的可能。
