Openness to experience is one of the least studied traits in relation to subjective well-being, despite its potential as a resource that enables flourishing. In this study, we therefore focused on this particular trait and examined whether its relation to subjective well-being is explained by receptive (Studies 1 and 2) and participatory arts engagement (Study 2) using data from the GESIS Panel ( N = 874) and the Swiss Household Panel ( N = 6336). In both studies, results indicated that the link between openness to experience and positive affect was explained in part by receptive arts engagement, whereas Study 2 showed that both receptive and participatory arts engagement served as partial mediators between openness to experience and life satisfaction. It follows, then, that the tendency to engage in the arts can lead to a happier life, which strengthens previous evidence for the potential of the arts as a means of flourishing.

是什么让人们高度开放地体验快乐？艺术参与的中介效应


对体验的开放性是与主观幸福感相关的研究最少的特征之一，尽管它具有作为促进繁荣的资源的潜力。因此，在本研究中，我们关注这一特定特征，并使用 GESIS 小组的数据（N = 874）检验其与主观幸福感的关系是否可以通过接受性（研究 1 和 2）和参与性艺术参与（研究 2）来解释。和瑞士家庭小组（N = 6336）。在这两项研究中，结果表明，体验开放性和积极情感之间的联系部分是通过接受性艺术参与来解释的，而研究2表明，接受性和参与性艺术参与都是体验开放性和生活满意度之间的部分中介因素。因此，从事艺术的倾向可以带来更幸福的生活，这强化了之前关于艺术作为繁荣手段的潜力的证据。
