情感幸福与弱友谊和强友谊关系的共同进化
The co-evolution of emotional well-being with weak and strong friendship ties
摘要:
社会关系与幸福密切相关。但这种关系的特点是什么?本研究探讨社会机制,解释社会关系如何通过社会整合和社会影响力影响福祉,以及福祉如何通过社会选择影响社会关系。我们假设,高度整合的个人--那些拥有更广泛和更密集的友谊网络的人--比其他人报告更高的情感幸福感。此外,情感幸福应该受到亲密朋友幸福的影响。最后,当个体更喜欢幸福感更高的人,以及幸福感与他们相似的人时,幸福感应该会影响友谊选择。我们测试我们的假设,使用纵向的社会网络和幸福感的117个人生活在一个研究生住宅社区的数据。应用一种新的扩展的随机行为导向模型的有序网络(有序SAOM),使我们能够详细说明和测试我们的假设弱和强绑定的友谊网络同时。结果不支持我们的社会整合和社会影响力的假设,但提供了证据的选择:具有较高的情感幸福感的个人往往有更多的强关系的朋友,并有同质化过程中的情感幸福感强关系的网络。我们的研究强调了社会关系和幸福感之间的双向关系,并证明了考虑不同社会过程中不同关系强度的重要性。
英文摘要:
Social ties are strongly related to well-being. But what characterizes this relationship? This study investigates social mechanisms explaining how social ties affect well-being through social integration and social influence, and how well-being affects social ties through social selection. We hypothesize that highly integrated individuals - those with more extensive and dense friendship networks - report higher emotional well-being than others. Moreover, emotional well-being should be influenced by the well-being of close friends. Finally, well-being should affect friendship selection when individuals prefer others with higher levels of well-being, and others whose well-being is similar to theirs. We test our hypotheses using longitudinal social network and well-being data of 117 individuals living in a graduate housing community. The application of a novel extension of Stochastic Actor-Oriented Models for ordered networks (ordered SAOMs) allows us to detail and test our hypotheses for weak- and strong-tied friendship networks simultaneously. Results do not support our social integration and social influence hypotheses but provide evidence for selection: individuals with higher emotional well-being tend to have more strong-tied friends, and there are homophily processes regarding emotional well-being in strong-tied networks. Our study highlights the two-directional relationship between social ties and well-being, and demonstrates the importance of considering different tie strengths for various social processes.
