Research Method/Design: These were cross-sectional analyses of survey data from 508 community-dwelling adults with a variety of self-reported health conditions and functional disabilities. Measures included the Orientations to Happiness Questionnaire and items from the Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System. Results: Greater distress was associated with lower global happiness in both mediation and moderation models. The mediation model showed that middle-aged participants (age: 45-64) scored lowest in global happiness, and the effect of age on distress was partially mediated by happiness. None of the happiness components mediated the relationship of age on distress. The moderation model showed a significant interaction effect for age and global happiness on distress, where younger participants low on happiness were significantly more distressed. Of the three happiness components, only meaning was significantly associated with distress. There was a significant interaction between age and meaning, where participants who were younger and scored low on the meaning scale reported significantly higher distress. Conclusions/Implications: Findings from this study lay groundwork for the development of clinical interventions to address distress in individuals with functional disabilities. Middle-aged and younger people with disabilities may be particularly affected by lower levels of happiness and might benefit from psychological interventions that focus on increasing overall well-being and providing meaning and purpose in life.

DESIGN: This study involves cross-sectional analyses of 471 individuals with a variety of health conditions reporting at least mild pain. RESULTS: The first hypothesis that happiness mediates the relationship between pain intensity and two outcomes, pain interference and distress, was not supported. The second hypothesis was supported by a good fitting model (&amp;chi;10 = 12.83, P = 0.23, root-mean-square error of approximation = 0.025) and indicated that pain intensity significantly mediated the effect of happiness on pain interference (indirect effect: &amp;beta; = -0.13, P &amp;lt; 0.001) and on distress (indirect effect: &amp;beta; = 0.10, P = 0.01). Happiness showed a significant direct effect on pain intensity (&amp;beta; = -0.20, P &amp;lt; 0.001). A third model exploring the happiness components meaning, pleasure, and engagement fitted well (&amp;chi;4 = 9.65, P = 0.05, root-mean-square error of approximation = 0.055). Pain intensity acted as a significant mediator but only mediated the effect of meaning on pain interference (indirect effect: &amp;beta; = -0.07, P = 0.05) and on distress (indirect effect via pain interference: &amp;beta; = -0.04, P = 0.05). Only meaning (&amp;beta; = -0.10, P = 0.05), but neither pleasure nor engagement, had a significant direct effect on pain intensity. CONCLUSIONS: Participants who reported greater happiness reported lower pain interference and distress through happiness&amp;#39; effects on pain intensity. Experiencing meaning and purpose in life seems to be most closely (and negatively) associated with pain intensity, pain interference, and distress. Findings from this study can lay the groundwork for intervention studies to better understand how to more effectively decrease pain intensity, pain interference, and distress.&lt;/p&gt;
