The authors surveyed retired persons (predominately women) with regard to their immediate, intermediate, and long-range activities following retirement. As predicted, leisure travel emerged as a frequent long-range goal for persons retired more than 5 years. The travel activity preferences of long-retired older women present challenges and opportunities to both researchers and marketers. Length of trips and frequency of trips have been predicted from regression models, with trip length in particular being well predicted by the problem of daily life hassles. A theoretical model of continued post-retirement travel is presented as a variant of Solomon's opponent process theory of affect (R. L. Solomon, 1980). The authors suggest that to the degree that places traveled to are varied and different, older people may remain stimulated and continue to enjoy retirement.
作者对退休人员（主要是女性）退休后的近期、中期和长期活动进行了调查。正如所预测的那样，休闲旅行成为退休超过5年的人的一个常见长期目标。长期退休的老年女性的旅行活动偏好给研究人员和营销人员带来了挑战和机遇。通过回归模型预测了旅行长度和旅行频率，特别是旅行长度能很好地通过日常生活烦恼问题进行预测。本文提出了一个退休后持续旅行的理论模型，作为所罗门情感对立过程理论（R.L.所罗门，1980年）的一个变体。作者认为，就旅行目的地的多样性和差异性而言，老年人可能会持续受到刺激并继续享受退休生活。
