A substantial amount of research has been conducted using a variety of methodological approaches to determine what influences life satisfaction. The bottom-up theory considers overall life satisfaction as a function of various areas of life satisfaction, whereas the top-down theory considers the areas of life satisfaction as a function of dispositional factors such as personality. We examined these models in a large-scale United Kingdom survey. Consistent with other studies, we found that both the bottom-up and top-down models of life satisfaction are supported in the United Kingdom by demonstrating that demographics, areas of life satsifaction, and personality traits can explain a significant portion of variances in overall areas of life satisfaction. We propose that future studies in life satisfaction research should consider the integrated account of life satisfaction rather than a unitary bottom-up or top-down perspective.
已经开展了大量研究，采用了各种方法来确定影响生活满意度的因素。自下而上理论认为总体生活满意度是生活各个领域满意度的函数，而自上而下理论则认为生活满意度的各个领域是性格等倾向性因素的函数。我们在一项大规模的英国调查中检验了这些模型。与其他研究一致，我们发现，在英国，自下而上和自上而下的生活满意度模型均得到支持，这是通过表明人口统计学、生活满意度领域和人格特质可以解释总体生活满意度领域中很大一部分差异来实现的。我们建议，未来关于生活满意度的研究应考虑对生活满意度进行综合考量，而不是单一的自下而上或自上而下的视角。
