假设参与更多积极起源活动的学生会比参与较少此类活动的学生更满意他们的生活,并且两者都会比控制学生更满意。在完成了一系列的问卷调查,包括生活事件清单,3组大学生从141人的池中选择,并给予指示,要么(a)从事12个活动,从一个自我选择的列表中的愉快的活动,(B)从事2个活动,从该列表中,或(c)返回1个月后重新测试。然后对学生进行事件愉悦度测试、事件频率测试、感知生活质量量表、贝克抑郁量表和54项症状检查表。协方差分析显示,指示从事2或12愉快的活动的SS报告更大的愉快和更高的生活质量比对照组,有没有组间的精神困扰的报告差异。先前的负面生活变化被视为设计中的一个因素,并被发现与活动指示相互作用:报告许多先前的负面变化的学生表现出更少的精神痛苦沿着更大的愉快时,指示从事12项活动,而不是2或没有。结果表明,愉快的活动增加了幸福感的积极方面,但可能会减少痛苦,只有经历相当大的生活压力的人。(28参考)(PsycINFO数据库记录(c)2016阿帕,保留所有权利)
Hypothesized that Ss who engaged in more positive origin activities would rate their lives as more satisfying than Ss who engaged in fewer such activities, and both would be more satisfied than control Ss. After completing a series of questionnaires including a life-event inventory, 3 groups of college students were selected from a pool of 141 and given instructions either to (a) engage in 12 activities from a self-selected list of pleasurable activities,(b) engage in 2 activities from that list, or (c) return after 1 mo for retesting only. Ss were then given a pleasantness-of-events test, an event-frequency test, the Perceived Quality of Life Scale, the Beck Depression Inventory, and a 54-item Symptom Check List. Covariance analyses revealed that Ss instructed to engage in either 2 or 12 pleasurable activities reported greater pleasantness and a higher quality of life than controls; there were no differences between groups on reports of psychiatric distress. Prior negative life change was treated as a factor in the design and was found to interact with the activity instructions: Ss reporting many prior negative changes exhibited less psychiatric distress along with greater pleasantness when instructed to engage in 12 activities rather than 2 or none. Results suggest that pleasant activities increase positive aspects of well-being in general, but may reduce distress only for people experiencing considerable life stress.(28 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
