基于大学的社区成员(N = 181)参加了一个四波,为期6个月的纵向实验,旨在提高治疗参与者的幸福水平。参与者被随机分配设定目标,以改善他们的生活环境(比较条件)或增加他们的自主感,能力或生活中的相关性(治疗条件)。我们假设,只有在三种治疗条件下,才能观察到幸福感的持续增加,而且只有在持续的目标参与下,这些增加才会持续。结果支持这些预测和他们所基于的可持续幸福模型(Lyubomirsky等人,Rev Gen Psychol 9:111-131,2005)。此外,参与者对幸福感的变化最初持积极态度,获得了更大的好处。我们的结论是,保持幸福感是可能的,但它们需要“意志和适当的方式”(Lyubomirsky等人在变得更快乐需要意志和适当的方式:两个实验性的纵向干预措施,以提高幸福感,2009)。
University-based community members (N = 181) participated in a four-wave, 6-month longitudinal experiment designed to increase treatment participants’ happiness levels. Participants were randomly assigned to set goals either to improve their life circumstances (comparison condition) or to increase their feelings of autonomy, competence, or relatedness in life (treatment conditions). We hypothesized that sustained gains in happiness would be observed only in the three treatment conditions, and that even these gains would last only when there was continuing goal engagement. Results supported these predictions and the sustainable happiness model on which they were based (Lyubomirsky et al. in Rev Gen Psychol 9:111–131, 2005). Furthermore, participants with initial positive attitudes regarding happiness change obtained larger benefits. We conclude that maintained happiness gains are possible, but that they require both “a will and a proper way” (Lyubomirsky et al. in Becoming happier takes both a will and a proper way: two experimental longitudinal interventions to boost well-being, 2009).
