情感考量如何影响世界各地人们的日常决策？为了回答这个问题，我们要求245名日本成年人和229名美国成年人使用“日再现法”报告他们在前一天做了什么和感觉如何。然后，我们研究了给定时间（时间）的情感效价与人们在稍后时间（时间+ 1）所从事的活动类型之间的关系。虽然我们发现日本和美国参与者在日常活动中体验到的愉快或不愉快的类型存在一些文化差异，但时间滞后的多层次逻辑回归显示，两组人在感觉不好的时候都表现出非常相似的倾向，即从事增强快乐的活动，而在感觉良好的时候则从事可能带来长期回报的不太愉快的活动。这些结果为人类动机的享乐灵活性原则提供了跨文化支持，根据该原则，情感状态帮助人们在日常生活中优先考虑短期和长期的幸福目标。
How do affective considerations shape people’s everyday decisions around the world? To address this question, we asked 245 Japanese and 229 American adults to report what they did and how they felt on the previous day using the Day Reconstruction Method. We then examined how affective valence at a given time (timet) related to the types of activities people engaged in at a later time (timet+ 1). While we found some cultural variation in the types of daily activities Japanese and American participants experienced as pleasant or unpleasant, time-lagged multilevel logistic regressions revealed that both groups displayed a remarkably similar propensity to engage in pleasure-enhancing activities when they felt bad and in less-pleasant activities that might promise longer-term payoff when they felt good. These results provide cross-cultural support for thehedonic flexibility principleof human motivation, according to which affective states help people prioritize between short- and longer-term well-being goals in their everyday life.
