We examined the change and stability of nostalgia in emerging adulthood. We followed 327 students through their 4 university years with six assessments. Nostalgia demonstrated moderate rank stability ( = .25-.79). A Trait-State-Occasion model analysis indicated that the stable trait component, slowing-change trait component, and state component explained 37% to 43%, 10% to 27%, and 29% to 49% of variation in nostalgia on specific occasions, respectively. Longitudinal multilevel analysis revealed that the mean nostalgia level declined across university years. Greater intensity of negative life events at the start of university was associated with higher initial nostalgia and slower decline of it, while the emotion intensified when experiencing more negative life events. Nostalgia in emerging adulthood displays moderate stability, with negative life events contributing to the shape of its trajectory.
我们考察了成年初显期怀旧的变化和稳定性。我们通过 6 次评估对 327 名学生进行了为期 4 年的跟踪研究。怀旧表现出中等程度的等级稳定性（=.25-.79）。特质-状态-场合模型分析表明，稳定的特质成分、缓慢变化的特质成分和状态成分分别解释了特定场合怀旧的 37%至 43%、10%至 27%和 29%至 49%的变异。纵向多层分析显示，大学期间怀旧的平均水平呈下降趋势。大学开始时负面生活事件的强度越大，初始怀旧程度越高，下降速度越慢，而经历更多负面生活事件时，情绪会加剧。成年初显期的怀旧情绪具有中等程度的稳定性，负面生活事件影响着它的轨迹形状。
