The current study investigated the reciprocal relationship between top‐down and bottom‐up processes using two analytic methods to properly account for time‐varying predictors, confounding variables, and stable individual differences. Specifically, hierarchical Bayesian continuous‐time dynamic modeling and marginal structural models were employed. Method Data from the Swiss Household Panel study ( N = 25,181)—a nationally representative, longitudinal survey conducted in Switzerland—was used. Global life satisfaction was measured using the Satisfaction With Life Scale. Satisfaction with five life domains (i.e., health, income, personal relationships, free time, and job) was also measured. Results A series of marginal structural models revealed that subsequent global life satisfaction was predicted by each domain‐specific evaluation, and prior global life satisfaction also predicted each domain‐specific evaluation. Continuous‐time dynamic modeling revealed that an independent shock of magnitude 1.00 to the top‐down process predicted future increases in the bottom‐up process, and vice versa. Conclusions Taken together, the findings of this study can be represented by a closed‐loop feedback model, which illustrates predictive effects between top‐down and bottom‐up processes. 10.1111/jopy.70039 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ |
