经验幸福感的措施，挖掘一个独特的形式的主观幸福感（SWB），并有不同的年龄相关的属性比更广泛的研究生活满意度的评价。与对整体生活质量的评估不同，经验性测量在情感反应发生后不久就捕捉到了情感反应。测量的最新进展允许包括这样的经验措施，即使在大规模的研究。然而，答卷人的负担仍然是一个令人关切的问题;因此，调查也采用了较短的经验模块。这些简短措施的心理测量特性还没有得到很好的理解。我们研究的心理特征，包括因素结构和相关性与理论上相关的标准，经验丰富的福祉措施包括在两个补充小组研究的收入动态（PSID）。第一个补充包括一个详细的时间日记，而第二个包括前一天的简短回顾。结果表明，详细的时间日记的情感体验的一个单一的指数提供了一个有用的总结个人的影响项目之间的关联，无论是内部和参与者之间。对于简化的方法，两个或更多的分量表更好地描述了潜在的结构。
Experienced well-being measures tap a distinct form of subjective well-being (SWB) and have different age-related properties than the more widely studied evaluations of life satisfaction. Unlike evaluations of the quality of life as a whole, experiential measures capture affective reactions soon after they occur. Recent advances in measurement have allowed for the inclusion of such experiential measures even in large-scale studies. However, respondent burden remains a concern; hence, surveys have also employed shorter experiential modules. The psychometric properties of these brief measures are not well understood. We examine the psychometric characteristics, including the factor structure and correlations with theoretically relevant criteria, of experienced wellbeing measures included in two supplements to the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). The first supplement included a detailed time diary whereas the second included a brief review of the prior day. Results show that for the detailed time diaries a single index of affective experience provides a useful summary of the associations among individual affect items, both within and between participants. For the abbreviated method, two or more subscales better describe the underlying structure.
