Exploring the Personality Traits, Well-being and Perceived Risk of Slow Travelers-The case of Solo Female
慢遊幸福感、知覺風險和人格特質之探討－以獨旅女性為例
摘要
People recently are adopting a non-traditional approach to travel, emphasizing a slower pace, experiential richness, and a leisurely attitude towards the journey, commonly referred to as "slow travel." The changing status of women in society, marked by the rise of prominent female entrepreneurs and successful individuals, has contributed to a more equal and empowering environment for women. Women are increasingly engaging in solo travel, using it to seek physical and mental rejuvenation, and fulfill their holistic health needs. This behavior serves as both a response to past societal constraints and an expression of female independence and autonomy. This study aims to investigate the impact of solo slow travel on women's well-being, perceived risk, and personality traits. The fundamental premise of this research is that slow and contemplative travel provides individuals, especially women, with opportunities and space for reflection, tranquility, and personal growth during the fast-paced modern life. This study employs an online questionnaire survey distributed through social media platforms collecting total 206 valid responses, data analysis is conducted using SPSS 20.0. Study reveals that women engaging in solo slow travel generally experience higher levels of well-being. This outcome may be attributed to the autonomy, adventure, and novel experiences provided by travel, contributing to increased life satisfaction and overall wellbeing among women. Despite the existence of risks, such as safety concerns, most women effectively manage these risks by pre-planning and implementing precautionary measures, thus mitigating perceived risks. Women with adventurous spirits, autonomy, and an open mindset exhibit a greater inclination toward solo slow travel. Additionally, these women may possess enhanced stress-coping abilities, enabling them to better enjoy the process of solo travel while effectively navigating challenges and difficulties. The findings suggest that government authorities can formulate tailored travel policies by gaining a deeper understanding of the potential benefits associated with slow travel. Such policies would support and encourage this mode of travel while concurrently increasing local residents' awareness, fostering sustainable development, and stimulating economic growth in tourist destinations. Travel operators are encouraged to actively promote travel itineraries related to solo slow travel, emphasizing its core characteristics to enhance consumer awareness of this travel style. Consumers, in turn, are encouraged to assess their suitability for solo slow travel, understand the expected happiness derived from such experiences, and recognize perceptual risks during the travel process, ultimately contributing to more meaningful and enriching travel experiences.

為因應當代工作環境的挑戰和高壓條件，人們開始採用非傳統的旅遊方式，強調更緩慢的節奏、體驗豐富性，以及對旅程的悠閒態度，這一獨特的旅行方式被冠以“慢遊”之名。隨著時代的演進和社會的現代化發展，女性的地位逐漸上升，而她們透過獨自旅遊追求身心休息和恢復，以滿足對全面健康的需求。本研究旨在探討女性獨自慢遊、幸福感、知覺風險和獨特的人格特質之間的影響。本研究的基本前提是，慢、深思熟慮的旅遊方式為個體，提供了反思、尋求寧靜以及在當代生活節奏快節奏中促進個人成長的機會和空間。本研究採用問卷網路調查並在社群媒體發放問卷，共計回收206份有效問卷以SPSS 20.0進行資料的分析。研究發現獨自慢遊的女性因為旅行提供了自主性、探險和新奇的體驗，有助於提升女性的生活滿意度和幸福感。雖然獨自慢遊存在一些風險，如安全問題。但大多數女性在旅行前做好了相應的計劃和防範措施，可降低知覺風險。而具有冒險精神、自主性和開放心態的女性更傾向於獨自慢遊。政府部門可以透過深入瞭解獨自慢遊的潛在益處，制定相應的旅遊政策，促進旅遊目的地的可持續發展和經濟增長。旅遊業者可以積極推廣獨自慢遊相關的旅遊行程，宣傳慢遊的核心特點。對於消費者則可以更深入地了解自身是否適合進行獨自慢遊，以及預期可能獲得的幸福感和旅遊過程中的知覺風險，促進更有意義和豐富的旅行體驗。
