Reports an error in "Prioritizing positivity: An effective approach to pursuing happiness" by Lahnna I. Catalino, Sara B. Algoe and Barbara L. Fredrickson (Emotion, 2014[Dec], Vol 14[6], 1155-1161). There was an error in Table 2 of the Results. There was a negative sign added to .51 in Table 2. The corrected table is shown in the erratum. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2014-48826-003.) A decade of research reveals the benefits of positive emotions for mental and physical health; however, recent empirical work suggests the explicit pursuit of happiness may backfire. The present study hypothesized that the pursuit of happiness is not inherently self-defeating; in particular, individuals who seek positivity, as exemplified by how they make decisions about how to organize their day-to-day lives, may be happier. This individual difference is labeled prioritizing positivity. In a community sample of young to older adults (N = 233), prioritizing positivity predicted a host of well-being outcomes (positive emotions, depressive symptomology). In addition, people high in prioritizing positivity have greater resources, and these links are explained by more frequent experiences of positive emotions. In sum, the present study suggests that seeking happiness, although a delicate art, may be a worthwhile pursuit.
报告拉娜·I·卡塔利诺、萨拉·B·阿尔戈和芭芭拉·L·弗雷德里克森所著《优先考虑积极情绪：追求幸福的有效途径》（《情感》，2014年12月，第14卷第6期，第1155 - 1161页）中的一处错误。结果部分的表2存在错误。表2中0.51被添加了一个负号。勘误中展示了修正后的表格。（原始文章的以下摘要出现在记录2014 - 48826 - 003中。）十年的研究揭示了积极情绪对身心健康的益处；然而，最近的实证研究表明明确追求幸福可能适得其反。本研究假设追求幸福并非本质上自我挫败；特别是，那些优先考虑积极情绪的个体，例如他们在决定如何安排日常生活时的表现，可能会更幸福。这种个体差异被称为优先考虑积极情绪。在一个涵盖年轻人到老年人的社区样本（N = 233）中，优先考虑积极情绪预示着一系列幸福结果（积极情绪、抑郁症状）。此外，优先考虑积极情绪程度高的人拥有更多资源，而这些联系可以通过更频繁的积极情绪体验来解释。总之，本研究表明追求幸福虽然是一门微妙的艺术，但可能是一项值得追求的事情。
