Abstract
Traveling is good for people because of positive outcomes, and tourists used regulation strategies to manage emotions for the purpose of maximizing these positive outcomes. However, it is unclear what specific strategies should be used for a select positive emotion. This study is aimed to examine the relationship between select positive emotions and their corresponding regulation strategies used during vacation. Using travel diaries, study findings revealed what corresponding regulatory strategies were used for each of seven positive emotions examined in this study. For example, to regulate the positive emotion of joy, tourists used strategies of Expressive Suppression, Stimulus Control, Savoring, Replaying, and Behavioral Activation. Results are valuable to understand how individuals use regulation strategies for select positive emotions, which might influence the positive outcomes out of their vacation, as well as provide significant managerial implications to the travel industry.
