Bu çalışmanın amacı, turistlerin inanç turizmi kapsamında törenlere tekrar katılma ile ilgili karar verme sürecini incelemektir. Araştırmada, turistlerin karar verme sürecini incelemek için sosyo-psikolojik bir yaklaşım olan Amaca Yönelik Davranış Modeli (AYDM) kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini, 07-17.12.2012 tarihleri arasında Konya’da düzenlenen Mevlana Şeb-i Arus törenlerine katılan yerli ve yabancı ziyaretçiler oluşturmaktadır. Ancak, evren geniş olduğundan araştırmada, Amaca Göre Örnekleme Yöntemi tercih edilmiş ve alan araştırmasına törenlere katılan ve sadece beş yıldızlı bir otelde konaklayan ziyaretçiler dâhil edilmiştir (sayı=242). Araştırmanın yöntemi, nicel araştırma yöntemine dayanmaktadır. Anket yoluyla elde edilen verileri analiz etmek için sayı, yüzdelik, ortalama ve standart sapma gibi temel belirleyici istatistiklerden ve faktör analizi, korelasyon ve regresyon gibi istatistiksel analiz yöntemlerinden faydalanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, tutumlar, kişisel normlar, öngörülen pozitif ve negatif duygular ve algılanan davranışsal kontrol ile davranışsal istek arasında; davranışın önceden gerçekleşme sıklığı ve
istek ile niyet arasında olumlu ve anlamlı derecede ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, öngörülen olumlu duyguların ve algılanan davranışsal kontrolün davranışsal isteği; davranışın önceden gerçekleşme sıklığının ve davranışsal
isteğin ise davranışsal niyeti olumlu ve istatistikî olarak anlamlı düzeyde etkilediği saptanmıştır.
