以前的研究表明，对幸福的强烈渴望可能会降低一个人的幸福感，特别是在西方人中。根据目标进展理论和幸福评价理论，沉思可以解释幸福评价与幸福感之间的关系。基于这些理论基础，本研究检验了以下假设：（1）重视幸福与沉思显著相关，（2）经历低生活压力的人在重视幸福与沉思之间有更强的关联，（3）具有更相互依赖的自我意识的人在重视幸福与沉思之间有较弱的关联。日本的大学生参加了一项横断面研究（N = 350;研究1）和一项为期4周的纵向研究（N = 329;研究2）。他们回答了一组问卷，评估幸福的价值，特质反刍，抑郁症状，负面事件和相互依存的自我安慰。与我们的假设一致，在控制抑郁症状后，重视幸福与增加反刍同时和纵向相关。然而，负面事件并没有缓和重视幸福和沉思之间的关联。此外，研究1，而不是研究2，表明重视幸福和反刍之间的关联是更强的学生之间的相互依存的自我concerns比那些相互依存的自我concerns少。预设的研究结果表明，重视幸福可能是使沉思持续的一个因素。关于重视幸福对沉思的影响的更复杂的证据可以导致有效的心理疗法来减少沉思和抑郁。在线版本包含补充材料，可通过10.1007/s12144-022-04131-6获得。
Previous studies have suggested that an extremely strong desire for happiness might ironically reduce a person’s well-being, particularly among Western people. According to the goal progress theory and the theory of valuing happiness, rumination might explain the relationship between valuing happiness and well-being. Based on these theoretical rationales, this study examined the following hypotheses: (1) valuing happiness is significantly associated with rumination, (2) people who experience low life stress have a stronger association between valuing happiness and rumination, and (3) people with more interdependent self-construal have a weaker association between valuing happiness and rumination. University students in Japan participated in a cross-sectional study (N = 350; Study 1) and a 4-weeks longitudinal study (N = 329; Study 2). They responded to a packet of questionnaires assessing valuing happiness, trait rumination, depressive symptoms, negative events, and interdependent self-construal. Consistent with our hypothesis, valuing happiness was concurrently and longitudinally associated with increased rumination after controlling for depressive symptoms. However, negative events did not moderate the association between valuing happiness and rumination. Furthermore, Study 1, but not Study 2, indicated that the association between valuing happiness and rumination was stronger among students with highly interdependent self-construal than those with less interdependent self-construal. The preset findings indicated that valuing happiness might be a factor that perpetuates rumination. More sophisticated evidence on the influence of valuing happiness on rumination can lead to effective psychotherapies for decreasing rumination and depression.
