Life Satisfaction Responds to Major Life Events; Affect not so much
This study examines how major life events influence subjective well-being, focusing on differences between life satisfaction and momentary affect. Using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) data from a nationally representative panel of adults aged 50 and older, we analyze responses to significant life events, including health issues, financial shocks, and bereavements. Participants reported their wellbeing during baseline “random bursts” and su…
Response times in Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA)
Mental processes underlying people’s responses to Ecological Momentary Assessments (EMA) have rarely been studied. In cognitive psychology, one of the most popular and successful mental process models is the drift diffusion model . It decomposes response time (RT) data to distinguish how fast information is accessed and processed (“drift rate”), and how much information is accessed and processed (“boundary separation”). We examined whether the dr…
A population-based investigation of participation rate and self-selection bias in momentary data capture and survey studies
Participant selection bias is of concern to researchers conducting surveys of all types. For momentary data capture studies, such as Ecological Momentary Assessment, the level of burden associated with these techniques and the possibility of low uptake rates makes the concerns especially salient. This study invited 3,000 individuals to participate in a study of health and mood and recorded the uptake rates at various points in the process. Respon…
Administering selected subscales of patient-reported outcome questionnaires to reduce patient burden and increase relevance
Patient-reported outcome (PRO) questionnaires considered in this paper contain multiple subscales, although not all subscales are equally relevant for administration in all target patient populations. A group of measurement experts, developers, license holders, and other scientific-, regulatory-, payer-, and patient-focused stakeholders participated in a panel to discuss the benefits and challenges of a modular approach, defined here as administe…
Cognitive Functioning and the Quality of Survey Responses
Using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) to understand occupation from the perspective of the experiencing self
In people, the experiencing, remembering, and believing selves are distinct modes of being that co-exist, though at any particular moment one mode can be dominant. While qualitative methods are effective for querying the remembering and believing selves, Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) methods may be better suited to capture the perspective of the experiencing self. Using EMA to investigate occupation allows participants to engage in their …
Virtual Human–Delivered Interviews for Patients With Chronic Pain
OBJECTIVE: Seminal advances in virtual human (VH) technology have introduced highly interactive, computer-animated VH interviewers. Their utility for aiding in chronic pain care is unknown. We developed three interactive telehealth VH interviews-a standard pain-focused, a psychosocial risk factor, and a pain psychology and neuroscience educational interview. We then conducted a preliminary investigation of their feasibility, acceptability, and ef…
Using Item Response Times in Online Questionnaires to Detect Mild Cognitive Impairment
RTs for survey items are a potential early indicator of CIND, which may enhance analyses of predictors, correlates, and consequences of cognitive impairment in online survey research
Contrasting Effects of Finding Meaning and Searching for Meaning, and Political Orientation and Religiosity, on Feelings and Behaviors During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Perceiving life as meaningful can buffer against negative experiences, whereas searching for meaning in life is often associated with negative outcomes. We examined how these individual differences, along with religiosity and political orientation, are associated with feelings and health-related behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic ( N = 7,220; U.S. nationally representative sample). Conservatism and religiosity predicted less negative effect; …
Using Attributes of Survey Items to Predict Response Times May Benefit Survey Research
Researchers have become increasingly interested in response times to survey items as a measure of cognitive effort. We used machine learning to develop a prediction model of response times based on 41 attributes of survey items (e.g., question length, response format, linguistic features) collected in a large, general population sample. The developed algorithm can be used to derive reference values for expected response times for most commonly us…
Item Context Effects Are Relevant for Monitoring Evaluative Well-being
To ensure the accuracy of self-reported data, it is important to reduce potential sources of bias such as the unwanted influence of prior questions on subsequent questions, the so-called item context effect. This article attempts to replicate the finding that evaluative subjective well-being was affected by a preceding item, a question about the political atmosphere in the country; it also examines manipulations that could mitigate the impact of …
Nostalgia and well-being in daily life
Nostalgia is a mixed emotion. Recent empirical research, however, has highlighted positive effects of nostalgia, suggesting it is a predominantly positive emotion. When measured as an individual difference, nostalgia-prone individuals report greater meaning in life and approach temperament. When manipulated in an experimental paradigm, nostalgia increases meaning in life, self-esteem, optimism, and positive affect. These positive effects may resu…
Conservatives Report Greater Meaning in Life Than Liberals
Conservatives report greater life satisfaction than liberals, but this relationship is relatively weak. To date, the evidence is limited to a narrow set of well-being measures that ask participants for a single assessment of their life in general. We address this shortcoming by examining the relationship between political orientation and well-being using measures of life satisfaction, affect, and meaning and purpose in life. Participants complete…
Are retired people higher in experiential wellbeing than working older adults? A time use approach
Little is known about how retirement and the time use redistribution that comes with it relate to experiential wellbeing, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LAMICs). This study aims to determine whether there are differences in experiential wellbeing between retired and working older adults; whether time use accounts for a portion of these differences; and whether these potential relationships differ across LAMICs and high-income cou…

