Introduction

Travel behavior research has only started to address how travel affects emotional wellbeing. The development of measurement methods is an important goal of this research.

Methods

A review and assessment of methods of measuring travel-related emotional wellbeing is presented guided by a conceptual framework specifying what is measured (cognitive evaluations, emotional responses, or moods), the way it is measured (proactively, instantaneously, or retrospectively), and when it is measured (before, during, or after travel). Anticipated, current, residual and recalled moods are the objects of the measurement. Only studies of commuting or other types of daily travel are addressed.

Results

We find that no research has measured anticipated moods, some research has measured current moods before, after and during travel, and most research has measured recalled moods.

Conclusions

The most valid and reliable method is to measure current mood instantaneously at several points in time, before, during, and after travel. A measure of emotional wellbeing can then be obtained by objective aggregation. An approximate more feasible method is to retrospectively measure recalled moods for a given specified time period that may not only include travel. The available methods for measuring recalled moods have acceptable psychometric properties but research is needed to validate these methods by comparing the results to an objective aggregation of instantaneous measures of current mood at different points in time.

审查和评估与旅行有关的情绪健康的自我报告

介绍

出行行为研究只是开始解决出行如何影响情绪健康的问题。测量方法的发展是本研究的重要目标。

方法

在概念框架的指导下，对测量与旅行有关的情绪幸福感的方法进行了审查和评估，该框架规定了测量的内容（认知评估，情绪反应或情绪），测量的方式（主动，即时或回顾性），以及在何时测量（旅行之前，期间或之后）。预期的，当前的，残留的和回忆的情绪是测量的对象。仅研究通勤或其他类型的日常旅行。

结果

我们发现，没有研究能够测量预期的情绪，一些研究测量了旅行之前，之后和期间的当前情绪，并且大多数研究都测量了回忆的情绪。

结论

最有效和最可靠的方法是在旅行之前，之中和之后的几个时间点即时测量当前情绪。然后可以通过客观汇总获得情感幸福感的度量。一种更可行的近似方法是在给定的指定时间段内回顾性地测量召回的情绪，这可能不仅包括旅行。用来测量回忆情绪的可用方法具有可接受的心理测量特性，但需要进行研究以通过将结果与不同时间点当前情绪的瞬时量度的客观汇总进行比较来验证这些方法。
