여행의 치유경험, 주관적 웰빙, 그리고 삶의 질 간 구조적 분석

Abstract

This study attempted to investigate the influence of psychological healing experiences through travel on individuals' subjective well-being and quality of life. To achieve the purpose of this study, a field survey was conducted on Koreans with travel experiences within the past year, and a structural equation modeling analysis was conducted. As a result, hypothesis 1(emotional healing experience→subjective well-being) and hypothesis 4(cognitive healing experience→quality of life) were statistically significant. Specifically, the emotional healing experience through travel has a positive effect on subjective well-being, and the cognitive healing experience has a positive effect on quality of life. It was found that the two psychological healing experiences have a positive effect on those two variables, subjective well-being and quality of life respectively. As a result, it was confirmed that both emotional and cognitive healing experiences are important in improving an individual's well-being through healing-related travel experiences. In addition, since the influence relationship between subjective well-being and quality of life is not significant, it can be seen that it is necessary to discover evaluation factors that can contribute to improving an individual's quality of life through travel healing experiences. Academic and practical implications for this were discussed in more detail in the conclusion.
