Princeton Center for Translational Research on Aging

描述（由申请人提供）：我们提议更新我们目前资助的普林斯顿大学NIA Roybal老龄化转化研究中心，其总体目标是：(1)通过测量DRM背景下的积极和消极体验来探索体验幸福感（ExpWB）的独特组成部分，并继续探索ExpWB与评价指标（EvalWB）之间的关系，如Cantril阶梯和生活满意度测量；(2)继续探索ExSWB和EvalWB现有测量方法中调查模式效应、情境效应和其他偏差的程度，以及减轻它们的方法；(3)调查人们对自己幸福感的认知在多大程度上适应生活环境的变化（如长期失业、慢性病和丧偶），以及这些关系在生命周期中的差异；(4)对美国劳工统计局收集的2010年和2012年新的综合影响和时间使用数据进行了探索。总体目标是通过清晰地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区分开来，从而提高我们理解衰老过程众多方面的能力。根据皇家RFA的目标，我们不期望对提案中涉及的所有问题提供明确的答案；我们的目标是将目前的资助扩展到后续的大规模研究。

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) Exploring the unique components of experiential wellbeing (ExpWB) through the measurement of positive and negative experiences in the context of the DRM, and continuing to explore the relationship between ExpWB and evaluative measures (EvalWB) such as the Cantril ladder and life satisfaction measures; (2) continuing to explore the magnitude of survey mode effects, contextual effects, and other biases in existing measures of both ExSWB and EvalWB and methods for mitigating them; (3) investigating the extent to which people's perceptions of their SWB adapts to changes in life circumstances (e.g. longterm unemployment, chronic disease, and widowhood) and how those relationships differ over the lifecycle; (4) Exploring the 2010 and new 2012 combined affect and time use data collected by the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics. The overall goal is 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. 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.
