Abstract
En 中文
This study examines the relationship between human-and computer-coded narrative themes and well-being. U.S. adults (mean age = 39; 53% male; 75% White/European American) were surveyed across three waves. At baseline (NT1 = 663), participants narrated how the COVID-19 pandemic changed them and reported their hedonic and eudaimonic well-being. Four (NT2 = 455) and nine months (NT3 = 291) later, well-being was reassessed. Narratives were coded for motivational (agency, communion) and affective (redemption, contamination) themes. Human-coded themes showed stronger concurrent and prospective associations with both wellbeing dimensions than computer-coded themes. However, narrative themes were not reliably linked with changes in well-being. Distinct patterns of associations between motivational and affective themes and well-being dimensions were also observed.
