Abstract
Many people today suffer from stress originated from diseases, daily life, workplace, or environmental pollution. People want a comfortable and stable life along with physical and mental relaxation. As the number of people pursuing a comfortable life increases, terms of well-being and wellness have become more common, and wellness-related industries are also developing. Among the wellness and well-being industries, the wellness entertainment contents are one of the highest growing industries. This study aims to investigate how wellness contents contribute to improving the psychological well-being level of users through the mediating effect of telepresence in online. Specifically, this study suggests a hypothesized research model on the influence of online wellness entertainment content, which consists of sensory-, emotional-, and cognitive-attributes, on telepresence, followed by psychological well-being and word-of-mouth. With an empirical test using data on the experience of meditation app experience for 305 people, the result showed that the hypotheses in the research model were supported. The result of this study showed that wellness content induces users' telepresence and word-of-mouth, suggesting that wellness contents are needed to develop into a profit model rather than being limited to simple mental and physical stability.
