This study examined psychological distress and well-being as a function of the characteristics of personal projects and project-relevant social support and social hindrance provided by the three most important people in subjects' lives. Three project factors (Project Mastery, Strain, and Self-Involvement) were found to account for significant variation in both psychological distress and well-being. Project support was generally found to be significantly related to well-being, but not to distress. However, project hindrance was found to be significantly related to both distress and well-being. Additional analyses revealed that the behavior of the most important person in a subject's life is of special significance in accounting for variations in psychological distress and well-being. Finally, evidence of the independence of support and hindrance was observed.
本研究考察了心理困扰与幸福感,将其作为个人项目特征以及受试者生活中最重要的三个人所提供的与项目相关的社会支持和社会阻碍的函数。研究发现,三个项目因素(项目掌控、压力和自我投入)在心理困扰和幸福感方面都能解释显著的差异。一般来说,项目支持与幸福感显著相关,但与困扰无关。然而,项目阻碍与困扰和幸福感都显著相关。进一步分析表明,受试者生活中最重要的人的行为在解释心理困扰和幸福感的差异方面具有特殊意义。最后,观察到了支持与阻碍的独立性证据。
