Abstract

Dispositional awe has previously been positively linked to subjective well-being, directly and indirectly, through meaning in life and materialism. There hasn’t been much research that considered these relationships in the context of tourist eudaimonic well-being. Hence, the main goal of the present study is to check whether dispositional awe relates to tourist eudaimonic well-being and whether meaning in life and materialism can serve as underlying mechanisms behind this relationship. Data was collected from a sample of 3 adults through self-report online questionnaires. Model 4 in PROCESS (Hayes, 2018) was used to investigate the parallel mediation effects and the direct impact hypothesized in this study. The two parallel mediators were meaning in life and materialism. The dispositional awe was modelled as a predictor, and tourist eudaimonic well-being as an outcome variable. Mediation analysis confirmed a significant, positive direct path from dispositional awe to tourist eudaimonic well-being. Bootstrap analysis indicated that meaning in life, not materialism, mediated this relationship. Based on this research, it can be concluded that those tourists who are more prone to experience awe might give their lives more meaning, promoting eudaimonic well-being during the touristic trips.

生活意义与物质主义在气质敬畏与旅游幸福感关系中的中介作用

先前，通过生活意义和物质主义，气质敬畏与主观幸福感直接或间接地呈正相关。并没有太多的研究将这些关系考虑到游客的幸福感中。因此，本研究的主要目的是检验气质敬畏是否与游客的幸福感有关，以及生活意义和物质主义是否可以作为这种关系背后的潜在机制。数据收集自3名成年人的样本，通过自我报告在线问卷。采用PROCESS (Hayes, 2018)中的模型4来考察本研究假设的平行中介效应和直接影响。这两个平行的中介是生活意义和物质主义。性格敬畏被建模为一个预测因子，旅游者的幸福作为一个结果变量。中介分析证实了一个显著的，积极的直接路径，从气质敬畏到游客的幸福。Bootstrap分析表明，在这种关系中起中介作用的是生活意义，而不是物质主义。基于本研究，我们可以得出结论，那些更倾向于体验敬畏的游客可能会赋予他们的生活更多的意义，促进他们在旅游过程中的幸福幸福感。
