Art-of-LivingMeasurement of Art-of-Living in Daily Life by Diaries

Art-of-Living: Measurement of Art-of-Living in Daily Life by Diaries [First, as a primary step we want to present another source that our questionnaire for art-of-living yields valid data.

Abstract

[First, as a primary step we want to present another source that our questionnaire for art-of-living yields valid data. We want to do that by comparing diary entrances regarding art-of-living aggregated across a longer time-span with the one-time questionnaire data. Secondly, we correlate state art-of-living data with measures of actual affect, e.g. daily well-being, positive and negative affect. Thirdly, we analyze the relationship between daily events (hassles and uplifts) and state art-of-living. Next, in addition to synchronous relationships between well-being and art-of-living we are interested in the dynamic (asynchronous) relationships between these constructs. The last questions deal with intra-individual variability of art-of-living. There is promising research (Houben et al., 2015) showing that the amount of variation in daily affect can serve as a predictor of the mean level of negative affectivity. We want to test whether these results can be transferred from affect to art-of-living. The sample consisted of N = 54 participants. In addition to a pre- and post-test using our questionnaire the participants also worked on diaries for a period of T = 28 days. The diary contained questions regarding state art-of-living, state well-being, state positive and negative affect and current (important) events. For every participant, we aggregated the diaries across time and correlated this mean diary data with the questionnaires from the pretest and posttest and found high correlations. Furthermore, we found relationships of state art-of-living with daily events and positive and negative affect. For state art-of-living and state well-being we found synchronous but no clear asynchronous relationships. The results of Houben et al. (2015) could be confirmed only partially. As an important overall result we found that we could validate our questionnaire for art-of-living using a different method than in Chap. 3.]
