隨著全民關注幸福的時代到來,享樂適應理論作為研究幸福的鑰匙,引起了多學科的廣泛關注。文章首先從享樂適應的內涵、與幸福感的關系、發生機制、減緩方式出發進行文獻梳理與評述,接著重點探討享樂適應理論在消費行為學、經濟學、組織行為學等領域的應用研究,以期為個體提升幸福感及企業通過提升消費者與員工的幸福感來強化他們對企業的正面認知提供幫助。未來應不斷擴展享樂適應理論的應用範圍,重點關注各領域中變動的主體及形式對享樂適應的影響。

With increasing interest in happiness research from varying disciplines, a key aspect is to study the notion of hedonic adaptation. The present research first defines and reviews hedonic adaptation from different perspectives, namely its relationship with happiness, its underlying mechanism, and its thwarting ways, followed by the application of hedonic adaptation theory in other disciplines, including consumer behavior, economics, and organizational behavior. Findings from the present research will inform individuals on how to sustain happiness and enables enterprises to increase consumers' and employees' positive cognition by thwarting hedonic adaptation and sustaining positive emotion. Future studies should apply hedonic adaptation in other disciplines, focusing on the effect of subject and form of variability on hedonic adaptation.
