Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Existing research highlights the significance of prosocial behavior (voluntary, intentional behavior that results in benefits for another) to people\'s well-being. Yet, the extent to which this expected positive relation operates at the within-person level (e.g., is more prosocial behavior than usual related to a higher than usual level of well-being?) while taking into account stable interindividual differences, remains a research question that deserves further investigation. In this study, we aimed to explore the relations between prosocial behavior and hedonic (HWB; subjective assessment of life satisfaction and happiness) and eudaimonic (EWB; actualization of human potential in alignment with personal goals, including concepts like meaning in life and closeness to others) well-being in daily life.
METHODS: Using ecological momentary assessment for 4 weeks, data were collected from two British samples, comprising 82 adolescents and 166 adults.
RESULTS: Dynamic Structural Equation Modeling revealed a positive relations between prosocial behavior and HWB/EWB at both between and within-person levels across the samples.
CONCLUSIONS: In summary, these findings further support the positive link between prosocial behavior and well-being in everyday life. Notably, this association was consistent across different age groups (adolescent and adults) at both between and within-person levels.

摘要：
背景：现有研究强调了亲社会行为的重要性（自愿，为他人带来利益的故意行为)对人们的福祉。然而，这种预期的正关系在人内层面的运作程度(例如，是否比平时更亲社会行为与高于平时的幸福感水平有关？）同时考虑到稳定的个体差异，仍然是一个值得进一步调查的研究问题。在这项研究中,我们旨在探索亲社会行为与享乐主义（HWB;生活满意度和幸福感的主观评估）和eudaimonic（EWB;实现与个人目标一致的人类潜能，包括生活中的意义和与他人的亲密关系等概念）日常生活中的幸福。
方法：使用为期4周的生态瞬时评估，数据来自两个英国样本，包括82名青少年和166名成年人。
结果：动态结构方程建模揭示了样本中亲社会行为与HWB/EWB之间和人内水平的正相关关系。
结论：总之，这些发现进一步支持了日常生活中亲社会行为与幸福感之间的积极联系。值得注意的是,这种关联在不同年龄组(青少年和成人)之间在人与人之间和人内水平上是一致的.
