Hedonic wellbeing and eudaimonic wellbeing are two prevailing approaches to wellbeing. However, remarkably little research has distinguished them from an activity perspective; the knowledge of behavioural paths for achieving these two wellbeings is poor. This study first clarified the behavioural contents of the two approaches through a bottom-up method and then analysed the representativeness of activities to indicate to what extent activities contributed to wellness. We found that the paths to hedonic wellbeing and eudaimonic wellbeing overlapped and differed from each other. Furthermore, this study explained why hedonic activity differed from eudaimonic activity by analysing activity characteristics. We found that people reported higher frequency, sensory experience, and affective experience in hedonic activity, whereas they reported higher intellectual experience, behavioural experience, and spiritual experience in eudaimonic activity. Finally, we explored the behavioural pattern of wellbeing pursuit in both an unthreatening situation and a threatening situation. We found that the overlap between the two approaches increased in the threatening situation. Moreover, people in the threatening situation tended to score lower on all characteristics except frequency relative to those in the unthreatening situation. It seemed that the behavioural pattern in the threatening situation was less effective than its equivalent in the unthreatening situation.

通往幸福的行为途径：从活动的角度区分享乐和普通人幸福感的探索性研究

快乐和幸福是两种主要的健康方法。但是，从活动的角度来看，很少有研究能够区分它们。实现这两种幸福的行为途径的知识很差。这项研究首先通过自下而上的方法阐明了这两种方法的行为内容，然后分析了活动的代表性，以表明活动在多大程度上有助于健康。我们发现享乐状态和自我情感状态的路径重叠并且彼此不同。此外，这项研究通过分析活动特征来解释为什么享乐活动与真人活动有所不同。我们发现人们在享乐活动中报告了更高的频率，感觉体验和情感体验，而他们在eudaimonic活动中报告了更高的智力经验，行为经验和精神经验。最后，我们探索了在没有威胁的情况和有威胁的情况下追求幸福的行为模式。我们发现，在威胁情况下，两种方法之间的重叠增加了。此外，处于威胁状态的人除了在频率上没有威胁之外，在所有特征上的得分往往都较低。看来，在威胁情况下的行为方式没有在非威胁情况下的行为方式有效。我们探讨了在没有威胁的情况和有威胁的情况下追求幸福的行为模式。我们发现，在威胁情况下，两种方法之间的重叠增加了。此外，处于威胁状态的人们除了在频率上没有威胁之外，在所有特征上的得分都较低。看来，在威胁情况下的行为方式没有在非威胁情况下的行为方式有效。我们探讨了在没有威胁的情况和有威胁的情况下追求幸福的行为模式。我们发现，在威胁情况下，两种方法之间的重叠增加了。此外，处于威胁状态的人除了在频率上没有威胁之外，在所有特征上的得分往往都较低。看来，在威胁情况下的行为方式没有在非威胁情况下的行为方式有效。
