Focusing on the definition of recovery as a process, we examined how the four core recovery experiences (i.e., psychological detachment, relaxation, control, and mastery) develop during the evening. We tested whether the specific developments of recovery experiences are important for next-day favorable mood states-beyond the mean levels of recovery experiences. We collected data from 92 employees who completed daily morning and afternoon surveys over 10 workdays. In the morning surveys, we implemented the day-reconstruction method to assess detailed information about employees' recovery experiences during several episodes of the previous evening. Our final data set included 477 morning surveys with a total of 1,998 episodes and 383 afternoon surveys. Multilevel growth curve analyses showed that, in general, psychological detachment, relaxation, and control follow a positive linear trend and mastery a negative quadratic trend during the evening. Moreover, path analyses showed that the day-level increase of psychological detachment is important for next-day mood. Specifically, we found that after evenings during which employees experienced a higher increase in psychological detachment than they usually did, they had higher favorable mood states in the subsequent afternoon. Further, our results did not support associations between day-level slopes of relaxation, control, and mastery as well as next-day mood. Hence, our study demonstrates that recovery experiences systematically change during an evening and that this change is partially relevant for next-afternoon mood.

夜间恢复经历的每日轨迹及其对第二天情绪的作用。

我们重点关注恢复作为一个过程的定义，研究了四种核心恢复体验（即心理脱离、放松、控制和掌握）在晚上是如何发展的。我们测试了恢复经历的具体发展是否对第二天的良好情绪状态（超出恢复经历的平均水平）很重要。我们收集了 92 名员工的数据，他们在 10 个工作日内完成了每日上午和下午的调查。在早上的调查中，我们采用了日重建方法来评估员工在前一天晚上的几次恢复经历的详细信息。我们的最终数据集包括 477 项上午调查（总共 1,998 集）和 383 项下午调查。多级增长曲线分析表明，总体而言，心理疏离、放松和控制在晚上遵循正线性趋势，并掌握负二次趋势。此外，路径分析表明，日间心理疏离感的增加对于第二天的情绪很重要。具体来说，我们发现，在晚上之后，员工的心理疏离程度比平时更高，他们在接下来的下午就会有更高的有利情绪状态。此外，我们的结果并不支持日间放松、控制和掌握程度以及第二天情绪之间的关联。因此，我们的研究表明，恢复体验在晚上会发生系统性的变化，并且这种变化与第二天下午的情绪部分相关。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
