ABSTRACT

This study examines the exercise goal pursuits of tourists participating in physical fitness programmes at exercise-oriented tourism resorts (EOTRs). This study draws on goal content theory (GCT), which examines the goals that individuals engage in and how such engagements, whether extrinsic or intrinsic, varyingly relate to the notion of well-being. The questionnaire on goal contents related to exercise was administered at three EOTRs, located in the southwestern United States. The findings indicate that participants attached higher importance to intrinsic goals such as health management and skill development. The valuing of intrinsic exercise-related goals is positively related elevated levels of well-being and autonomous motivation.

摘要

本研究考察了以运动为导向的旅游胜地（EOTR）参加身体健身计划的游客对运动目标的追求。这项研究基于目标内容理论（GCT），该理论研究了个人参与的目标以及这种参与（无论是外在的还是内在的）如何与幸福感有不同的联系。有关与运动有关的目标内容的调查表是在位于美国西南部的三个EOTR处进行的。研究结果表明，参与者更加重视内在目标，例如健康管理和技能开发。与内在锻炼相​​关的目标的价值与幸福感和自主动机的升高呈正相关。
