情感和流动性是近年来人文地理学关注的热点议题。旅游者情感体验日渐受到人文地理学的关注。目前，学界对大尺度流动型旅行者（长距离、多节点、强流动性、注重“在路上”、旅行时间长）情感体验的研究还较为欠缺，鲜见对大尺度流动型旅行者情感体验时空差异及其影响机制的研究。本项目基于人文地理学研究人地关系与人地互动的传统，在情感地理学和流动性视角下，以自助入藏旅行者为研究对象，综合运用多种数据收集手段/来源（文献收集、地理统计数据、深度访谈、网络文本、日志调查、问卷调查、生理情感测量等）与分析手段（扎根理论、结构方程模型、非参数检验等），综合测量大尺度流动型旅行者的情感体验（生理情感和道德情感），分析情感体验的时空差异特征，并从中介效应机制、无中介效应机制两方面对时空差异的影响机制进行理论解释。本项目将丰富和推进国内情感地理学和流动性的研究，并为大尺度流动型旅行者的情感调节及人地关系调控提供科学依据。

Emotion and mobility are both heatedly discussed topics in recent human geography studies. Meanwhile, tourist emotional experience has received increasing attentions in human geography. However, there still lacks systematic investigations into the temporal-spatial differences and influencing mechanisms regarding the emotional experience of large-scale mobility travelers. This research project, following human geography’s tradition of studying human-nature relations and human-nature interactions and its recent trend in studying emotion and mobility, aims to systematically investigate the emotional experience of large-scale mobility travelers, with independent travelers toward Tibet as objects of study. This project adopts multiple approaches to data collection (i.e., literature collection, geographic statistics, in-depth interview, web-based content collection, real-time questionnaire survey, and physiological measurement of emotions) and data analysis (i.e., grounded theory, Structural Equation Modelling, and nonparametric test). By employing the aforementioned methods, this project comprehensively measures the temporal-spatial differences of the emotional experience of large-scale mobility travelers and explains the temporal-spatial differences from the following two aspects: mechanism with mediation, mechanism without mediation. This research program is believed to be able to enrich existing theoretical literature on emotional geographies and mobility and will contribute to the regulations on both the emotions and human-nature relations of large-scale mobility travelers.
