“…Such an assumption fits well with the multilevel analyses we used-often, higher order measures are assumed to be causes of lower order measuresand it is consistent with the assumption of much of the research on personality and other individual differences in which dispositions are often assumed to be causes of behaviors. Moreover, such an assumption is consistent with research on causal relationships between social interaction and individual differences such as social skills (Nezlek, 2001b) and wellbeing (Nezlek & Reis, 1999).…”

This study examined relationships between ethnic identification and ethnic minority members' interactions with majority group members. Members of Muslim minority groups, ethnic Turks and Moroccans in the Netherlands and Chechens in Poland, described the social interactions they had for two weeks using a variant of the Rochester Interaction Record (RIR). They also completed measures of ethnocultural identification that distinguished involvement with and attachment to their ethnic minority culture and to the majority culture. Relationships between ethnic identification and contact with the majority group varied as a function of the dimension and source of identification and the aspect of interaction (quantity or quality) being considered. Across the samples, involvement with the ethnic minority culture was negatively related to the quantity of contact with majority group members, whereas emotional attachment to the majority culture was positively related to the quality of interactions with majority group members. Attachment to the ethnic minority culture was not related to either the quantity of interaction with majority group members or to the quality of these interactions. These results suggest that when studying interethnic contact, it is important to distinguish different dimensions and sources of ethnic identification and different aspects of interethnic contact.

“…Although the present study was not designed to examine such causal relationships, such a causal sequence is consistent with recent research by Nezlek and colleagues that relied on structural equation modeling of causal relationships between naturally occurring social interaction and psychological adjustment. In a two-year longitudinal study of collegians, Nezlek (2001b) found that changes in the quality of social interaction led to changes in self-perceived social skill (a measure that had a strong component of social acceptance), whereas there was no causal relationship from skill to interaction. Similarly, in a study of community residents aged 27 to 31, Nezlek and Reis (1999), found stronger causal paths from interaction quality to psychological well-being than from well-being to interaction quality.…”

A sample of 113 healthy older adults used a variant of the Rochester Interaction Record to describe the social interactions they had each day for two weeks. They also completed various measures of psychological well-being including life satisfaction and loneliness. A series of multilevel random coefficient analyses found that life satisfaction scores were positively related to how enjoyable interactions were, how self-assured people felt when interacting, how much control they felt they had over interactions, how responsive others were to their needs, and how socially active they were. Analyses that took participants' marital status into account suggested, however, that interaction outcomes and life satisfaction were related only for married participants, and that these relationships were primarily due to interaction outcomes with spouses.

“…With the exception of the daily measure of physical symptoms, the following measures are similar to those used by Nezlek and his colleagues in several studies that have elucidated the role of daily events with respect to a number of outcome variables (Nezlek, 2001a;Nezlek, 2001b;Nezlek, 2002;Nezlek & Gable, 2001;Nezlek & Plesko, 2003;Nezlek, Feist, Wilson, & Plesko, 2001). This line of research has demonstrated that constructs measured using only a few items can be both reliable and valid.…”

Studies examining the link between stressful events and coping with HIV have relied on a between-persons approach focusing on how individuals differ on some characteristics. Although the between-subjects approach has yielded important information, our goal was to use a within-persons approach, making repeated measurements of the same persons over many days, to examine the impact of changing circumstances on the mood states of those with HIV. A second goal was to determine if asking participants to report their daily experiences via a computerized interactive voice system is a viable way to collect such information. This study collected a variety of trait measures for seven HIV patients and subsequently used a computerized telephone system to collect information regarding daily events and mood states over 21 consecutive days. Several daily measures, including self-esteem, optimism, and positive social interactions were significantly related to daily mood states. Trait measures, with the exception of symptom distress, were ineffective in predicting variations in daily mood states. It was concluded that a computerized telephone system is a viable means of collecting information from HIV patients on a daily basis and within-persons methodology may provide useful information about daily events affecting mood states beyond that generated by a between-persons approach.