Validation of a Brief Yesterday Measure of Hedonic Well-Being and Daily Activities
Two Happiness Puzzles
We consider two happiness puzzles. First, many studies show that only relative income matters for well-being. Yet the Gallup data for the United States and from the rest of the world show no such result, at least for life evaluation. There may be relative income effects in hedonic well-being though other interpretations are available. Second, more religious people typically report higher experiential well-being but more religious places have wors…

Emotional expression and physical health
Emotional expression and physical heath
Health benefits derived from personal trauma disclosure are well established. This study examined whether disclosing emotions generated by imaginative immersion in a novel traumatic event would similarly enhance health and adjustment. College women, preselected for trauma presence, were randomly assigned to write about real traumas, imaginary traumas, or trivial events. Yoked real-trauma and imaginary-trauma participants wrote about real-trauma p…
Emotional disclosure about traumas and its relation to health
This study sought to replicate previous findings that disclosing traumas improves physical health and to compare the effects of revealing previously disclosed versus undisclosed traumas. According to inhibition theory, reporting about undisclosed traumas should produce greater health benefits. Sixty healthy undergraduates wrote about undisclosed traumas, previously disclosed traumas, or trivial events. Contrary to expectations, there were no sign…

Evidence that secretory IgA antibody is associated with daily mood
In this study, we examined the secretory immune system, the body's first line of defense against invading organisms, and its relation to daily fluctuations of mood. Specifically, secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) was studied. Unlike other psychoimmunity studies that examined all sIgA protein regardless of specificity to invading organisms, ours examined an antigen-specific sIgA response to the oral administration of a harmless protein (rabbit alb…
Self-focused attention, coping responses, and distressed mood in everyday life
Several questions concerning the relation between self-focused attention and depressed mood were examined: (a) Does the association involve global negative affect, rather than sadness per se? (b) is self-focus associated with specific negative affects other than sadness? and (c) does the association occur at the between-subjects or within-subject level? Also hypothesized was that self-focus is associated with coping responses that may perpetuate …
The Measure Matters
Self-report, situation-specific coping questionnaires
Self-report, situation-specific assessments of coping, such as the Ways of Coping Scale (WOC), have been used frequently in recent years. Several potential issues in the development and use of these questionnaires have been identified, including the applicability of coping items to different kinds of stressful events, the definition of the period for which Ss report coping efforts, and the meaning of the "extent" response key that is used for rep…
Does trait coping exist? A momentary assessment approach to the evaluation of traits
This study investigated the extent to which momentary reports of coping are a traitlike phenomenon and the validity of a questionnaire assessment of coping style. Participants (N = 96) completed the questionnaire, then monitored stressful events and coping activities for 2 days using a hand-held computer that administered a brief assessment every 40 min. Momentary reports exhibited a sizable traitlike component: Individual differences accounted f…
Event content in a daily survey is differentially associated with concurrent mood
Daily life events were grouped according to their life content area and according to the desirability of the event as rated by the subject. Associations among event groupings and concurrently measured daily mood were examined. As in studies of major life events, some event classifications were more strongly associated with mood than were others: Specifically, desirable family-leisure events and undesirable work events were strongly related to moo…

