能动性和共融的努力是否提供了功能相似但预测独立的途径来增强福祉？我们通过对 493 名不同社区成年人进行为期一年的研究来测试这个想法。我们的过程模型基于自我决定和动机倾向理论，很好地拟合了数据。首先，对成就的需求预测了代理（工作和学校）角色目标的初始自主动机，而对亲密关系的需求则预测了对公共（关系和养育）目标的自主感。对于代理目标和公共目标，自主动机预测了相应的初始期望，而初始期望又预测了后来的目标实现。最后，每种类型的成就都预示着一年中调整或角色满意度的改善。除了在机构和社区之间相似之外，该模型在种族和性别之间也相似，不同之处在于，对于女性和黑人对亲密关系的高需求，实现共同目标的有益效果更强。讨论了代理/交流理论、动机理论和幸福理论的含义。
Do agency and communion strivings provide functionally similar but predictively independent pathways to enhanced well-being? We tested this idea via a year-long study of 493 diverse community adults. Our process model, based on self-determination and motive disposition theories, fit the data well. First, the need for achievement predicted initial autonomous motivation for agentic (work and school) role-goals and the need for intimacy predicted felt autonomy for communal (relationship and parenting) goals. For both agentic and communal goals, autonomous motivation predicted corresponding initial expectancies that predicted later goal attainment. Finally, each type of attainment predicted improved adjustment or role-satisfaction over the year. Besides being similar across agency and communion, the model was also similar across race and gender, except that the beneficial effects of communal goal attainment were stronger for high need for intimacy women and Blacks. Implications for agency/communion theories, motivation theories, and theories of well-being are discussed.
