Abstract

Water areas (WA) can potentially promote well-being (WB), but there exists a paucity of research on the positive effects and role of water-based recreational experiences (WBRE). In an attempt to fill the gap in the literature, this study proposes a model to determine how WBRE can affect WB. Thus, this study investigates the role of therapeutic landscapes (TL) and emotional experiences (EE) in the relationship between WBRE, WB, and environmental behaviors (EB). Data are obtained from a total of 491 participants who previously had WBRE through the questionnaire method. This study finds that the variables had significant and positive relationships with each other. More specifically, it reveals a moderating role of TL in the relationship between WBRE and EE; a mediating role of EE in the relationship between WBRE and WB. The model analysis yields that EE have no effect on EB, and also that EE are not a mediating variable in the relationship between WBRE and EB.

治疗景观和情感体验在水上娱乐体验、幸福感和环境行为之间的关系中的作用

水域（WA）可以潜在地促进幸福感（WB），但关于水上娱乐体验（WBRE）的积极影响和作用的研究却很缺乏。为了填补文献中的空白，本研究提出了一个模型来确定WBRE如何影响WB。因此，本研究探讨了治疗景观（TL）和情绪体验（EE）在WBRE、WB和环境行为（EB）之间的关系中的作用。数据通过问卷调查法从491名以前患有WBRE的参与者中获得。本研究发现，各变量之间存在显著的正相关关系。更具体地说，它揭示了语言在WBRE和情感表达之间的关系中起调节作用；情感表达在WBRE和WB之间的中介作用。模型分析表明，情感表达对情感表达没有影响，情感表达也不是WBRE与情感表达关系的中介变量。

The journal publishes peer reviewed original research on all aspects of outdoor recreation planning and management, covering the entire spectrum of settings from wilderness to urban outdoor recreation opportunities. It also focuses on new products and findings in nature based tourism and park management. JORT is an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary journal, articles may focus on any aspect of theory, method, or concept of outdoor recreation research, planning or management, and interdisciplinary work is especially welcome, and may be of a theoretical and/or a case study nature. Depending on the topic of investigation, articles may be positioned within one academic discipline, or draw from several disciplines in an integrative manner, with overarching relevance to social sciences and natural resources. JORT is international in scope and attracts scholars from all reaches of the world to facilitate the exchange of ideas. As such, the journal enhances understanding of scientific knowledge, empirical results, and practitioners'' needs. Therefore in JORT each article is accompanied by an executive summary, written by the editors or authors, highlighting the planning and management relevant aspects of the article.
