The present study aims to answer two questions: (1) are expectations of future positive experiences related to well-being in the general population?; and (2) what factors (social, psychological, economic) enable people to have expectations of future positive experiences. A community sample (N = 84) was assessed on a measure of anticipation of future positive and negative experiences, factors that might enable positive anticipation (measures of income, social networks, planning ability, and affective capacity) and measures of subjective well-being (positive and negative affect and life satisfaction). Subjective well-being was related to having more anticipated positive experiences, which was in turn related to having a large social network, having a high number of steps in plans to achieve goals, and, more marginally, to having a high household income.
（1）对未来积极体验的期望与普通人群的幸福感有关吗？；（2）哪些因素（社会、心理、经济）使人们能够对未来的积极体验抱有期望。对一个社区样本（N=84）进行了对未来积极和消极体验的预期的测量、可能使积极预期成为可能的因素（收入、社会网络、计划能力和情感能力的测量）以及主观幸福感（积极和消极情绪以及生活满意度）的测量。主观幸福感与更多预期的积极体验有关，而这又与拥有庞大的社交网络、拥有实现目标的计划中的更多步骤以及更边际地与高家庭收入有关。
