Abstract

Purpose in life is associated with less pain intensity when measured between-person. The present research used a micro-longitudinal study to examine the dynamic, within-person association between purpose and pain in daily life. Participants (N = 303; M_age = 51.71, range 40-70) reported on their purpose and pain three times a day for 8 days. Multilevel modeling indicated that in moments when participants felt more purpose-driven than their average, they had less pain (b = -0.03, SE = 0.008, p < 0.001), and in moments when participants reported more pain than their average, they felt less purpose-driven (b = -0.07, SE = 0.02, p < 0.001), controlling for sociodemographic, temporal, and contextual covariates. Dynamic structural equation modeling indicated no lagged effects to the next measurement occasion in either direction. This pattern suggests that purpose and pain are dynamically related within person in the moment but not across measurement occasions. Experimental studies are now needed to evaluate the causal effects of purpose on pain and pain on purpose.

生活目标与日常生活疼痛强度之间的短暂和滞后关联。

在人与人之间进行测量时，生活目标与较轻的疼痛强度有关。本研究采用微观纵向研究来考察日常生活中目标与疼痛之间的动态、内在联系。参与者（N = 303; Mage = 51.71，范围40-70）报告他们的目标和疼痛，每天三次，持续8天。多水平模型表明，当参与者感到目标驱动比平均水平更高时，他们的痛苦更少(b = -0.03, SE = 0.008, p b = -0.07, SE = 0.02, p

期刊介绍： ournal of Health Psychology is an international peer-reviewed journal that aims to support and help shape research in health psychology from around the world. It provides a platform for traditional empirical analyses as well as more qualitative and/or critically oriented approaches. It also addresses the social contexts in which psychological and health processes are embedded. Studies published in this journal are required to obtain ethical approval from an Institutional Review Board. Such approval must include informed, signed consent by all research participants.
