Abstract. Using the experience sampling method (ESM), this study examines the relationship between experienced selflessness and experienced happiness. Based on the self-centered/selflessness happiness model (SSHM), we hypothesized that: (a) these two constructs would be positively related and (b) harmony feeling would mediate this relation. Using ESM, the participants ( N = 63) filled in a short survey, five times a day during 2 days (response rate = 79.2%; 482 observations). A linear mixed-model analysis showed that selflessness and harmony feelings were significant predictors of happiness. Finally, a mediation analysis indicated that harmony feeling emerged as a significant mediator of the relationship between selflessness and happiness at the experienced level. Overall, the study supports the idea that happiness does not depend solely on the satisfaction of one’s expectations but experiencing the self as an interdependent and relational entity also plays an important role. The implications of this study are discussed.

日常生活中的无私与幸福

摘要。本研究使用经验抽样方法 (ESM) 检验经验无私与经验幸福之间的关系。基于以自我为中心/无私的幸福模型（SSHM），我们假设：（a）这两个结构是正相关的，（b）和谐感会调节这种关系。使用 ESM，参与者 (N = 63) 填写了一个简短的调查，在 2 天内每天 5 次（回复率 = 79.2%；482 次观察）。线性混合模型分析表明，无私和和谐感是幸福感的重要预测因素。最后，中介分析表明，和谐感在体验层面成为无私与幸福之间关系的重要中介。总体，该研究支持这样一种观点，即幸福不仅仅取决于对一个人的期望的满足，而且将自我体验为一个相互依存的关系实体也起着重要作用。讨论了这项研究的意义。
