是什么带来平静而愉快的孤独？人们对于哪些性格和心态品质在独处时对个人有益的了解甚少。当前的研究旨在为未来的定量和定性研究奠定基础，对个人在独处时的幸福感（例如放松）或不适感（例如孤独感）做出先验预测。对 60 名 19-80 岁参与者的半结构化访谈进行了主题分析。早年接触到独处的好处以及跨越生活领域的人格特征（内省、自我反省和乐观的能力）与享受独处有关。认识到独处有利于自我联系的心态，以及创造力和好奇心的本土因素，似乎发挥了重要作用。在最后一个主题中，自我同情、当下的关注和换位思考有助于减轻孤独困难时刻的不适。这些发现加深了我们对个人哪些品质可以增强他们的独处时刻的理解。
What leads to peaceful and enjoyable solitude? Little is known about which personality and mindset qualities benefit individuals during time spent alone. The current study was designed to build a foundation for future quantitative and qualitative research making a priori predictions about well‐being (e.g., relaxation) or ill‐being (e.g., loneliness) when individuals are in solitude. Semi‐structured interviews ofn= 60 participants, aged 19–80, were analyzed into themes. Exposure to the benefits of solitude early in life and personality characteristics that cross life's domains (capacity for introspection and self‐reflection and optimism) were associated with enjoying solitude. Mindsets recognizing that solitude benefits self‐connection, as well as in situ factors of creativity and curiosity, appeared to play important roles. In a final theme, self‐compassion, a present focus and perspective taking helped to alleviate discomfort during difficult moments of solitude. These findings deepen our understanding of which qualities individuals bring forward to enhance their moments of solitude.
