“…With regard to theoretical approaches, our data confirm both the hypothesis of the negative impact of the media on the family life and also its positive benefits (e.g. Padilla-Wlker et al 2012;Torrecillas-lava et al 2017;Yu et al 2018). Note: The numbers in bold are the most significant discussed later in the text…”

“…Moreover, most of the participants reported that their partner ignores them and their children due to excessive time spent on Facebook." (Ünal 2018, 362) Another modern electronic medium was studied by Yu et al (2018), which pointed out at the role of smartphones in the field of family leisure time and, above all, at the level of common holidays. Leisure time is precisely what the family can use to improve family interaction and cohesion.…”

The chapter on media in family life highlights the aspects of lifestyle of contemporary families in the context of the saturation of households with modern means of communication, their usage and attitudes towards them. Considerable attention was paid to the issue of family-related media in current research, as evidenced by a wide range of studies and research surveys. This chapter is devoted to several partial aspects of this attention and is based on the data of two surveys. The first research is the European representative survey Eurobarometer 88 (Eurobarometer 2017), and the other one is our research on the Lifestyle of the Contemporary Family (further LSCF, 2012–2015). These data shows an extension of selected media facilities in families, their usage and media leisure time activities and attitudes towards media. The studied countries are in some respects very similar to each other (relatively strong media saturation of households, most common daily use of television and computers, positive perception of media as a way to facilitate communication and negotiation). In other respects (joint media activities, strength of perception of negative aspects of media, usage of media by parents and by children), the countries differ.

“…Para além de contribuírem para a experiência turística dos turistas, da sustentabilidade dos destinos e devido às suas características que permitem um ambiente colaborativo (Christino, Silva, Cardozo & Lopes, 2019), permitem melhorar a interação e a coesão familiar durante todas as etapas de uma viagem (Yu et al, 2018), que reforçam um sentido de união dentro do grupo familiar, que contribui para o bem-estar dos viajantes, enquanto mantêm a sua individualidade e vão ao encontro das suas preferências, bem como são um suporte para gestão e manutenção das memórias associadas à experiência turística.…”

“…O smartphone é cada vez mais um complemento de viagem, sendo considerando um acessório essencial. Este estudo permitiu concluir que os turistas recorrem a este tipo de dispositivo para consultar informação sobre os destinos e os pontos de interesse existentes ao longo do percurso da sua viagem, bem como recorrem a esta tecnologia para efetuar reservas e comunicar com amigos, familiares e outros viajantes, tal no estudo de Braga (2015), Wang et al (2012;, Yu et al (2018), entre outros. Uma das redes sociais mais utilizada é o TripAdvisor, seguindo-se o Google+ e o Facebook, para consultar informação sobre destinos turistiscos e seus pontos de interesse, bem como fotografias e comentários, tal como no estudo de Xiang e Gretzel (2010).…”

Atualmente, para os turistas, os smartphones são imprescindíveis para a realização de uma viagem, quer para procurar informação, quer para comunicar com os amigos e os familiares, neste sentido, o presente artigo pretende investigar a importância dos smartphones para a experiência associada à viagem turística. Foi elaborado e aplicado um questionário on-line, com o objetivo de averiguar a opinião dos utilizadores de smartphones sobre a importância deste tipo de tecnologia e de que forma é utilizada. Após recolha dos dados, procedeu-se à sua limpeza e verificação para detetar as respostas válidas; em seguida, foram aplicadas as ferramentas de Business Intelligence integradas no Microsoft Excel. Como resultados, obteve-se que os turistas consideram relevantes a utilização destes dispositivos, que os utilizam preferencialmente para consultar informações sobre o destino turístico e pontos de interesse, bem como a rede social que mais utilizam é o TripAdvisor.

“…to restore day and night, work and rest, learn the discipline of digitally disconnecting" (Global Wellness Summit, 2017, p.35). Technology such as smartphones can, however, enhance a vacation experience and foster family relationships, increase engagement and interaction while at a destination and also support recollection of memories (Yu, Anaya, Miao, Lehto & Wong, 2017). Even in the midst of technological advancements, the notions of wellness, restoration and transformation will increasingly be associated with tourism encounters.…”

Essays exploring the restorative potential, experiences and outcomes of spiritual retreats

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Spiritual retreats have a long history within various religious traditions, and in the twenty-first century also offer a potentially valuable experience to a much wider audience. Opportunities to get away from the busyness of life to rest, relax and restore balance are sought by individuals from many walks of life. Spiritual retreats involve separating from everyday life and entering a new temporary experience that enables restoration, transformation, healing, renewal and personal development. Technological advances and the ever-increasing information overload in all spheres of life make it increasingly difficult to disconnect from technology and work, balance leisure time with competing demands, and actively maintain psychological health. One important aspect in this regard that is often taken for granted is the capacity to direct attention. This capacity is highly susceptible to fatigue but is vital if we are to function effectively. It is therefore important that individuals are able to recover cognitive capacity so they can not only navigate but flourish in their context. Attention Restoration Theory posits that spending time in a restorative environment facilitates recovery from directed attention fatigue. Restoration is increasingly being recognized as an important outcome of religious tourism experiences and there is an expanding body of literature demonstrating the potential of religious and spiritual tourism to positively influence wellbeing. There has been minimal empirical investigation, however, into the restorative experiences and benefits of spiritual retreats and there is a lack of practical recommendations for designing retreats that foster wellbeing outcomes. This thesis, consisting of three interconnected essays, draws on Attention Restoration Theory as the underpinning framework to explore the restorative potential, experiences and outcomes of spiritual retreats. The religious vocation provides an apt context for this research as annual spiritual retreats are often included as part of the clergy support structure. Clergy within four Christian denominations in Australia who attended one of 17 retreats during 2016 were invited to participate in the research. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected using questionnaires before, at the conclusion of, and two weeks after the retreat to investigate if and how restorative outcomes occur and the factors that lead to immediate and continuing restorative outcomes. Follow-up interviews were also conducted with 30 participants to further explore the restorative experiences and outcomes of the retreat.
