The aims of the present study were to investigate (1) whether the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictive measures to control its spread were associated with changes in happiness before and after the pandemic and (2) whether household size, living with a partner/spouse, living with at least one son/daughter, financial support, income loss, and job loss following the pandemic were associated with happiness after controlling for previous levels of happiness. We use data from the Italian Survey on Household Income and Wealth (SHIW). Specifically, we used longitudinal data from 2283 respondents who participated in the SHIW 2016 and SHIW 2020. Results revealed a small but significant increase in happiness from 2016 to 2021. In addition, living with a partner/spouse predicted higher happiness with a medium effect size, and total income loss predicted lower happiness with a small to medium effect size. Household size, living with at least one son/daughter, financial support, partial income loss, and job loss following the pandemic were unrelated to happiness.
(1)新冠疫情及其防控传播的限制措施是否与疫情前后的幸福感变化有关;(2)在控制了先前的幸福水平后,家庭规模、是否与伴侣/配偶同住、是否与至少一个儿子/女儿同住、获得的经济支持、收入损失和疫情后的失业情况是否与幸福感有关。我们使用了意大利家庭收入与财富调查(SHIW)的数据。具体而言,我们使用了2283名参与2016年和2020年SHIW调查的受访者的纵向数据。结果显示,2016年至2021年幸福感有小幅但显著的提升。此外,与伴侣/配偶同住预测幸福感较高,效应量为中等;总收入损失预测幸福感较低,效应量为小到中等。家庭规模、与至少一个儿子/女儿同住、经济支持、部分收入损失以及疫情后的失业情况与幸福感无关。
