Furthermore, this happiness effect was moderated by participants’ eudaimonic orientation-participants with high eudaimonic orientation reaped greater benefits from benevolence, and their hedonic orientation did not moderate the relationship between benevolence and happiness. The results showed that participants in the benevolence condition reported higher post-task positive affect than those in the control condition. Participants’ eudaimonic and hedonic orientations were assessed before the game, and their post-task happiness were measured after the game. For this purpose, 128 participants were assigned to play a game in which half of them were explained the benevolence impact of playing the game (the benevolence condition), and the other half played the same game without this knowledge (the control condition). From a person-activity congruence perspective, we proposed that an individual’s eudaimonic orientation moderates the effect of prosocial behavior on happiness, whereas hedonic orientation does not. However, there is insufficient knowledge about the conditions under which such a happiness effect occurs. In the HEMA scale developed by Huta (Hedonic and Eudaimonic Motives for Activities), eudaimonia is defined as an orientation toward authenticity, meaning/broad concerns, excellence/morality, and.
Engaging in prosocial behavior is considered an effective way to increase happiness in a sustainable manner.
