Abstract

Well-being has gained attention in event studies, with claims that event experiences can enhance individual well-being. However, there appears to be limited research on the overall impact of events on individual well-being. This study examines the association between frequent event attendance and individual well-being and investigates how in-person and virtual event attendance impact attendees' well-being. Adopting the PERMA model from positive psychology, the survey results reveal that frequent in-person event attendance is significantly related to two dimensions of well-being (positive emotion and engagement), while frequent virtual event attendance is associated with one dimension (accomplishment). This study takes a holistic approach by examining the relationships between event attendance and well-being, offering a more comprehensive understanding of the value of events for personal well-being. In addition, this study provides quantitative evidence that event attendance can effectively improve individual well-being, providing practical insights for adopting events to foster well-being.

事件对个人幸福的价值：一个PERMA的视角

幸福感在事件研究中得到了关注，声称事件经历可以增强个人幸福感。然而，关于事件对个人福祉的总体影响的研究似乎有限。本研究考察了频繁出席活动与个人幸福感之间的关系，并调查了亲自出席和虚拟出席活动如何影响参与者的幸福感。采用积极心理学的PERMA模型，调查结果显示，频繁的现场活动出席与幸福感的两个维度（积极情绪和参与）显著相关，而频繁的虚拟活动出席与一个维度（成就）相关。本研究采用整体方法，考察活动出席率与幸福感之间的关系，从而更全面地了解活动对个人幸福感的价值。此外，本研究提供了事件出席能有效提高个体幸福感的量化证据，为采用事件促进幸福感提供了实践见解。

It continues to publish high quality research papers in any area of tourism, including empirical papers on tourism issues. The journal welcomes submissions based upon both primary research and reviews including papers in areas that may not directly be tourism based but concern a topic that is of interest to researchers in the field of tourism, such as economics, marketing, sociology and statistics.
