Longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID; N = 2996) were used to test hypotheses about the link between well-being and financial and social developmental resources. Results suggest that higher average family income from birth to age 18, and personal and professional mentoring received between 17 and 30, were positively associated with indicators of positive well-being and negatively related to negative indicators of well-being. Interactions between early life family income and mentoring during emerging adulthood were not significant predictors of any of the well-being outcomes. In all cases, the magnitudes of the coefficients became larger when simultaneously accounting for early life income, emerging adulthood mentoring, and their interactions-suggesting that financial and social resources in earlier life are independently linked to later life well-being. Findings highlight that mentoring received in emerging adulthood benefits downstream hedonic and eudemonic well-being, regardless of financial resources.
使用来自收入动态面板研究（PSID；N=2996）的纵向数据，检验了幸福感与财务和社会发展资源之间联系的假设。结果表明，从出生到 18 岁的平均家庭收入较高，以及在 17 至 30 岁期间获得的个人和职业指导，与积极幸福感的指标呈正相关，与幸福感的消极指标呈负相关。成年早期的早期家庭收入和指导之间的相互作用对任何幸福感结果都不是显著的预测因素。在所有情况下，当同时考虑早期生活收入、成年早期指导及其相互作用时，系数的大小会增大，这表明早期生活中的财务和社会资源与晚年幸福感独立相关。研究结果表明，无论财务资源如何，成年早期获得的指导都有益于下游的享乐和幸福。
