Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate the quality of life in terms of how individuals experience various activities and emotions in daily life using the Day Reconstruction Method (DRM). The DRM, which combines features of the time-diary method and the Experience Sampling Method, assesses how people spend their time and how they experience the various activities in different settings of their lives. The participants were composed of three groups: working men, working women, and housewives. In order to minimize recall biases, participants were asked to systematically reconstruct their activities and experiences of the preceding day. In general, the three groups showed no differences in the levels of life satisfaction. The participants reported the most happiness when they spent time with their spouse/partner and when they did eating. Eating, working, and talking were the most frequent daily activities and participants overall experienced positive emotions more than negative emotions. As for the daily emotion experiences by time periods, working men and women groups experienced most happiness during the lunch time and after work; on the contrary, the working time was reported as the most tiring and stressful time of the day. Implications of measuring life satisfaction using the DRM were discussed.
