Abstract

Recent work has identified different experience types, including experience classifications of ordinary, memorable, meaningful, and transformative. This study further clarifies the experience typology through qualitative data analysis of each experience type. Data analysis identified that within each extraordinary experience type, additional subtypes were present. Experience types and subtypes were organized according to the experience typology continuum into a 10-item Experience Impact Scale (EIS), as no instrument to measure experience types or experience impact was available. An expert panel was used to determine the representativeness of the items in the EIS and to provide content-related evidence of validity. Discussion of the findings and future recommendations regarding the scale are provided.

摘要

最近的工作已经确定了不同的体验类型，包括普通、难忘、有意义和变革性的体验分类。本研究通过对每种体验类型的定性数据分析，进一步阐明了体验类型学。数据分析发现，在每种非凡体验类型中，都存在额外的子类型。经验类型和子类型根据经验类型学连续体组织成 10 项经验影响量表 (EIS)，因为没有测量经验类型或经验影响的工具。专家小组用于确定 EIS 中项目的代表性，并提供与内容相关的有效性证据。提供了有关该规模的调查结果和未来建议的讨论。
