恢复性环境感知对中高龄游客幸福感的影响

The Impact of Perceived Restorative Environment on Well-being of Senior Tourists

基于福州国家森林公园调查数据,采用结构方程模型,将恢复体验与积极情绪作为中介变量,分析恢复性环境感知对参与森林旅游的中高龄游客幸福感的影响机制。结果表明:恢复性环境感知对恢复体验与积极情绪具有显著正向影响,但对幸福感的直接影响不显著;恢复体验在恢复性环境感知与幸福感之间起到完全中介作用,且能通过积极情绪对幸福感产生间接影响;积极情绪同样起到完全中介作用,但是其作用强度远小于恢复体验。因此,为了提高森林旅游对中高龄游客幸福感的积极效应,森林旅游地应强化恢复性环境的塑造,提高管理服务水平以促进森林旅游产品的有效供给,在满足中高龄游客健康恢复的基础上,强化其积极情感。

⑴Background——With the acceleration of the aging process in China,improving the well-being of the elderly has become a key topic of social concern.The elderly people are more inclined to develop tourism activities in the forest environment,which has a positive impact on their well-being.Therefore,it is necessary to explore the factors affecting the well-being of senior tourists.⑵Methods——In this study,restoration experience and positive emotions are used as intermediary variables.Through structural equation modeling and taking Fuzhou National Forest Park as an example,this study explores the mechanism of the impact of the perceived restorative environment of senior tourists on well-being.Bootstrap sampling is used to test whether the mediating effect between restoration experience and positive emotions is significant.⑶Results——The results of standardized parameter estimation of the structural model and the Bootstrap test show that the perceived restorative environment of senior tourists has a significant positive impact on the restoration experience and positive emotions.The standardized path coefficients are 0.406(p<0.001)and 0.234(p<0.001).This shows that forest tourism has important and positive significance for the construction of psychological resources of senior tourists.The perceived restorative environment of senior tourists has no significant direct impact on well-being(p=0.177).The reason for this phenomenon may be that senior tourists have a strong attachment to the park,and have a higher perceived restorative environment.Both restoration experience and positive emotions have a significant positive effect on well-being,and the standardized path coefficients are 0.593(p<0.001)and 0.253(p<0.001).The perceived restorative environment of senior tourists can indirectly affect well-being through the complete mediation of the restoration experience,and theβ-value of the mediation effect is 0.241(p=0.002).In addition,positive emotions also play a completely mediating role in the positive impact of perceived restorative environment on well-being.Theβ-value of the mediating effect is 0.059(p=0.014).The study also found that the mediating effect of restoration experience is greater than positive emotions.This may be due to the fact that on the one hand,senior tourists can better control their emotions,thereby maintaining emotional stability;on the other hand,the pursuit of health is the main travel motivation and expectation of senior tourists.⑷Conclusions and Discussions——Based on the above research results,perceived restorative environment has no significant impact on the well-being of senior tourists,but it can indirectly affect well-being through the complete mediation effect of restoration experience and positive emotions.Therefore,in order to improve the well-being of senior tourists,this paper puts forward the following suggestions:First of all,forest parks are expected to improve the quality of tourism environment,to create attractive environment and to improve people's restorative environmental perception.Secondly,forest parks are suggested to provide different types and depth of forest tourism products,to improve the quality of activity experience in order to meet the health recovery needs of senior tourists.Finally,it is needed for forest parks to improve the management and service level,and to strengthen the positive emotions of senior tourists.
