The advancement of positive psychology is dependent upon measures of happiness, both globally and in specific contexts. Data are presented on two measures of sources of college students' happiness from two samples. Testing of the two cohorts (Ns=258, 68) was separated by 20 years. Measures for both samples had acceptable psychometric properties. There was an increase in college students' self-reported happiness across the 20-year period in the rankings of different sources of college happiness and general happiness. In a second study, a different group of students (N= 176) were given a list and asked to select the most important uplifts and hassles in their lives. In general, mean scores on affect measures were relatively stable across time, but transportation hassles were reported as a new source of negative affect in the present study.
积极心理学的发展取决于对幸福感的衡量,无论是从全球范围还是在特定背景下。本文展示了来自两个样本的关于大学生幸福来源的两项衡量指标的数据。这两个队列(样本量分别为258和68)的测试相隔20年。两个样本的测量方法都具有可接受的心理测量特性。在20年期间,大学生自我报告的幸福感在不同的大学幸福来源和总体幸福感排名中都有所增加。在第二项研究中,另一组学生(N = 176)收到一份清单,并被要求选出他们生活中最重要的提升因素和困扰因素。总体而言,情感测量的平均得分随时间相对稳定,但在本研究中,交通困扰被报告为负面情绪的一个新来源。
