This 5-day diary study examined the impact of daily hassles on well-being, with a focus on the mediating role of positive and negative affect. Previous research has extensively explored the effects of major life events on well-being, yet the influence of minor daily stressors remains poorly understood. We employed a daily diary methodology with 218 participants, aged 18 to 56, who reported their daily hassles, affect and well-being over five consecutive days. Results revealed that daily hassles significantly predicted both current and prospective well-being, mediated by changes in affect. Specifically, at the within-person level, negative affect increased and positive affect decreased in response to daily hassles, both contributing to reduced well-being. At the between-person level, only negative affect mediated this relationship. Our findings underscore the cumulative impact of minor daily stressors on well-being, highlighting the importance of affective responses in this process. This study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of how everyday stressors influence well-being, emphasizing the need for strategies to manage daily hassles and enhance emotional resilience.
这项为期5天的日记研究考察了日常烦恼对幸福感的影响，重点关注积极和消极情绪的中介作用。以往的研究广泛探讨了重大生活事件对幸福感的影响，但对轻微日常压力源的影响仍知之甚少。我们采用日记法，对218名年龄在18至56岁之间的参与者进行了研究，他们连续五天报告自己的日常烦恼、情绪和幸福感。结果显示，日常烦恼通过情绪变化的中介作用，对当前和未来的幸福感都有显著预测作用。具体而言，在个体内部层面，日常烦恼会导致消极情绪增加、积极情绪减少，两者都导致幸福感降低。在个体之间层面，只有消极情绪介导了这种关系。我们的研究结果强调了轻微日常压力源对幸福感的累积影响，突出了情感反应在这一过程中的重要性。这项研究有助于更细致地理解日常压力源如何影响幸福感，强调了应对日常烦恼和增强情绪恢复力策略的必要性。
