Subjective well-being (SWB) is an extremely active area of research with about 170,000 articles and books published on the topic in the past 15 years. Methodological and theoretical advances have been notable in this period of time, with the increasing use of longitudinal and experimental designs allowing for a greater understanding of the predictors and outcomes that relate to SWB, along with the process that underlie these associations. In addition, theories about these processes have become more intricate, as findings reveal that many associations with SWB depend on people's culture and values and the context in which they live. This review provides an overview of many major areas of research, including the measurement of SWB, the demographic and personality-based predictors of SWB, and process-oriented accounts of individual differences in SWB. In addition, because a major new focus in recent years has been the development of national accounts of subjective well-being, we also review attempts to use SWB measures to guide policy decisions.

主观幸福感科学的进展和悬而未决的问题。

主观幸福感 (SWB) 是一个极其活跃的研究领域，在过去 15 年里大约有 170,000 篇关于该主题的文章和书籍发表。在此期间，方法论和理论的进步引人注目，纵向和实验设计的使用越来越多，使人们能够更好地理解与主观幸福感相关的预测因素和结果，以及这些关联背后的过程。此外，有关这些过程的理论变得更加复杂，因为研究结果表明，许多与主观幸福感的联系取决于人们的文化和价值观以及他们生活的环境。这篇综述概述了许多主要研究领域，包括主观幸福感的测量、基于人口和个性的主观幸福感预测因素，以及主观幸福感个体差异的面向过程的解释。此外，由于近年来的一个主要新焦点是主观幸福感国民账户的发展，我们还回顾了利用主观幸福感措施指导政策决策的尝试。
