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.

描述(由申请人提供)：我们建议续签我们目前资助的普林斯顿大学NIA Roybal老龄化翻译研究中心，总体目标是(1)继续开发衡量幸福和健康的新方法，汇总特定经验，而不是引发全球评估，以及(2)使用它们更好地了解和记录老龄化经验。我们建议改进和扩展向自下而上的幸福感概念化的转变，通过明确地将日常生活的实际经验与产生生活满意度或总体幸福感报告的认知过程分开，以增强我们理解衰老过程的许多方面的能力。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幸福和健康方面明显异常的理解，并提供了对适应不断变化的环境的过程的洞察。通过这些新方法，可以详细分析不同情况(如慢性病、丧偶)和情况(如工作、与朋友交往)对整体生活质量的贡献，以及这些贡献在人的生命周期中如何变化。目前由劳动统计部收集的对情况和活动(例如，通勤、家务)的情感体验的测量与人口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建立一个国家福祉账户试验性制度。根据Roybal RFA的目标，我们预计不会对提案中涉及的所有问题提出明确的答案；我们的目标是扩大目前赠款的工作范围，以支持随后的大规模研究。
