Many lifestyle behaviors such as diet, exercise, social interaction, and substance use are related to physical and mental health. Less understood are the day-to-day associations of these behaviors with both psychological distress, well-being, and with each other.
This study investigated how a number of common lifestyle behaviors were associated with psychological distress and well-being using a daily diary study with multilevel modeling. Associations among behaviors were analyzed with multilevel mediation and network models.
An online participant pool consisting of seventy-six adults (age range: 19-64; mean age: 40.29; 58% female) completed daily diary surveys over 14 days and reported their engagement in lifestyle behaviors, psychological distress, hedonic well-being, and eudaimonic well-being.
Time spent in social interaction was the most consistent within-person correlate of psychological distress and well-being. The association between daily time in nature and well-being was mediated by social interaction and exercise. Network models found within-person associations among the lifestyle behaviors.
The results indicate that social interaction may be an especially important lifestyle behavior to consider when promoting well-being. Future research should recognize that daily fluctuations in many lifestyle behaviors cluster together.
许多生活方式行为，如饮食、锻炼、社交互动和物质使用，与身心健康有关。但人们对这些行为与心理困扰、幸福感之间的日常关联，以及彼此之间的关联了解较少。
本研究使用多水平建模的日常日记研究，调查了多种常见生活方式行为与心理困扰和幸福感的关联。使用多层次中介和网络模型分析了行为之间的关联。
由 76 名成年人（年龄范围：19-64 岁；平均年龄：40.29 岁；58%为女性）组成的在线参与者群体在 14 天内完成了每日日记调查，并报告了他们参与生活方式行为、心理困扰、享乐幸福感和幸福完整感。
社交互动时间是个体内与心理困扰和幸福感最一致的相关因素。每天花在自然中的时间与幸福感之间的关联是通过社交互动和锻炼来介导的。网络模型发现生活方式行为之间存在个体内关联。
研究结果表明，社交互动可能是促进幸福感时需要特别考虑的重要生活方式行为。未来的研究应该认识到，许多生活方式行为的日常波动会聚集在一起。
