摘要

人们可以选择快乐吗?对于这个古老的问题,我们至今没有确切的答案。在本文中,我们引入并测试了一个新的追求幸福的理论模型,在这个模型中,我们整合了个人幸福定义、与幸福相关的意向以及提升幸福感的活动。此外,我们还测试了幸福感提升活动的不同特征,这些特征在之前的文献中被讨论为与成功追求幸福的潜在相关性:幸福感提升活动的广度(即一项活动对幸福感的多少个不同方面产生积极影响)、多样性(即人们在日常生活中开展了多少种不同的幸福感提升活动)和频率(即总体数量)。经验取样研究(N = 473;2815 个日常数据点)的结果支持了我们预先登记的假设:个人对幸福的定义可以预测日常生活中与幸福相关的意图和行为。此外,参与范围更广、数量更多的幸福感提升活动与更高水平的日常生活幸福感相关。然而,幸福感提升活动的多样性并不能预测日常幸福感。总之,我们证明了以多方面的方式定义和追求幸福与较高的幸福感有关。

The complexity of the pursuit of happiness is associated with the success of well-being related behaviors in everyday life
Can people choose to be happy? To date we have no definite answer to this very old question. In this paper, we introduced and tested a new theoretical model of the pursuit of happiness in which we integrated individual happiness definitions, happiness-related intentions, and happiness-enhancing activities. Further, we tested different characteristics of happiness-enhancing activities that have previously been discussed in the literature as potentially relevant for the successful pursuit of happiness: the breadth (i.e., how many different facets of happiness are positively affected by one single activity), variety (i.e., how many different happiness-enhancing activities people conduct in daily life), and frequency (i.e., overall number) of happiness-enhancing activities. The results of an experience sampling study ( N = 473; 2815 daily-level data points) support our preregistered hypotheses: Individual definitions of happiness were predictive of intentions and well-being related behaviors in everyday life. Further, the engagement in broader and a higher number of happiness-enhancing activities was associated with higher levels of daily well-being. The variety of happiness-enhancing activities, however, did not predict daily well-being. Overall, we demonstrated that defining and pursuing happiness in a multifaceted manner is related to higher levels of well-being.
