在数字时代守护宁静：正念作为对社交媒体引起的老年游客心理不适的缓冲
Guarding serenity in the digital age: mindfulness as a buffer against social media-induced psychological discomfort in older tourists.
摘要(中文译文)
尽管社交媒体丰富了老年游客的旅行体验，但其心理层面的负面影响仍缺乏充分研究。现有文献主要聚焦于青年群体的社交媒体疲劳或老年人的物理性数字鸿沟。本研究植根于资源保存理论（COR），旨在填补上述研究空白，探讨社交媒体诱发的旅行焦虑（SMITA）的内在心理机制、其与资源损失及老年人内心宁静之间的关联，以及正念的调节作用。研究采用定量横截面设计，收集了560名中国老年游客的问卷数据，并通过结构方程模型（SEM）和Bootstrap重抽样进行分析。SMITA通过两条并行的资源损失链式中介路径损害内心宁静：认知-情绪路径（SMITA→认知疲劳→情绪耗竭）和焦虑-意志力路径（SMITA→广泛性焦虑→自我损耗）。SMITA对广泛性焦虑（β=0.584，p<0.001）和认知疲劳（β=0.551，p<0.001）具有强烈预测作用；二者均增加心理不适，进而降低内心宁静（β=-0.507，p<0.001）。正念显著缓解心理不适与内心宁静之间的负相关关系（交互项β=-0.268，p<0.001）。在理论上，本研究通过揭示数字老龄化背景下的双重资源损失机制，拓展了COR理论。在实践上，本研究为旅游业设计低认知负荷的数字服务以及部署正念干预措施以维护老年游客的内心平静提供了可操作的策略。
Abstract
While social media enriches senior tourists' travel experiences, its psychological adverse impacts remain understudied. Existing literature mainly focuses on youth social media fatigue or older adults' physical digital divide. Rooted in Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this study fills the research gap by exploring the internal psychological mechanisms of Social Media-Induced Travel Anxiety (SMITA), its linkage with resource loss and seniors' serenity, and the moderating effect of mindfulness. A quantitative cross-sectional design was adopted. Survey data were collected from 560 Chinese senior tourists and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Bootstrap resampling. SMITA impairs serenity via two parallel serial mediation paths of resource loss: the cognitive-emotional path (SMITA → Cognitive Fatigue → Emotional Exhaustion) and the anxiety-willpower path (SMITA → Generalized Anxiety → Self-Depletion). SMITA strongly predicts generalized anxiety ( = 0.584, < 0.001) and cognitive fatigue ( = 0.551, < 0.001); both factors increase psychological discomfort, which further reduces serenity ( = -0.507, < 0.001). Mindfulness significantly mitigates the negative correlation between psychological discomfort and serenity (interaction = -0.268, < 0.001). Theoretically, this research expands COR theory by revealing dual resource-loss mechanisms in the digital aging context. Practically, it offers actionable strategies for the tourism industry to design low-cognitive-load digital services and deploy mindfulness interventions to maintain the inner peace of older adults tourists.
