Happiness and the propensity to Interact with other people: Reply to Elmer (2021). Quoidbach, J., Dercon, Q., Taquet, M., Desseilles, M., de Montjoye, Y., & Gross, J. J. Psychological Science, 32(6):960–965, June, 2021. Publisher: Sage Publications
Paper doi abstract bibtex Reply by the current author to the comments made by Timon Elmer (see record [rid]2021-59387-014[/rid]) on the original article (see record [rid]2019-47475-001[/rid]). In 2019, we reported the results of a large experiencesampling study in which we sought to reconcile two literatures. The first showed that happiness was associated with more social interaction, and the second showed that unhappiness was associated with more social interaction. We found that average happiness predicted more social interaction, whereas momentary unhappiness predicted subsequent pleasant (but not unpleasant) categories of social interaction. To distinguish the effect of momentary fluctuations in a person’s happiness from the longer-term trends, we argued it was essential to control for participants’ daily happiness levels. Current happiness reflects both momentary and longerterm factors. Because many self-regulation and balancing processes happen within the scope of a day, we initially believed that the key to isolating the signal of momentary affective fluctuations was to control for overall happiness at the day level. Inspired by Elmer’s critique, the current analyses suggest that another element might be essential to capture momentary-level relationships between affect and behavior: temporal proximity.
