以前的研究表明，高水平的生活满意度与各种生活领域的积极结果有关，但这些联系背后的机制在很大程度上还不清楚。在这篇文章中，我们认为生活满意度与激励结果相关，这可能解释了生活满意度对主要生活结果的积极影响。这一假设在7项相关的实验研究中得到了验证，这些研究考察了改变的愿望和目标定向作为动机和意志的结果。在整个研究中，生活满意度低的人报告说，与生活满意度高的人相比，他们更渴望改变自己的生活环境，更倾向于改变，对稳定的取向更弱，从统计上控制情绪。这些发现为生活满意度的动机后果提供了初步证据，并为生活满意度和情感之间的功能区别提供了越来越多的文献，从而有助于生活满意度的研究。此外，这些发现有助于动机科学，因为它们表明，动机过程不仅出现在存在的情况下，而且在一个人的期望和实际状态之间没有被察觉到的负面差异的情况下也是如此。总而言之，这些研究表明，生活满意度是激励人们通过采用个人目标来影响他们生活环境的一个重要因素。
Previous research indicates that high levels of life satisfaction are associated with positive outcomes in various life domains, but the mechanisms underlying these associations are largely unclear. In this article, we argue that life satisfaction is associated with motivational consequences that may explain its positive effects on major life outcomes. This hypothesis was tested in 7 correlational and experimental studies that examined desire for change and goal orientation as motivational and volitional outcomes. Across studies, people low in life satisfaction reported a greater desire to change their life circumstances as well as a greater orientation toward change and a weaker orientation toward stability than people high in life satisfaction, statistically controlling for affect. These findings contribute to life-satisfaction research by providing initial evidence on the motivational consequences of life satisfaction and adding to the growing literature on the functional distinction between life satisfaction and affect. Furthermore, these findings contribute to motivation science by showing that motivational processes do not just arise in the presence, but also in the absence of a perceived negative discrepancy between one’s desired and one’s actual state. Together, these studies suggest that life satisfaction is an important factor in motivating people to influence their life circumstances through the adoption of personal goals.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)
