This study attempts to relate (a) types of urban neighborhoods with extreme scores on the economic status dimension and rates of social and psychological disequilibrium to happiness of its residents, and (b) both aggregate and individual measures of economic status to happiness. Nonverbal behaviors such as suicide, attempted suicide, homicide, marital separation, and psychiatric disruptions served as indicators of the location of "more or less" happiness in the urban environment. Interviews in two types of neighborhoods revealed that people in the high economic-low misery neighborhood experienced greater happiness than those living in the low economic-high misery neighborhood.
本研究试图将（a）在经济地位维度上得分极高或极低的城市社区类型以及社会和心理失衡率与居民的幸福感联系起来，以及（b）经济地位的总体和个体衡量指标与幸福感联系起来。诸如自杀、自杀未遂、凶杀、婚姻破裂和精神紊乱等非语言行为作为城市环境中“或多或少”幸福所在位置的指标。对两种类型社区的访谈显示，经济状况良好、痛苦程度较低社区的居民比生活在经济状况较差、痛苦程度较高社区的居民体验到更大的幸福感。
