一个动态系统的方法被用来模拟的个体内变异的情绪幸福以下的婚姻损失。幸福感在19个最近失去亲人的老年寡妇的样本进行了测量，每天3个月。幸福的可变性模式被假设为一个振荡过程，随着时间的推移而衰减（即，大的摆动之后是逐渐的阻尼）。结果表明，有显着的模式的变化，在情绪健康的调整，可以建模的线性振荡器模型（R-2 = 0.77），除了一个整体的积极趋势。应用动态系统分析捕捉变化和随后的幸福轨迹后，配偶损失是一个重要的步骤，在描绘复杂的调整丧偶。
A dynamical systems approach was used to model the intraindividual variability in emotional well-being following conjugal loss. Well-being in a sample of 19 recently bereaved older adult widows was measured every day for 3 months. The pattern of variability of well-being was hypothesized to be an oscillating process that damps across time (i.e., large swings followed by a gradual damping). Results indicated that there was significant patterned variability in the emotional well-being adjustment that can be modeled by a linear oscillator model (R-2 = .77), in addition to an overall positive trend. Applying dynamical systems analyses to capture variability and subsequent well-being trajectories following spousal loss is an important step in delineating the complex adjustment to widowhood.
