In this study, rural residents' attitudes toward rural tourism were investigated and analyzed factors from a social psychological perspective. It was found that residents who were economically dependent on rural tourism tended to have more positive attitudes towards the industry; this finding is consistent with social exchange theory. The frequency and quality of the interaction between tourists and residents also played important roles in influencing residents' attitudes.
