The first part of the study confirmed an additive effect of the newly proposed construct of relationship harmony to self-esteem in predicting life satisfaction across student samples from the United States and Hong Kong. As predicted from the dynamics of cultural collectivism, the relative importance of relationship harmony to self-esteem was greater in Hong Kong than in the United States. In the second part of the study, the independent and interdependent self-construals (H. R. Markus & S. Kitayama, 1991) and the 5 factors of personality (P. T. Costa & R. R. McCrae, 1992) were advanced to be the culture-general determinants of life satisfaction, acting through the mediating variables of self-esteem and relationship harmony. Both self-construals and the 5 factors of personality were shown to influence life satisfaction through the mediating agency of self-esteem and relationship harmony in equivalent ways across these 2 cultural groups.
该研究的第一部分证实，新提出的关系和谐结构对自尊具有累加效应，在预测来自美国和香港的学生样本的生活满意度方面发挥作用。正如从文化集体主义动态中所预测的那样，关系和谐对自尊的相对重要性在香港比在美国更大。在研究的第二部分中，独立和相互依存的自我构念（H. R. 马库斯和S. 北山，1991）以及人格的五因素（P. T. 科斯塔和R. R. 麦克雷，1992）被认为是生活满意度的文化通用决定因素，通过自尊和关系和谐的中介变量起作用。在这两个文化群体中，自我构念和人格五因素都通过自尊和关系和谐的中介作用，以同等方式影响生活满意度。
