We d 12 studies from North America, South America, Europe, and Oceania (New Zealand) on the association between fear of crime and subjective well-being. These studies gather data from 39 countries and 407,474 subjects. Heterogeneity was found between the studies. The random effect model showed an average effect of r¯ = -.15 (ρ = -.21). Two of the studies estimated fear of crime with a single generic question and five studies assessed subjective well-being through one item of satisfaction with life. Meta-regression showed that the effect was superior in younger samples, with affective measurement of well-being in comparison with cognitive ones, of mono-item (versus multi-items) and in the countries of Latin America, suggesting that in contexts of greater frequency and seriousness of the crime the fear of crime negatively affects subjective well-being. The diffuse or concrete nature of the measure of fear did not a significant moderator effect. Limitations of the study and proposals for future research are discussed.

对犯罪的恐惧对主观幸福感的影响:一项荟萃分析

我们从北美,南美,欧洲和大洋洲(新西兰)进行了12项关于犯罪恐惧与主观幸福感之间关系的研究。这些研究收集了来自39个国家和407,474个受试者的数据。研究之间发现异质性。随机效应模型的平均效应为r = -.15(ρ= -.21)。其中两项研究通过一个通用问题评估对犯罪的恐惧感,五项研究通过一项对生活的满意度评估主观幸福感。荟萃回归显示,在年轻样本中,单项(相对于多项)和拉丁美洲国家的情感水平与认知水平相比,对幸福感的测量效果更好,这表明,在犯罪频率和严重性更高的情况下,对犯罪的恐惧会对主观幸福感产生负面影响。恐惧度量的分散性或具体性没有明显的调节作用。讨论了研究的局限性和未来研究的建议。
