Summary: |
Research of factors influencing our health and well- being is omnipresent. Yet, research about how basic human motives influence human physical health and subjective well-being (SWB) is scarce. This thesis extends previous research on value fit and investigates the relationship of assimilation and difference motives and a fit in these motives with SWB and overall health. It was hypothesized that (a) person-environment motive fit in assimilation and difference motives has a beneficial effect on SWB and overall health and that (b) assimilation motive itself has a positive effect on SWB and health whereas difference motive itself negatively influences these variables. Data from the TEP 10 project were analyzed within a sample of 1240 Japanese adult participants. Overall, results provide little support for the present hypotheses. Significant results in line with the hypotheses show that a fit in assimilation motive has an advantageous effect on positive emotions experienced during the last week. Further significant results contradict the present hypotheses and show that assimilation motive fit has a detrimental effect on negative emotions experienced in the last week, that difference motive fit negatively influences overall health ratings and that assimilation motive itself negatively influences negative emotions experienced in the last week and day, as well as overall health ratings. For future research it would be beneficial to use more differentiated, implicit measures and, eventually, derive interventions on how to support individuals who do not experience the investigated beneficial effects on their subjective well-being.

Summary in another language: |
Forschung zu Faktoren, die unsere Gesundheit und unser Wohlbefinden beeinflussen, ist allgegenwärtig. Es gibt jedoch nur wenige Studien darüber, wie grundlegende menschliche Motive die körperliche Gesundheit und das subjektive Wohlbefinden (SWB) beeinflussen. Diese Arbeit erweitert die bisherige Forschung zum Person-Environment Fit und untersucht die Beziehung zwischen Assimilations- und Differenzmotiven, einem Fit in diesen Motiven mit SWB und allgemeiner Gesundheit. Konkret wurden die Hypothesen aufgestellt, dass (a) ein Fit in Assimilations- und Differenzmotiven einen positiven Effekt auf SWB und die allgemeine Gesundheit hat und dass (b) das Assimilationsmotiv einen positiven Effekt auf SWB und die Gesundheit hat, während das Differenzmotiv diese Variablen negativ beeinflusst. In dieser Studie wurden die Daten des TEP 10-Projekts mit einer Stichprobe von 1240 erwachsenen Teilnehmenden in Japan untersucht. Insgesamt bieten die Ergebnisse wenig Unterstützung für die vorliegenden Hypothesen. Signifikante Ergebnisse, die mit den Hypothesen übereinstimmen, zeigen, dass ein Fit im Assimilationsmotiv eine positive Wirkung auf die in der letzten Woche erlebten positiven Emotionen hat. Weitere signifikante Ergebnisse widersprechen den vorliegenden Hypothesen und zeigen, dass ein Fit im Assimilationsmotiv einen nachteiligen Effekt auf die in der letzten Woche erlebten negativen Emotionen hat, ein Fit im Differenzmotiv die Bewertung der eignen Gesundheit negativ beeinflusst und dass das Assimilationsmotiv die in der letzten Woche und am letzten Tag erlebten negativen Emotionen sowie die Bewertung der eigenen Gesundheit negativ beeinflusst. Für zukünftige Forschung wäre es von Vorteil, differenziertere, implizite Maße zu verwenden und schließlich Interventionen abzuleiten, wie Personen unterstützt werden können, die die untersuchten positiven Auswirkungen auf ihr subjektives Wohlbefinden nicht erfahren.
