The present research examined whether people feel happier and healthier when they feel more understood in daily social interactions. A two-week diary study showed that people reported greater life satisfaction and fewer physical symptoms on days in which they felt more understood by others. Moreover, we found that individuals who tend to see themselves in relations to others (i.e., women or those scored high on interdependent self-construal measure) showed a stronger association between daily felt understanding and daily life satisfaction or physical symptoms. These findings demonstrate that daily social experiences, such as felt understanding, are associated with daily well-being, particularly for individuals with greater interdependent self-construal.
本研究探讨了在日常社交互动中,当人们感觉自己被更多理解时,是否会感到更幸福、更健康。一项为期两周的日记研究表明,当人们感觉自己在某一天被他人更多理解时,他们会报告更高的生活满意度和更少的身体症状。此外,我们发现,倾向于从与他人的关系中看待自己的个体(即女性或在相互依存自我构念测量中得分较高的人),日常感受到的理解与日常生活满意度或身体症状之间的关联更强。这些发现表明,日常社交体验,如感受到的理解,与日常幸福感相关,尤其是对于那些具有更强相互依存自我构念的个体。
