We survey 561 students from U.S. medical schools shortly after they submit choice rankings over residencies to the National Resident Matching Program. We elicit () these choice rankings, () anticipated subjective well-being (SWB) rankings, and () expected features of the residencies (such as prestige). We find substantial differences between choice and anticipated-SWB rankings in the implied tradeoffs between residency features. In our data, evaluative SWB measures (life satisfaction and Cantril's ladder) imply tradeoffs closer to choice than does affective happiness (even time-integrated), and as close as do multi-measure SWB indices. We discuss implications for using SWB data in applied work.
我们在来自美国医学院的561名学生向国家住院医师匹配计划提交住院医师选择排名后不久对他们进行了调查。我们获取了这些选择排名、预期主观幸福感（SWB）排名以及住院医师项目的预期特征（如声望）。我们发现在住院医师项目特征之间隐含的权衡中，选择排名和预期SWB排名存在显著差异。在我们的数据中，评价性SWB指标（生活满意度和坎特里尔阶梯）所暗示的权衡比情感幸福感（甚至是时间综合情感幸福感）更接近选择排名，并且与多指标SWB指数一样接近。我们讨论了在应用工作中使用SWB数据的意义。
