Word: allocentric Part of Speech: adj Etymology: The adjective is derived from allo- (prefix meaning ‘different; other’) + -centric (suffix meaning ‘having a specified object at the centre, or as the focus of attention’). Sense 3 (‘of a tourist: tending to be adventurous’) was coined by the American travel researcher Stanley C. Plog in a paper presented to the Southern California Chapter of the Travel Research Association on 10 October 1972, which was later published in February 1974. The noun is probably derived from the adjective. Pronunciation: /ˌælə(ʊ)ˈsɛntɹɪk/, /ˌæloʊˈsɛntɹɪk/ 1. Concerned with the interests of others more than one's own; community-minded. 2. Of spatial representations: linked to a reference frame based on the external environment and independent of one's current location in it (for example, giving a direction as "north" as opposed to "right"). 3. Of a tourist: tending to be adventurous and preferring novel and unfamiliar experiences. Labels: also Example: [Stanley C.] Plog (1974, 1990, 1991b) delineated personality types along a continuum ranging from allocentrism to psychocentrism. The psychocentric personality type tends toward territory boundedness, insecurity, and powerlessness. Psychocentric individuals also tend to have non-active lifestyles and are non-adventurous. In contrast, allocentric individuals tend to be self-confident, intellectually curious, and feel in control of their lives. Example: [P]sychocentrics could conceivably vacation in essentially allocentric destinations (with the exception of people with extremely low incomes). For instance, a psychocentric may travel to a remote area under the security of a completely planned, fully escorted tour.

The noun is probably derived from the adjective. Pronunciation: /ˌælə(ʊ)ˈsɛntɹɪk/, /ˌæloʊˈsɛntɹɪk/ 1. A tourist who tends to be adventurous and to prefer novel and unfamiliar experiences. Example: According to [Stanley C.] Plog (1991b), psychocentrics tend to prefer a high degree of familiarity in their travel and, as a result, enjoy group or "packaged" tours. In contrast, allocentrics enjoy vacations to exotic and unique destinations, and prefer to travel independently (i.e., not as part of group tours). Example: Simply put, psychocentrics are at ease only when within their comfort zone, while allocentrics are driven to leave their comfort zone on a regular basis.
