DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose a renewal to our currently funded NIA Roybal Center for Translational Research on Aging at Princeton University, with the overall objectives of (1) continuing our development of new methods for the measurement of well-being and health that aggregate particular experiences rather than eliciting global evaluations and (2) using them to better understand and document the experience of aging. We propose to refine and extend a shift to a bottom-up conceptualization of well-being to enhance our ability to understand numerous facets of the aging process by clearly separating actual experiences of daily life from the cognitive processes that give rise to reports of life satisfaction or overall happiness. We will show our current application of bottom-up methods has improved our understanding of apparent anomalies in self-reported well-being and health and has provided insights into the process of adaptation to changing circumstances. These new methods have allowed detailed analyses of the contribution of different circumstances (e.g., chronic disease, widowhood) and situations (e.g., working, socializing with friends) to the overall quality of life, and of how these contributions change over a person's life cycle. The combination of measurements of the affective experience of situations and activities (e.g., commuting, housework) with measurements of the time spent by the population in these activities, currently collected by the Department of Labor Statistics, should contribute to the development of an experimental system of National Well-being Accounts during the proposed study period. As per the goals of the Roybal RFA, we do not expect to produce definitive answers to all of questions addressed in the proposal; our goal is to extend the work from the current grant to support subsequent large-scale studies. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The newly developed instruments will increase our ability to accurately assess the activities, emotions, and symptoms of peoples' everyday lives, which has wide application for policy, social science and medical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议对目前资助的普林斯顿大学 NIA Roybal 衰老转化研究中心进行更新，总体目标是（1）继续开发衡量福祉和健康的新方法，汇总特定经验而不是引发全球评估；（2）利用它们更好地理解和记录衰老的经历。我们建议完善和扩展向自下而上的幸福概念的转变，通过将日常生活的实际经历与产生生活满意度或整体幸福感的认知过程明确分开，来增强我们理解衰老过程众多方面的能力。我们将展示我们目前自下而上方法的应用提高了我们对自我报告的福祉和健康中明显异常的理解，并为适应不断变化的环境的过程提供了见解。这些新方法可以详细分析不同环境（例如慢性病、丧偶）和情况（例如工作、与朋友交往）对整体生活质量的影响，以及这些影响在一个人的生命周期中如何变化。目前由劳工统计部收集的对情境和活动（例如通勤、家务）的情感体验的测量与人们在这些活动中花费的时间的测量相结合，应有助于在拟议的研究期间开发国民福利账户实验系统。根据皇家 RFA 的目标，我们预计不会对提案中提出的所有问题给出明确的答案；我们的目标是将当前赠款的工作范围扩大到支持后续的大规模研究。 公共卫生相关性：新开发的仪器将提高我们准确评估人们日常生活的活动、情绪和症状的能力，这在政策、社会科学和医学研究方面具有广泛的应用。
