Subjective well-being (SWB) is an extremely active area of research with about 170,000 articles and books published on the topic in the past 15 years. Methodological and theoretical advances have been notable in this period of time, with the increasing use of longitudinal and experimental designs allowing for a greater understanding of the predictors and outcomes that relate to SWB, along with the process that underlie these associations. In addition, theories about these processes have become more intricate, as findings reveal that many associations with SWB depend on people's culture and values and the context in which they live. This review provides an overview of many major areas of research, including the measurement of SWB, the demographic and personality-based predictors of SWB, and process-oriented accounts of individual differences in SWB. In addition, because a major new focus in recent years has been the development of national accounts of subjective well-being, we also review attempts to use SWB measures to guide policy decisions.
主观幸福感(SWB)是一个极其活跃的研究领域,在过去15年里,关于这个主题发表了约17万篇文章和书籍。在这段时间里,方法论和理论上的进展显著,纵向和实验设计的使用越来越多,这使得人们能够更好地理解与主观幸福感相关的预测因素和结果,以及这些关联背后的过程。此外,随着研究结果表明,许多与主观幸福感的关联取决于人们的文化、价值观以及他们生活的背景,关于这些过程的理论变得更加复杂。本综述概述了许多主要的研究领域,包括主观幸福感的测量、基于人口统计学和人格的主观幸福感预测因素,以及对主观幸福感个体差异的过程导向解释。此外,由于近年来一个主要的新重点是国民主观幸福感核算的发展,我们还回顾了使用主观幸福感测量来指导政策决策的尝试。
