Research On The Relationship Between Stateless Nostalgia And Tradition Nostalgia And Loneliness And Subjective Well-being

In recent years,with the advancement of research,nostalgia is considered to be a good,bad,and bittersweet emotional experience.This kind of good and bad contradiction may come from previous studies which did not effectively distinguish between state nostalgia and trait nostalgia.The former is the nostalgic experience people experience after nostalgic behavior,while the latter is a belief that “the past is better or worse than the present or the future”.Because nostalgia contains two key factors of “cognitive tendency” and “emotional experience”,this paper selects two typical variables,loneliness and subjective well-being,which also contain cognitive tendency and emotional experience to conduct related research.Because of the positive effects that stateless nostalgia may bring and the destructive effect of loneliness on subjective well-being,people tend to be nostalgic when faced with loneliness,but long-term nostalgia does not solve the reality of conflict.Increase loneliness to reduce subjective well-being.The purpose of this paper is to verify the above inferences through two studies: Study 1 examine the negative effects of loneliness on subjective well-being and the alleviation of this effect by stateless nostalgia;Study 2 use interview and the open-ended questionnaire method establishes a characteristic nostalgic dimension,and based on this,compiles a local trait-based nostalgic questionnaire,and uses the age variable as a clue to investigate the characteristics of the trait-based nostalgic population.Then we used the indigenous trait nostalgia questionnaire,the UCLA loneliness questionnaire and the SWLS questionnaire to examine the relationship between trait nostalgia,loneliness and subjective well-being and the impact mechanism.The main conclusions are as follows: 1.Loneliness can reduce subjective well-being and promote statelessness.2.Under the lonely scene the state of nostalgia can ease the destructive effect of loneliness on subjective well-being.3.Older subjects have a higher nostalgic tendency than younger ones.4.There is a positive correlation between trait nostalgia and loneliness,and a negative correlation with subjective well-being.5.Loneliness plays a partial intermediary role in the influence of nostalgia on subjective well-being.The significance of the research is to reveal a closed causal chain to reveal the difference between stateless nostalgia and trait nostalgia.The two are different in their relationship to loneliness and subjective well-being.The research results have reference value for the practical application of nostalgia in the field of psychotherapy.
