Happiness is strongly correlated with goal attainment, productivity, mental health and suicidal risk. This paper examines the association between satisfaction with areas of life and overall life satisfaction, the importance of relative perceptions compared to absolute measures in predicting overall life satisfaction, and differences in the domains of life which are the most strongly related to overall life satisfaction of men and women. The findings suggest that relative perceptions have a large statistically significant association with SWB. Satisfaction with family life and health are the strongest predictors while satisfaction with income and leisure time are the weakest predictors of overall life satisfaction for both genders. Work satisfaction is more important for men than for women, whereas partner's happiness is more valued by female respondents. Satisfaction with household compared to personal income has a larger association with life satisfaction in all subsamples except employed women. Understanding the perceived and factual determinants of happiness has urgent implications discussed in the article.
幸福与目标的实现、生产力、心理健康和自杀风险密切相关。本文研究了生活领域的满意度与整体生活满意度之间的关系，以及相对感知与绝对衡量标准在预测整体生活满意度方面的重要性，以及生活领域的差异与男性和女性整体生活满意度最相关的领域。研究结果表明，相对感知与幸福感有很大的统计学关联。家庭生活和健康的满意度是最强的预测因素，而收入和休闲时间的满意度是两性整体生活满意度的最弱预测因素。工作满意度对男性比女性更为重要，而配偶的幸福对女性受访者更为重要。与个人收入相比，家庭满意度与生活满意度的关联在除了就业女性以外的所有样本中都更大。理解幸福感的感知和实际决定因素具有紧迫的意义，文章对此进行了讨论。
