  • This study used a quasi-experimental method to investigate if both travel involvement and the degree of recall of a traumatic event affect subjective well-being. For this, independent variables such as positive affect, negative affect, and life satisfaction were established. Four waves of data collection were performed with two to three weeks intervals, then the collected longitudinal data were analysed by repeated measure ANOVA. The study results indicated that travel involvement increases positive affect and life satisfaction, with the effect lasting four weeks or more, which means that travel is an effective tool to boost subjective well-being. Respondents who thought about a traumatic event more frequently had a much higher negative affect following the disaster, and such increased negative affect was maintained over seven weeks or longer. Therefore, this study finds that negative events produce larger, more consistent, or more lasting effects than positive events. As well as travel participation, visiting an urban park is a pleasurable experience. Therefore, the study also finds that urban parks could be utilized for increasing and maintaining subjective well-being in the middle and long term as well as lessening personal stress.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate three different perceptions based on major 23 part planning attributes. These party planning attributes were categorized using exploratory factor analysis. Three groups of respondents were identified based on the sample data; the first group is a group of people experienced parties before, the second group is a group of people intended to attend parties in near future, and the third group is a group of people who want to be a party planner. Respondents participated in this study express their own perceptions on party-planning attributes. The study shows that the perceptions of respondents were significantly different from each other. Particularly, prospective party planners emphasize on artistic attributes, such as harmony between dishes and foods or between the party concept and foods. However, party attendees more importantly considered other attributes, including the event suitable to the party type, places held a party. The research suggests that understanding party attendees' perception will provide useful information to develop party events that can reflect customers' desires.
