People hedonically adapt to most changes, but they adapt more slowly to some changes than to others. This research examines hedonic adaptation to income changes, and asks whether people adapt more slowly to social or temporal income changes. Four experiments, manipulating the actual pay rate of online workers, find that people adapt more slowly to social income changes (e.g., a decrease in others' income but not in one's own income) than to temporal income changes (e.g., an increase in everyone's income). This pattern holds for both negative changes (Experiment 1) and positive changes (Experiments 2, 3, and 4) and can be explained by a differential-consideration account (Experiment 3). These results suggest that in the short run, both temporal and social changes influence one's hedonic experience, but in the long run, what influences one's hedonic experiences is how much one earns relative to how much others earn, and not how much one earns now relative to how much one earned in the past. This research enriches the existing literature on hedonic adaptation, and on social versus temporal changes, and yields practical implications for the impact of income changes on subjective well-being over time.

人们对社会收入变化的适应速度比对时间收入变化的适应速度要慢。

人们享乐地适应大多数变化,但他们对某些变化的适应速度比对其他变化要慢。这项研究考察了对收入变化的享乐适应,并询问人们是否更慢地适应社会或时间收入变化。四个实验,操纵在线工作者的实际工资率,发现人们对社会收入变化(例如,别人的收入减少但自己的收入没有减少)的适应速度比对时间收入变化(例如,每个人的收入增加)的适应速度更慢。收入)。这种模式适用于消极变化(实验 1)和积极变化(实验 2、3 和 4),并且可以通过差异考虑帐户(实验 3)来解释。这些结果表明,在短期内,时间和社会变化都会影响一个人的享乐体验,但从长远来看,影响一个人的享乐体验的是一个人相对于其他人赚了多少,而不是一个人现在赚了多少相对于过去赚了多少。这项研究丰富了关于享乐适应以及社会与时间变化的现有文献,并对收入变化对主观幸福感的影响产生了实际意义。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA,保留所有权利)。
