亚里士多德的幸福论(eudaimonia)概念和享乐享受构成了两种关于幸福的哲学概念。开展了两项研究,研究对象包括本科生和研究生的混合样本(研究1,N = 209;研究2,N = 249),以确定这些概念的趋同和差异方面。正如预期的那样,个人表现力(幸福论)和享乐享受之间存在强烈的正相关。分析表明,在与活动相关的幸福的两种概念之间,对于以下变量存在显著差异:(a)满足的机会,(b)认知 - 情感成分的强度,(c)挑战水平,(d)技能水平,以及(e)重要性。因此,似乎幸福的两种概念是相关的但可区分的,并且个人表现力,而非享乐享受,是自我实现过程中成功的标志。
Aristotle's concept of eudaimonia and hedonic enjoyment constitute 2 philosophical conceptions of happiness. Two studies involving combined samples of undergraduate and graduate students (Study 1, N = 209; Study 2, N = 249) were undertaken to identify the convergent and divergent aspects of these constructs. As expected, there was a strong positive correlation between personal expressiveness (eudaimonia) and hedonic enjoyment. Analyses revealed significant differences between the 2 conceptions of happiness experienced in conjunction with activities for the variables of (a) opportunities for satisfaction, (b) strength of cognitive-affective components, (c) level of challenges, (d) level of skills, and (e) importance. It thus appears that the 2 conceptions of happiness are related but distinguishable and that personal expressiveness, but not hedonic enjoyment, is a signifier of success in the process of self-realization.
