ABSTRACT

This study has explored the structural relationships of seriousness in travel, positive psychological capital(Positive PsyCAP) for travel, and life satisfaction. Positive PsyCAP, the mediator between seriousness and life satisfaction, was adjusted and measured as an integrated psychological resource to perform effective travel behaviors. Seriousness was measured using a short scale according to 5 factors. These were perseverance, expert career, strong effort, strong identification, and unique ethos without durable benefits. A total of 652 data samples were collected using 349 college students and 303 ordinary adults were collected by snowballing method, and analyzed in terms of the fit index of structural model. The measurement scales for Positive PsyCAP and seriousness in travel have shown reliability and validities. Three path coefficients and the fit index for the structural model were also all significant. Two sub-samples showed similar results, although the path of the Positive PsyCAP to life satisfaction was not significant in the adult sample. Theoretical and practical implications of the results were discussed.
