One hundred and sixteen working-class housewives, part-time and full-time employees were compared on a range of well-being measures in three different lifestages. A group of factory employees was contrasted with a 'mixed occupation' group for a comparison of type of employment. The general contention that the association between employment and well-being would vary with position in the life cycle was confirmed for distress, physical illness and some of the satisfaction measures. Only one measure (personal competence) suggested that employment had a positive influence on well-being irrespective of lifestage. Young employees working for longer hours and older housewives were both defined as 'cases' by the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). However, their profiles on the other well-being variables were very different.
对116名工人阶级家庭主妇、兼职和全职员工在三个不同生活阶段的一系列幸福指标进行了比较。将一组工厂员工与一个“混合职业”组进行对比,以比较就业类型。关于就业与幸福之间的关联会随生命周期中的位置而变化这一普遍观点,在苦恼、身体疾病和一些满意度指标方面得到了证实。只有一项指标(个人能力)表明,无论处于何种生活阶段,就业对幸福都有积极影响。工作时间较长的年轻员工和年长的家庭主妇都被一般健康问卷(GHQ - 12)定义为“病例”。然而,她们在其他幸福变量上的情况却大不相同。
