The purpose of the present study was to examine the reciprocal relationships between authenticity and measures of life satisfaction and distress using a 2-wave panel study design. Data were collected from 232 college students attending 2 public universities. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. The results of the cross-lagged panel analysis indicated that after controlling for temporal stability, initial authenticity (Time 1) predicted later distress and life satisfaction (Time 2). Specifically, higher levels of authenticity at Time 1 were associated with increased life satisfaction and decreased distress at Time 2. Neither distress nor life satisfaction at Time 1 significantly predicted authenticity at Time 2. However, the relationship between Time 1 distress and Time 2 authenticity was not significantly different from the relationship between Time 1 authenticity and Time 2 distress. Results are discussed in light of humanistic-existential theories and the empirical research on well-being.
本研究的目的是采用两波面板研究设计，检验真实性与生活满意度及痛苦程度指标之间的相互关系。数据收集自两所公立大学的232名大学生。采用结构方程模型对数据进行分析。交叉滞后面板分析结果表明，在控制时间稳定性后，初始真实性（时间1）可预测后期的痛苦程度和生活满意度（时间2）。具体而言，时间1的真实性水平越高，与时间2生活满意度的提高和痛苦程度的降低相关。时间1的痛苦程度和生活满意度均未显著预测时间2的真实性。然而，时间1的痛苦程度与时间2的真实性之间的关系，与时间1的真实性与时间2的痛苦程度之间的关系并无显著差异。将根据人本主义-存在主义理论以及关于幸福感的实证研究对结果进行讨论。
