Does thinking about time, rather than money, influence how effectively individuals pursue personal happiness? Laboratory and field experiments revealed that implicitly activating the construct of time motivates individuals to spend more time with friends and family and less time working-behaviors that are associated with greater happiness. In contrast, implicitly activating money motivates individuals to work more and socialize less, which (although productive) does not increase happiness. Implications for the relative roles of time versus money in the pursuit of happiness are discussed.
思考时间而非金钱是否会影响个人追求个人幸福的效率？实验室和现场实验表明，隐式激活时间这一概念会激励个人花更多时间与朋友和家人相处，而减少工作时间——这些行为与更高的幸福感相关。相比之下，隐式激活金钱会激励个人更多地工作和更少地社交，尽管这（虽然富有成效）并不会增加幸福感。本文讨论了在追求幸福的过程中，时间与金钱的相对作用。
