Drawing on identity development theory, this study examines the relationships between negative dark tourism transformative experiences (NDTTEs), self-reflection, self-rumination, self-discovery, and well-being to corroborate a model explaining how NDTTEs contribute to tourists’ well-being. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 684 tourists who had visited dark tourism sites over the past three years. Two constructs representing NDTTEs were identified (anger and disgust, pain and sadness), and the results indicated that NDTTEs were predictors of self-reflection and self-rumination. Unexpectedly, self-reflection negatively affected self-rumination. Self-reflection and self-rumination were determinants of self-discovery, which subsequently affected well-being. This study offers a new theoretical lens for understanding the role of dark tourism in promoting tourists’ well-being.

负面的黑暗旅游变革性体验能否促进游客的福祉？


本研究借鉴身份发展理论，探讨了负面黑暗旅游变革性体验 (NDTTE)、自我反省、自我反省、自我发现和幸福感之间的关系，以证实一个模型，解释 NDTTE 如何为游客的幸福感做出贡献。存在。对过去三年访问过黑暗旅游景点的 684 名游客进行了横断面调查。确定了代表 NDTTE 的两种结构（愤怒和厌恶、痛苦和悲伤），结果表明 NDTTE 是自我反省和自我反省的预测因子。出乎意料的是，自我反省对自我反省产生了负面影响。自我反省和自我反省是自我发现的决定因素，进而影响幸福感。这项研究为理解黑暗旅游在促进游客福祉方面的作用提供了新的理论视角。
