Abstract

Prior studies have shown the impact of affect balance and emodiversity—two key facets of tourists' emotions—on tourist well-being. We consider a new concept of emotional fluctuation and investigate its role in boosting tourist well-being through a multi-level validation process via three stepwise studies. The results indicate that emotional fluctuation can boost tourist well-being. Furthermore, this study provides an incremental explanation for tourist well-being beyond those provided by the existing literature, which only considers affect balance and emodiversity. It also demonstrates that anticipated emotional fluctuation influences travel route selection before travel. This study deepens our understanding of the relationship between tourists' emotions and well-being and has practical implications for tour-route design.

节奏旅游：情绪波动与游客幸福感

已有研究表明，游客情感的两个重要方面——情感平衡和情感多样性对游客幸福感的影响。本文提出了一个新的情绪波动概念，并通过三个逐步研究的多级验证过程，探讨了情绪波动对游客幸福感的促进作用。结果表明，情绪波动对游客幸福感有促进作用。此外，在现有文献仅考虑情感平衡和情感多样性的基础上，本研究为游客幸福感提供了一个增量解释。研究还表明，出行前预期情绪波动会影响出行路线的选择。本研究加深了我们对游客情绪与幸福感关系的认识，并对旅游线路设计具有实际意义。

期刊介绍： The Annals of Tourism Research is a scholarly journal that focuses on academic perspectives related to tourism. The journal defines tourism as a global economic activity that involves travel behavior, management and marketing activities of service industries catering to consumer demand, the effects of tourism on communities, and policy and governance at local, national, and international levels. While the journal aims to strike a balance between theory and application, its primary focus is on developing theoretical constructs that bridge the gap between business and the social and behavioral sciences. The disciplinary areas covered in the journal include, but are not limited to, service industries management, marketing science, consumer marketing, decision-making and behavior, business ethics, economics and forecasting, environment, geography and development, education and knowledge development, political science and administration, consumer-focused psychology, and anthropology and sociology.
