This study adopts PERMA as the theoretical lens to analyze the influence of neophobia (reluctance to try new food) and enduring involvement on travelers' perceptions of the contribution of authentic food experiences to their well‐being. Based on a survey of international visitors to Iran, the results show that authentic food experiences are strongly associated with positive emotions and meaningfulness of a trip. Higher food involvement and lower neophobia are associated with stronger perceptions that authentic food experiences contribute to well‐being. Furthermore, this study demonstrates the applicability of the PERMA model for understanding multiple dimensions of well‐being emanating from tourism experiences.

恐新症和持久的食物参与对旅行者的幸福感的影响—来自伊朗的国际游客的证据

这项研究采用PERMA作为理论镜头来分析新恐惧症（不愿尝试新食品）和持久参与对旅行者对真实食品经历对他们的幸福感的贡献的影响的影响。根据对伊朗国际游客的调查，结果表明，真实的美食体验与旅行的积极情绪和有意义性密切相关。更高的食物参与度和更低的新恐惧症与更强的观念有关，即真实的食物经历有助于福祉。此外，本研究表明，PERMA模型可用于理解旅游经验所带来的幸福感的多个方面。
