目的:积极(PA)和消极(NA)共同影响幸福感的程度尚不清楚。此外,关于情感在维持少数族裔和种族福祉方面的作用的研究还很少。当前的研究展示了如何使用多项式回归和响应面方法(PR 和 RSM)来更好地了解 PA 和 NA 如何共同影响压力和幸福感。 设计:在研究 1 中,291 名非裔美国本科生(Mage= 22.91,SD = 6.91;67% 女性)完成了情感和心理健康的测量。在研究 2 中,117 名非裔美国人(Mage = 31.87,SD = 13.83;69% 女性)的社区样本完成了情感测量和基于实验室的社会压力源任务,以评估情感和唾液皮质醇反应性之间的联系。主要结果测量:研究 1 包括生活满意度、感知压力和自我报告的抑郁症状。研究 2 包括唾液皮质醇反应性。结果:在这两项研究中,PA 优势(即高 PA 结合低 NA)与更好的幸福感相关,而 NA 优势(即高 NA 结合低 PA)与较差的结果相关。结论:PR 和 RSM 可能为 PA 和 NA 对健康和幸福的共同影响提供新的见解。我们讨论了情感研究的潜在影响,包括与种族相关的探索。
Objective:The extent to which positive (PA) and negative (NA) affect conjointly impact well-being is not yet well understood. Additionally, research investigating the role of affectivity in maintaining well-being among ethnic and racial minorities is scant. The current research demonstrates how polynomial regression and response surface methodology (PR and RSM) may be used to better understand how PA and NA jointly influence stress and well-being.Design:In Study 1, 291 African-American undergraduates (Mage= 22.91, SD = 6.91; 67% female) completed measures of affectivity and psychological well-being. In Study 2, a community sample of 117 African-Americans (Mage= 31.87, SD = 13.83; 69% female) completed affectivity measures and a laboratory-based social stressor task to assess links between affectivity and salivary cortisol reactivity.Main outcome measures:Study 1 included life satisfaction, perceived stress and self-reported depressive symptoms. Study 2 included salivary cortisol reactivity.Results:Across both studies, PA ascendency (i.e. high PA combined with low NA) was associated with better well-being, while NA ascendancy (i.e. high NA combined with low PA) was associated with poorer outcomes.Conclusion:PR and RSM may provide new insight into the conjoint influence of PA and NA on health and well-being. We discuss potential implications for affectivity research, including race-related explorations.
