Investigating How Parental Instructions and Protective Responses Mediate the Relationship Between Parental Psychological Flexibility and Pain-Related Behavior in Adolescents With Chronic Pain: A Daily Diary Study

Abstract. Knowledge on how to improve employees’ daily innovative performance is imperative, because innovation contributes importantly to organizational competitiveness. We tested a model in which daily use of selection, optimization, and compensation (SOC) strategies mediates the relationship between daily job autonomy and daily innovative performance. Moreover, we predicted that the association between daily SOC strategy use and daily innovative performance is stronger on days when time pressure is high (vs. low). Hypotheses were tested using a daily diary study in which employees filled out a short questionnaire at the end of their workday for a period of five workdays ( N = 91; 381 daily entries). Results of structural equation modeling analyses supported our mediation, but not our moderation hypothesis.

The Relationship

Despite widespread consensus that income is an important predictor of life satisfaction, the precise affective forces that drive this relationship remain unclear. We propose that income is positively associated with life satisfaction because financial resources reduce the negative impact that everyday difficulties have on individuals; these hassles rebound off the rich but pierce the poor. Specifically, we hypothesize that financial scarcity is associated with greater distress intensity but not a higher frequency of distressing episodes. Furthermore, we propose that lower perceived control helps explain why financial scarcity predicts higher distress intensity, and underlies the relationship between financial scarcity and life satisfaction. We provide evidence for these hypotheses through a daily diary study with 522 participants and 13,733 observations. Our theory and results combine to suggest that financial resources appear to serve an important function in promoting life satisfaction by reducing the intensity of distressing episodes when they arise.
