注点主要放在人们生活中的情感体验以及在具体的生活事件中的时间分配。 4. 总结与展望
综上所述,两种不同测量思路侧重于主观幸福感的不同层面,前人不同思路的研究让我们对主观幸福感有了更深入的理解。将来的研究中应该更多地结合以上所述的两种思路,更要综合考察其他相关测量方法(如他人报告、生理指标)等来探讨主观幸福感。
另外,多数生活的变化对于被试自我报告幸福感的影响效果小,且持续时间不长是幸福感研究中的一大难题。举一个常被引用的极端例子(Brickman et al., 1978),截瘫病人幸福感的主观幸福感报告并非很不快乐,而彩票中奖者的主观幸福感报告也并非很快乐。Oswald等人(Oswald et al.,2005)一项长达两年的纵向研究表示,轻度残疾患者在患病初的平均生活满意度有所降低,但发病两年后对生活满意度的报告又会完全恢复至患病前的水平。来自Clark等人(Clark et al., 2003)的研究数据表明,生活时间如婚姻、失去亲人等对于生活满意度的影响也只有短期效应。这种短期效益在积极心理学领域被称作“快乐水车”(hedonic treadmill),用来表明生活事件对人们对幸福感主观评价的暂时性影响。当人们根据客观环境的改变逐渐改变自身需求时,生活环境的改善将不再导致生活总体满意度评价的提高。此时,被试的体验有所提升,而生活满意度的评价指标保持不变。因此需要将生活体验与总体满意度区分开来进行测量。人生际遇改变而主观幸福感的评价只有短期变化,引起了经济学家、社会学家对于主观幸福感这一指标社会意义的质疑。因其掺杂了人的主观认知成分,作为衡量客观环境变化的指标不够敏感。如何克服主观幸福感的适应性问题,寻找更加敏感的测量方法是这一领域需要进一步探讨的问题。
最后,Layard指出(Layard, 2010), 目前的测量的主观幸福感影响因素与社会因素、政策支持等方面相关很大,对主观幸福感的干预主要依赖于社会政策的改变,而通过受试者个人主观努力很难改变。如身心健康、家庭稳定、社会生活、有责任的父母、就业等问题都需要社会层面的支持才能解决。未来最好能发展一种不同的测量系统,直接测量被试的主观幸福感的各种主观因素。如果社会科学能提供一种对主观幸福感的定量研究,被试经过调查可以自主了解其主观幸福感的总体情况,人们也可以更多了解什么因素在影响人们的幸福以及如何影
响,将为人们更深入地了解主观幸福感提供新的思路。 5. 参考文献
