Activity engagement has long been linked to improved subjective well-being (SWB) in old age. However, recent studies testing Vallerand et al.'s (2003) Dualistic Model of Passion suggest that the type of passionate activity that underlies activity engagement might influence the extent to which individuals benefit from an active lifestyle. In the present article we examined the relationship between harmonious and obsessive passionate activities and subjective well-being in older adults. Results showed that harmonious passion, through its influence on positive affect experienced during activity engagement, is associated with increases in SWB, whereas obsessive passion is associated with decreases in SWB. Engagement in passionate activities might be beneficial for older adults when a passionate activity is harmonious, but detrimental when a passionate activity is obsessive.
长期以来，参与活动一直与老年人主观幸福感（SWB）的提升相关。然而，最近检验瓦勒朗等人（2003年）提出的激情二元模型的研究表明，构成活动参与基础的激情活动类型可能会影响个体从积极生活方式中受益的程度。在本文中，我们研究了老年人和谐激情活动与强迫激情活动和主观幸福感之间的关系。结果表明，和谐激情通过对活动参与过程中体验到的积极情感的影响，与主观幸福感的增加相关，而强迫激情则与主观幸福感的降低相关。当激情活动是和谐的时候，参与激情活动可能对老年人有益，但当激情活动是强迫性的时候，则可能有害。
