在这篇文章中，我们在六项研究中考察了主观活力，一种积极的活力和能量感。主观活力被假设为反映器官健康，因此应该与影响自我可用能量的心理和躯体因素共同变化。主观活力与心理健康的几个指标之间存在关联;身体因素，如身体症状和感知的身体功能;以及基本人格特征和情感倾向。随后，与匹配的对照组相比，慢性疼痛患者的活力较低，特别是那些认为他们的疼痛是致残或可怕的人。主观活力进一步与自我激励和维持减肥治疗肥胖患者。最后，在日记研究中评估主观活力与身体症状的协变。讨论的重点是个人能量的现象学显着性及其与身心健康的关系。
In this article, we examine subjective vitality, a positive feeling of aliveness and energy, in six studies. Subjective vitality is hypothesized to reflect organismic well-being and thus should covary with both psychological and somatic factors that impact the energy available to the self. Associations are shown between subjective vitality and several indexes of psychological well-being; somatic factors such as physical symptoms and perceived body functioning; and basic personality traits and affective dispositions. Subsequently, vitality is shown to be lower in people with chronic pain compared to matched controls, especially those who perceive their pain to be disabling or frightening. Subjective vitality is further associated with self-motivation and maintained weight loss among patients treated for obesity. Finally, subjective vitality is assessed in a diary study for its covariation with physical symptoms. Discussion focuses on the phenomenological salience of personal energy and its relations to physical and psychological well-being.
