In examining morality in everyday life, Hofmann et al. (Reports, 12 September 2014, p. 1340) conclude that being the target of (im)moral deeds impacts happiness, whereas committing them primarily affects one's sense of purpose. I point to shortcomings in the analyses and interpretations and caution that, based on the methodological approach, conclusions about everyday life relationships between morality and happiness/purpose are premature.
在日常生活中的道德研究中,Hofmann 等人(报道,2014 年 9 月 12 日,第 1340 页)得出结论,成为(不)道德行为的目标会影响幸福感,而实施这些行为主要会影响一个人的目的感。我指出了分析和解释中的缺陷,并警告说,基于这种方法,关于道德与幸福/目的之间的日常生活关系的结论还为时过早。