Daily Versus Major Life Events as Predictors of Symptom Frequency
Predictions of physical symptomatology by daily life events and by major life events were compared, replicating and expanding work reported by DeLongis, Coyne, Dakof, Folkman, & Lazarus (1982). Analyses of daily, prospective data collected on 79 married men for 90 days demonstrated that daily, undesirable events were better predictors of symptom frequencies than either past, major life events or daily, desirable events. These results, similar to …
Effects of severe daily events on mood
Studies of the effect of negative experiences on mood have shown an association between negative events and mood reported on the same day. In trying to make a more convincing case that negative events cause shifts in mood, we examined the effects of naturally occurring, daily events on next-day mood. From a sample of 50 men who had reported events and mood prospectively, 17 whose reports included a severe, negative event were selected. Same-day a…

Hypochondriasis and tendency to adopt the sick role as moderators of the relationship between life‐events and somatic symptomatology
The relationship between measures of hypochondriasis and the tendency to adopt a sick role, life‐events and somatic symptomatology was explored. A sample of 85 married couples drawn from the community ( n = 170) completed mailed questionnaires about the past year's events and symptoms and about hypochondriasis and sick‐role tendency. Life‐events were related to symptoms ( r = 0.17) as were hypochondriasis, sick‐role tendency, and subjects' sex ( …

Measuring Daily Events and Experiences
There has been a burgeoning interest in studying daily events and experiences. This article discusses a variety of methodologic challenges that face daily event and experience researchers. The issues discussed include techniques for measuring events, the development of event checklists, sampling event content, specifying event appraisals, event validation procedures, and the creation of summary measures derived from event checklists. Procedural i…

Development of Common Cold Symptoms Following Experimental Rhinovirus Infection is Related to Prior Stressful Life Events
Previous studies of rhinovirus infection indicate that about one third of the persons with confirmed viral infection do not show evidence of cold symptoms. Factors that determine which infected individuals will develop colds are not known. Using a rhinovirus inoculation protocol, the authors explored the possible role of recent life events, current mood, and perceived stress in the development of symptoms in individuals known to be infected. As p…

Daily events and mood prior to the onset of respiratory illness episodes
We attempted to replicate and extend the findings of three previous studies (Evans & Edgerton, 1991; Evans, Pitts & Smith, 1988; Stone, Reed & Neale, 1987) that found a lagged relationship between daily life events, mood and the onset of episodes of respiratory illness. The findings and methods of the three previous studies are reviewed, and similarities and differences in their analytic approaches are discussed. Seventy‐nine middle‐aged male sub…

Persistent High Cortisol Responses to Repeated Psychological Stress in a Subpopulation of Healthy Men
The present study tested the hypothesis that some subjects may not readily show habituation of adrenocortical stress responses to repeated psychological stress. Twenty healthy male subjects were each exposed five times to the same, brief psychosocial stressor (public speaking and mental arithmetic in front of an audience) with one stress session per day. Salivary cortisol levels were assessed as an index of adrenocortical stress responses. For th…
Effect of Chronic Stress Associated With Unemployment on Salivary Cortisol
This study examined the effect of chronic stress associated with unemployment on the magnitude of salivary cortisol excretion, on the diurnal rhythm of cortisol, and on cortisol reactivity to acute naturalistic stressors using Experience Sampling Methodology (ESM). Employed (N = 60) and unemployed (N = 60) subjects were studied for 2 days. Subjects were beeped 6 times per day by a preprogrammed wristwatch to assess acute stressors; 25 minutes aft…
