In three studies we use a novel self-report method to show that seeing oneself as a major versus minor character within one’s own life story significantly impacts well-being both prospectively and retrospectively.

A national US sample of 184 adults completed baseline measures and 14 daily surveys. Multilevel modeling revealed the relevance of daily religious behaviors (rather than trait religiousness) for daily affect. In general, daily religious behaviors showed salutary main effects on daily affect and buffered associations of daily stresses and uplifts on affect. In contrast, trait religiousness showed weak or null main effects and did not buffer associations between stresses/uplifts and affect. Notably, some associations between daily religious behaviors and affect were stronger for individuals higher in trait religiousness. Item-level analyses showed that most religious behaviors had similar associations as composite daily religious behaviors in predicting positive affect, whereas only specific daily religious behaviors predicted negative affect. Findings suggest future research might profitably attend to daily religious behaviors to further understand how religiousness influences emotional wellbeing.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48406,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Personality","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 104499"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141137656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
