OBJECTIVES
Pain may decrease well-being in older adults by limiting social and leisure activities. However, some activities can exacerbate pain. We hypothesized that autonomously motivated goal engagement could ameliorate negative effects of pain on goal engagement and amplify positive effects of goal engagement on eudemonic well-being (EWB).
METHODS
Midlife and older women (N = 200) were oversampled for chronic pain. Daily diaries (n = 10,697) including goal lists and ratings, pain, and EWB were completed for 7 days every 3 months for 2 years.
RESULTS
Pain was not a correlate of goal engagement. More engagement was associated with higher EWB when motivation was autonomous. However, more goal engagement correlated with lower EWB the next day and, when not autonomously motivated, higher pain.
DISCUSSION
Goal engagement can benefit people with or without physical pain, but the motivation behind goal engagement is equally if not more important. Goals motivated by autonomous sources increase EWB and may protect against maladaptive patterns of activity associated with pain.
目的
疼痛可能会通过限制社交和休闲活动来降低老年人的幸福感。然而，有些活动会使疼痛加剧。我们假设自主激发的目标参与可以减轻疼痛对目标参与的负面影响，并放大目标参与对幸福感（EWB）的积极影响。
方法
中年和老年女性（N=200）被过度抽样用于慢性疼痛研究。每天记录（n=10697）包括目标清单和评分、疼痛和幸福感（EWB），每 3 个月完成 7 天，持续 2 年。
结果
疼痛与目标参与没有相关性。当动机是自主时，更多的参与与更高的幸福感相关。然而，当不是自主激励时，更多的目标参与与第二天更低的幸福感和更高的疼痛相关。
讨论
目标参与可以使有或没有身体疼痛的人受益，但目标参与背后的动机同样重要，如果不是更重要的话。自主激发的目标可以提高幸福感，并可能保护人们免受与疼痛相关的适应不良的活动模式的影响。
