Summary:博士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 體育學系 === 103 === Based on the adventure experience paradigm, AEP, of adventure recreation participants, this study aims at discussing the relationships among harmonious passion, obsessive passion, and flow experience. Furthermore, it also discusses the moderator roles of perceived risk among the variables. The subjects of this study were mountaineering activity participants, and data were collected by questionnaire survey. Convenience sampling method was applied on the first pre-test stage to choose 100 mountaineering participants randomly in each trailhead of the 3 major national parks, Yushan, Shei-Pa, and Taroko, 300 mountaineering participants in total in this survey. The second stage was the formal questionnaires collected from 200 participants respectively in these three national parks. There were 584 valid questionnaires out of 600 respondents, with the return rate of 97.33%.The results were as the followings: 1)Most of the mountaineering participants in Taiwan area were male, single, and young adults with university or college education degree and occupations in business and service industries. Mountaineering activity participating behavior was accompanied mostly with family, relatives, colleagues or club partners. More than half of the participants take part in mountaineering clubs. 2)The marriage status, ages, education degree, average monthly income, and living area were important variables which influence passion, flow experience, and perceived risk.3)This study proved that dualistic passion characteristics, inclusive of harmonious passion and obsessive passion, exist at the same time, and both of them affect flow experience positively. 4)Either harmonious or obsessive passion of mountaineering activity participants has positive influence on flow experience which contains flow and peak experience. 5)The perceived risk of mountaineering activity participants plays the moderator role on the flow dimension of dualistic passions (harmonious and obsessive) and flow experience. Based on the research results, this study suggests that recreation participants should figure out their own passion tendency and choose proper recreation activities to have positive recreation experiences. Simultaneously, if they choose a compatible recreation activity according to the recreation environment, climate, knowledge, and skills, they can build up the leisure community to exchange, learn and increase their activity knowledge and skills. Besides, this study also suggests that the government and private industry should plan various outdoor recreation environments to provide participants more abundant recreation experience.
