Abstract

In this study, "individual primal scene" was defined as scenery of the place where they had ever lived and had most strong impact. This study examined individual preferences for sightseeing destinations determined by individual mental factors including "individual primal scene" and two psychological scales. Ninety-eight female undergraduate students in Japan answered their primal scenes and their preferences for sightseeing spots. Then, they were asked to complete two psychological scales: Self-Monitoring Scale (Lennox & Wolfe, 1984) and Sensation Seeking Scale (Furusawa, 1989). Result demonstrated that the persons whose primal scene contained little rural scenery had more propensity to "Disinhibition", and they preferred to the place of entertainment. On the other hands, the persons whose primal scene had more rural hometown preferred to go to adventure spots. Moreover, high self-monitors preferred the nature place and natural view spots.
