Abstract:

In the current institutionalized society, the sense of time passing has become an important research topic. Although the positive emotions of leisure travelers may affect their sense of time passing, existing research has paid inadequate attention to this notion. This paper studies the influence of leisure travelers’ positive emotions on their sense of time passing and explores the moderating role of personality traits. 400 valid samples have been collected from a questionnaire and analyzed through the spss23.0 statistical software. The results show that, first, a sense of pleasure, activeness, thinking, and calmness resulting from positive emotions have a significantly positive impact on leisure travelers’ sense of time passing, which supports the general perception that “time flies much faster when people have fun and pleasure”; second, that extroversion plays a positive moderating role between positive emotions and a sense of time passing; and, finally, that a neurotic personality does not play a moderating role between positive emotions and a sense of time passing. It is hoped that the conclusion of this study may shed some light on the leisure behavior of people and the proper arrangement of time.

Key words: leisure, emotion, positive emotion, a sense of time passing, personality

摘要：

在时间制度化的当今社会,时间流逝感成为重要的研究课题。关于休闲者的积极情绪对时间流逝感的影响,已有研究较少对此进行关注。基于此,本文在研究休闲者的积极情绪对其时间流逝感影响的同时,进一步探索人格特质的调节作用。结果表明：（1）积极情绪中的愉悦性、活跃性、思量性、平静性对时间流逝感具有显著正向影响,验证了“幸福的时光总是飞逝而过”这一日常认知;（2）外倾性在积极情绪—时间流逝感之间起到正向调节作用;（3）神经质在积极情绪—时间流逝感之间不起调节作用。本文得出的研究结论对人们的休闲行为、时间安排具有一定启示。
