目的本研究探讨是否可以使用一个众所周知的模型（即Ryff's，1989，心理功能概念化）来检验亚裔美国人的幸福感模式，而亚裔美国人很少成为积极心理学系统研究的焦点。方法隐马尔可夫模型（潜在转变分析的一种形式）用于分析青少年（N = 180；49%女性；75%美国出生）的纵向数据。结果建立测量后效度方面，分析揭示了幸福感的 4 个特征：蓬勃发展（在所有幸福感维度上始终保持较高水平）、功能正常（始终处于中等水平）、受阻碍（始终处于较低水平）和自我驱动的成功（在大多数维度上均处于较高水平，但积极关系的水平处于中等水平）。功能型分布最为普遍，其次是其余分布相对均匀的分布。每年的情况都有很大的变化，其中功能性群体和阻碍性群体表现出最稳定的状态。反映更积极的幸福感（即蓬勃发展、自我驱动）的个人资料与种族和美国的中心地位和尊重相关，互动效应表明这些身份的复合效益。结论幸福感的心理模型似乎具有可塑性，而文化身份可能会导致这种波动。结果还支持概况方法可用于继续检查亚裔美国青年的积极幸福感质量。
ObjectiveThe current study explores whether a well-known model (ie, Ryff’s, 1989, conceptualization of psychological functioning) can be used to examine patterns of eudaimonic well-being among Asian Americans, who are rarely the focus of systematic investigations in positive psychology.MethodHidden Markov modeling, a form of latent transition analysis, was used to analyze longitudinal data from adolescents (N= 180; 49% female; 75% US-born).ResultsAfter establishing measurement validity, analyses revealed 4 profiles of well-being: Flourishing (consistently high on all well-being dimensions), Functioning (consistently moderate), Hindered (consistently low), and Self-Driven Success (high on most dimensions, but moderate levels of positive relationships). The Functioning profile was the most prevalent, followed by relatively even distributions of the remaining profiles. Profiles substantially shifted from year to year, with the Functioning and Hindered groups exhibiting the most stability. Profiles reflecting more positive well-being (ie, Flourishing, Self-Driven) were associated with ethnic and American centrality and regard, and interactive effects suggest compounding benefits of these identities.ConclusionsPsychological models of well-being appear malleable, and cultural identity can contribute to such fluctuations. Results also support the utility of a profile approach to continue examining qualities of positive well-being among Asian American youth.
