We review recent evidence of nostalgia's ability to enhance and buffer different types of wellbeing. Nostalgia has been associated with increased hedonic wellbeing (e.g., life satisfaction, happiness) in various contexts. Nostalgia is triggered by and can mitigate against threats to hedonic wellbeing. Nostalgia also increases eudaimonic wellbeing (e.g., perceptions of vitality, environmental mastery, positive relationships) and mitigates threats to eudaimonic wellbeing through varying mechanisms. Two applications of these wellbeing benefits are being explored in recent research: nostalgia can help understand how people buffer negative psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; and is being harnessed for wellbeing interventions. More experimental and longitudinal research is needed to establish and maximize the potential of nostalgia for bolstering resilience.
我们回顾了怀旧增强和缓冲幸福感的不同类型的能力的最新证据。在各种情境中，怀旧与愉悦幸福感（如生活满意度、幸福感）的增加有关。怀旧情绪是由对愉悦幸福感的威胁引发的，并可以减轻这种威胁。怀旧还可以通过不同的机制增加道德幸福感（例如活力、环境掌控感、积极的人际关系的感知），并减轻对道德幸福感的威胁。最近的研究探讨了这些幸福感益处的两种应用：怀旧可以帮助理解人们如何缓冲 COVID-19 大流行带来的负面心理影响；并被用于幸福感干预。需要更多的实验和纵向研究来确定和最大化怀旧增强适应力的潜力。
