Abstract

Groups have their health and well-being impacted by satisfying their members' needs and providing resources to help cope with threats. Multiple group memberships serve to accumulate these benefits and also provide resilience to the effects of group loss. However, the additional well-being benefits of belonging to multiple different types of group remain to be determined. In a preregistered cross-sectional survey in Nottingham, England (Study 1, N = 328), we found that group-type diversity predicted well-being and that this effect was fully serially mediated by increased creative self-efficacy, then reduced loneliness. To confirm our hypothesis in a more robust sample we conducted longitudinal analyses on the English Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSA) dataset (Study 2, N = 5,838) finding that group-type diversity at time one (T1) predicted well-being at T2 (4 years later), even when accounting for wellbeing and loneliness at T1. We discuss the implications for enhancing group-based health interventions.

群体成员的多样性预测幸福：横截面和纵向证据。

团体通过满足成员的需求和提供资源来帮助应对威胁，从而影响他们的健康和福祉。多个团体成员资格有助于积累这些好处，并为团体损失的影响提供弹性。然而，属于多种不同类型群体的额外福利仍有待确定。在英国诺丁汉进行的一项预先登记的横断面调查中（研究1，N=328），我们发现群体类型的多样性可以预测幸福感，而这种影响完全是由创造力自我效能感的增加和孤独感的减少所连续介导的。为了在一个更稳健的样本中证实我们的假设，我们对英国老龄化纵向研究（ELSA）数据集（研究2，N=5838）进行了纵向分析，发现时间一（T1）的群体类型多样性预测了T2（4年后）的幸福感，即使考虑了T1的幸福感和孤独感。我们讨论了加强基于群体的健康干预的影响。
