We review the literature linking the experience of love in daily life to psychological well-being, with a particular emphasis on the methodologies used to investigate this relationship. Experience sampling methodology has emerged as a key ecologically valid approach that captures real-time experiences within individuals’ natural environments. Experience sampling yields rich intensive longitudinal data, which, when analyzed using dynamic models, offers promising avenues for exploring love as a momentary, fluctuating emotional experience and its connection to well-being. We provide a concise demonstration of how to analyze daily-life data on love and well-being with such dynamical models, with tutorial files made available online on the Open Science Framework.

摘要

We review the literature linking the experience of love in daily life to psychological well-being, with a particular emphasis on the methodologies used to investigate this relationship. Experience sampling methodology has emerged as a key ecologically valid approach that captures real-time experiences within individuals’ natural environments. Experience sampling yields rich intensive longitudinal data, which, when analyzed using dynamic models, offers promising avenues for exploring love as a momentary, fluctuating emotional experience and its connection to well-being. We provide a concise demonstration of how to analyze daily-life data on love and well-being with such dynamical models, with tutorial files made available online on the Open Science Framework.
