Prior research indicates that Black South Africans are generally less satisfied with their lives and neighborhoods than White South Africans. 375 Black and 358 White adult residents of a multiracial, middle-class suburb of Johannesburg rated, from 0 to 10, their satisfaction with 9 personal and 9 environmental quality of life domains. Two items, also rated from 0 to 10, assessed satisfaction with life and the neighborhood. Although there were no differences between Black and White suburbanites on life satisfaction scores, the Black group reported being more satisfied with the neighborhood than the White group. Stepwise multiple regression indicated that health and personal safety explained the highest variance in life (29% for the Black group and 43% for the White group) and neighborhood (26% for the Black group and 18% for the White group) satisfaction.
先前的研究表明，与南非白人相比，南非黑人总体上对自己的生活和社区满意度较低。约翰内斯堡一个多种族中产阶级郊区的375名成年黑人居民和358名成年白人居民对9个个人生活领域和9个环境生活质量领域的满意度进行了评分，评分范围为0至10分。另外两项同样评分范围为0至10分的项目评估了对生活和社区的满意度。尽管黑人和白人郊区居民在生活满意度得分上没有差异，但黑人组报告称对社区的满意度高于白人组。逐步多元回归表明，健康和个人安全在生活满意度（黑人组为29%，白人组为43%）和社区满意度（黑人组为26%，白人组为18%）方面解释了最大的方差。
