主观幸福感与文化的关系研究综述

西方研究者建立了四个文化模型来解决主观幸福感的文化普遍性和特殊性的争议。遗憾的是，现有的模型各执一端。实证研究也偏重于幸福感的文化特殊性研究。近年来，国内开始重视主观幸福感的跨文化研究，并发现了幸福感的中西差异。未来研究的重点是整合有关理论，解决文化争议，采取主位研究策略，提高实证研究的效度。

A Review of the Research on the Relation between Subjective Well-being and Culture

s Western researchers established four cultural theories to solve the discussion about universal versus variable causes of subjective well-being. Unfortunately, each theory accepted either universal or variable causes of subjective well-being, and empirical research had over-emphasized cross-culture difference of subjective well-being. In recent years, Chinese researchers began to focus on the relationship between subjective well-being and culture. Thus the difference in subjective well-being between China and the West has been found. The focus of further research will integrate relevant theories to resolve the dispute over cultural difference, and adopt the emic approach to improve the validity of empirical research.
