Daily need satisfaction for relatedness (social connection), autonomy (volitional self‐congruent action), and competence (self‐efficacy) fosters well‐being, but those findings primarily reflect experiences during social interactions. A three‐week daily diary study (N = 178) explored psychological need satisfaction in two key everyday contexts: solitude and social. Holding constant the benefits of need‐satisfying social contexts, autonomy satisfaction during solitude was key to peaceful affect, whereas competence satisfaction during solitude contributed to lower loneliness; both psychological needs in solitude contributed to evaluating the day as more satisfying. Relatedness‐deficiency in solitude did not contribute to loneliness; instead, those who were relatedness‐deficient in social interactions felt lonely. Further, need satisfaction in solitude compensated for deficient needs in social contexts, reducing loneliness (autonomy and relatedness) and increasing day satisfaction (all needs) when social contexts failed to satisfy needs. Findings suggest daily solitude can shape daily well‐being and further attention is needed to understand and ultimately improve everyday solitude.

在日常幸福感中需要满足感：社交和独处环境都有助于幸福感


对关联性（社会联系）、自主性（自愿的自我一致性行动）和能力（自我效能感）的日常需求满足促进了幸福感，但这些发现主要反映了社交互动中的经历。一项为期三周的每日日记研究 （N = 178） 探讨了两个关键日常情境中的心理需求满足：独处和社交。坚持满足需求的社会环境的好处不变，独处时的自主性满足是和平情感的关键，而独处时的能力满足有助于降低孤独感;独处中的两种心理需求都有助于将这一天评价为更令人满意。孤独中的相关性缺陷不会导致孤独;相反，那些在社交互动中缺乏相关性的人会感到孤独。此外，当社会环境无法满足需求时，独处的需求满足弥补了社会环境中的不足，减少了孤独感（自主性和关联性）并增加了白天的满意度（所有需求）。研究结果表明，日常独处可以塑造日常幸福感，需要进一步关注来理解并最终改善日常独处。
