In this paper we suggest a way to measure the well-being of society based upon our own development of the Social Quality model. The Social Quality model has the advantage of being sociologically grounded as a measure of the well-being of society and the individuals within it. We test our model of Social Quality against life satisfaction as an indicator of how successful it is in delivering these aspirations. The model was tested on all European countries using the European Quality of Life Surveys in 2003 and 2007 and was found to explain a large amount of variance, which was consistent across time and space. We suggest that it is possible to operationalise this model using small number of variables, ones that are frequently used in comparative surveys and this should enable the quality of society to be measured in a parsimonious and effective way.
在本文中，我们基于自身对社会质量模型的发展，提出一种衡量社会福祉的方法。社会质量模型的优势在于，作为衡量社会及其中个体福祉的一种方式，它具有社会学依据。我们将社会质量模型与生活满意度进行对比测试，以此作为该模型在实现这些期望方面成功程度的指标。该模型在2003年和2007年使用欧洲生活质量调查对所有欧洲国家进行了测试，结果发现它能解释大量的差异，且这种差异在时间和空间上具有一致性。我们认为，使用少量在比较性调查中经常出现的变量来实施这个模型是可行的，这应该能够以一种简洁而有效的方式衡量社会质量。
