Abstract

ABSTRACT Much of the survey research on religion/spirituality and mental health in the U.S. must be assumed to capture stable respondent traits when it is possible temporary states are actually being recorded. The smartphone-based experience sampling method (ESM) in the SoulPulse Study, which collected data twice a day for two weeks, allows an opportunity to examine this problem further by assessing state (single moment) and trait (two-week average) scores of daily spiritual experiences (DSE) as moderators of a daily stressor checklist, depressive symptoms, and flourishing (a well-being indicator that addresses happiness, life satisfaction, meaning and purpose, virtue, close social relationships, etc.). Findings indicate robust direct associations between stressors, DSE, and well-being, as well as substantial support for the moderating role of state and trait daily spiritual experiences. The study: 1) demonstrates that DSE may serve as a buffer against daily stressors at both the trait and state levels, 2) provides further evidence for flourishing as a holistic indicator of well-being, and 3) indicates that ESM methodologies can add to our understanding of human well-being.

日常精神体验能调节压力源对心理健康的影响吗？基于智能手机的抑郁症状和繁荣体验抽样研究

在美国，许多关于宗教/灵性和心理健康的调查研究必须被假设为捕捉稳定的被调查者特征，而实际上可能记录的是临时状态。在SoulPulse研究中，基于智能手机的体验抽样方法(ESM)每天收集两次数据，持续两周，通过评估每日精神体验(DSE)的状态(单时刻)和特征(两周平均)分数，作为每日压力源清单、抑郁症状和繁荣(一种幸福指标，涉及幸福、生活满意度、意义和目的、美德、亲密的社会关系、等等)。研究结果表明，压力源、DSE和幸福感之间存在强大的直接联系，并有力地支持了状态和特质日常精神体验的调节作用。该研究表明:1)在特质和状态层面上，DSE可以作为对日常压力源的缓冲;2)为繁荣作为幸福的整体指标提供了进一步的证据;3)表明ESM方法可以增加我们对人类幸福的理解。
