愉快和有意义有时被看作是对立的追求。然而，过去的研究发现，对意义的追求往往会带来快乐。在四项纵向研究中——三项观察性研究，一项实验性研究，时间跨度从5周到18个月——我们研究了一个相反的过程，即特定的愉快状态可以培养生活的意义感。我们假设，积极共振的感知，一种以相互关怀和同步为特征的共同体验的积极影响形式，在当下被体验为特别有意义的，随着时间的推移，建立社会资源（例如，支持性关系和社区），培养持久的生活意义感。结果表明，感知到的积极共振与人与人之间和人与人之间的感知意义有关，这种联系独立于整体愉悦情绪和社会互动数量而出现。感知社会资源调节人与人之间的联系，感知社会资源的变化调节纵向联系。总的来说，这些发现表明，共同经历、关心和同步愉快的状态可能是唯一适合培养一个人的生活是有意义的感觉。（PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2023 APA，版权所有）
Pleasantness and meaningfulness are sometimes seen as opposing pursuits. Yet past research has found that the pursuit of meaning often leads to pleasure. In four longitudinal studies—three observational, one experimental, ranging from 5 weeks to 18 months—we investigated an inverse process, whereby specific kinds of pleasant states can foster a sense of meaning in life. We hypothesized that perceptions of positivity resonance, a form of coexperienced positive affect characterized by mutual care and synchrony, are experienced as particularly meaningful in the moment and, over time, build social resources (eg, supportive relationships and communities) that foster an enduring sense of meaning in life. Results indicate that perceived positivity resonance is associated with perceived meaning both between-and within-persons, links that emerge independently of overall pleasant emotion and social interaction quantity. Perceived social resources mediate between-persons links, and changes in perceived social resources mediate longitudinal links. Overall, these findings suggest that coexperienced, caring, and synchronous pleasant states may be uniquely suited to cultivating a person’s sense that life is meaningful.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
