Digital social interactions differ in many ways from face-to-face interactions. This study examines four preregistered hypotheses on the within-person interplay between interaction mode (i.e., digital vs. face-to-face interactions), interaction quality, and momentary well-being. Young adults from Spain ( N 1 = 216) and the Netherlands ( N 2 = 22)—provided 5,116 and 1,386 Ecological Momentary Assessments (EMA), respectively. In the Spanish sample, there were no differences in interaction quality between digital and face-to-face interactions, whereas in the Dutch sample, digital interactions were of higher quality. Interaction quality was positively associated with momentary well-being in both samples. Momentary well-being was higher after face-to-face interactions in the Spanish but not in the Dutch sample. Interaction quality did not mediate the relationship between interaction mode and well-being; instead, it moderated it in the Spanish sample. Although interaction quality was consistently associated with momentary well-being, it only partially explains why face-to-face interactions differ from digital ones.

线上和线下的日常社交互动：互动模式、互动质量和瞬间幸福感之间的相互作用

数字社交互动在许多方面都与面对面互动不同。本研究检查了关于交互模式（即数字与面对面交互）、交互质量和瞬间幸福感之间的人内相互作用的四个预先注册的假设。来自西班牙 （N1 = 216） 和荷兰 （N2 = 22） 的年轻人——分别提供了 5,116 和 1,386 次生态瞬时评估 （EMA）。在西班牙样本中，数字互动和面对面互动之间的交互质量没有差异，而在荷兰样本中，数字交互的质量更高。在两个样本中，交互质量与瞬间幸福感呈正相关。西班牙人在面对面互动后瞬间的幸福感更高，但在荷兰样本中则没有。交互质量不介导交互模式与幸福感之间的关系;相反，它在西班牙语样本中对其进行了调节。尽管互动质量始终与瞬间的幸福感相关，但它只能部分解释为什么面对面的互动与数字互动不同。
