G3b Not Again! The Impact of Daily Hassles on Well-Being through Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction
Short Description
At various points in life, people might encounter unexpected negative experiences, which can be classified into three categories according to their severity and frequency: universal stressors, personal shocks, and daily hassles. While universal stressors and personal shocks have been actively studied, less attention has been paid to daily hassles (i.e., experiences of daily living such as losing keys or waiting in line) despite their omnipresence and cumulative impact.
Blending the theory of stress and coping and self-determination theory, this study argues that daily life hassles influence well-being because they negatively affect the individual’s basic psychological need satisfaction. Using data from the 2025 Pregnancy Journey Survey, we examine the extent to which basic psychological need satisfaction mediates the association between the individual’s experience of daily hassles and their sense of well-being. Findings from our study can guide the design of services or programs to support recognition of and coping with daily hassles as nagging or invisible stressors that rob the individual of higher levels of well-being.
