中国大学生幸福评价的时间轨迹

幸福评价的时间轨迹是指人们对自己的过去、现在和将来的幸福评价的轨迹。从过去、现在和将来角度来研究幸福, 对于全面理解幸福本质具有重要的意义。本研究用两项研究探索了中国大学生的幸福评价的时间轨迹。研究1让130名大学生完成时间维度生活满意度量表, 结果发现, 中国大学生认为过去与现在的幸福没有显著区别, 将来比过去和现在都幸福, 即过去幸福=现在幸福 < 将来幸福, 这与西方的研究结果过去幸福 < 现在幸福 < 将来幸福的轨迹不同。研究2采用实验法, 让45名大学生对描述幸福和不幸福的形容词进行评定, 再次支持了中国大学生的这一幸福评价的时间轨迹。不幸福评价的时间轨迹呈现出过去不幸福=现在不幸福 > 将来不幸福的趋势。

The Temporal Trajectory for Subective Well-being among Chinese College Students

Temporal trajectories for subjective well-being incorporate individuals' appraisals of their past, present, and anticipated future well-being. The exploration on the well-beings that are evaluated from the past, present and future perspective has important significance for a comprehensive understanding of the essence of well-being. To explore this subjective temporal trajectories among Chinese college students, two studies were designed. In study 1, we asked 130 participants to fill the Temporal Satisfaction with Life Scale. The results showed that the ratings for their past and present well-being do not have significant difference, but are both lower than the rating of future well-being, i.e. past well-being= present well-being < future well-being. The trajectory of subjective well-being among Chinese college students is different from the western trajectory (past well-being < present well-being < future well-being). In study 2, an designed experiment asked 45 students to evaluate some adjectives about happniess and unhappniess, which revealed a same trajectory of subjective well-being with Study 1.
