Abstract

Everyday well-being appraisals are judgments about the goodness of recent daily life events. These appraisals are expected to be distinct from other types of well-being involving traits, affect, and psychological distress and expected to be uniquely important for understanding health behavior such as exercise, diet, and treatment adherence for people with medical conditions. To develop and test a new Everyday Wellbeing Appraisal Scale, two studies were conducted in which a total of 718 people with hypertension completed online questionnaires. In Study 1, to achieve maximum validity with the fewest number of items, an empirical analysis was used to select a set of six items with high discrimination that incorporated multiple types of response-option formats. In Study 2, the scale's unidimensional factor structure and high discrimination were confirmed, and the new scale outperformed several existing types of well-being scales in its ability to explain unique variance in health behavior criterion variables. Specifically, it explained unique variance in health behavior after controlling for a widely used measure assessing trait-level reflections of well-being, as well as measures of positive affect and two types of psychological distress. Also, when compared to the trait-level measure of well-being, the new scale demonstrated less overlap with affect and psychological distress. These results suggest that this brief, new scale is valuable for assessing a distinct construct that is especially salient for understanding health behavior.

日常幸福感评估量表:评估一种与高血压患者健康行为独特相关的主观幸福感。
日常幸福感评价是对近期日常生活事件好坏的判断。这些评价与涉及特征、情感和心理困扰的其他类型的幸福感不同,对于理解健康行为(如运动、饮食和坚持治疗)具有独特的重要性。为了开发和测试新的日常幸福感评估量表,我们进行了两项研究,共有 718 名高血压患者完成了在线问卷调查。在研究 1 中,为了用最少的项目达到最大的效度,我们采用了经验分析法来选择一组具有高区分度的六个项目,其中包含多种类型的回答选项格式。在研究 2 中,量表的单维因子结构和高区分度得到了证实,新量表在解释健康行为标准变量的独特变异方面优于现有的几种幸福感量表。具体来说,在控制了一种广泛使用的评估幸福感特质水平反映的量表以及积极情感和两种心理困扰的量表之后,新量表还能解释健康行为的独特变异。此外,与幸福感的特质水平测量相比,新量表与情感和心理困扰的重叠较少。这些结果表明,这个简短的新量表对于评估一个独特的结构很有价值,而这个结构对于理解健康行为尤为重要。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有)。
