Increasing daily exploration is linked to improvements in affective well-being. However, COVID-19 elevated uncertainty when leaving the home, altering the risk-reward of balance of geospatial novelty. To this end, we simultaneously collected real-world geospatial tracking and experience sampling of emotion, prior to and during the first year of the pandemic in 630 individuals. COVID-19 reduced exploration and subjective well-being. Yet, despite the health risks of exploring during the pandemic, the days of highest affective well-being were those when individuals explored the most. However, this was not true for everyone: during the first months of the pandemic, at the height of the uncertainty surrounding the transmissibility and prognosis of a COVID-19 infection, more anxious individuals experienced no affective benefit to leaving home. Taken together, real-world exploration improved well-being regardless of the presence of real-world threat, but anxiety mitigated these benefits.

COVID-19 大流行期间现实世界探索的情感益处。


增加日常探索与情感幸福感的改善有关。然而，COVID-19 增加了出门时的不确定性，改变了地理空间新颖性的风险回报平衡。为此，我们同时收集了 630 名个体在大流行之前和第一年期间的真实世界地理空间跟踪和情绪体验采样。 COVID-19 减少了探索和主观幸福感。然而，尽管在大流行期间探索存在健康风险，但情感幸福感最高的日子是个人探索最多的时候。然而，情况并非对所有人都适用：在大流行的最初几个月，在 COVID-19 感染的传播性和预后的不确定性达到顶峰时，更加焦虑的人并没有感受到离开家带来的情感上的好处。总的来说，无论现实世界是否存在威胁，现实世界的探索都会改善幸福感，但焦虑会削弱这些好处。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
