This study investigates the link between social relationship and subjective well-being in the context of social stratification. The authors examine how perceived quality of social relationships and subjective social class are linked to self-reported happiness among men and women in South Korea. The study finds that one’s perception of relative social standing is positively associated with happiness independently of objective indicators of socioeconomic status, while social relationship quality strongly predicts the happiness among both men and women. However, the mediation pathway and moderating effects vary by gender. For men, the nexus between subjective social class and happiness is partially mediated by the quality of interpersonal relationships. No similar mediating effect is found among women. The study also finds gender difference in whether the link between social relationship quality and happiness varies by subjective social class. The happiness return to positive social relationships increases as men’s subjective social status becomes higher, which is consistent with the resource multiplication hypothesis. No similar moderation effect is found among women. Combined, these results reveal potentially different pathways to happiness across gender in Korea, where social status competition, collectivistic culture, and patriarchal gender relations are salient in daily life.

主观社会阶层、社会关系感知质量和幸福感:跨性别调解和适度的案例

本研究调查了社会分层背景下社会关系与主观幸福感之间的联系。作者研究了社会关系的感知质量和主观社会阶层与韩国男性和女性自我报告的幸福感之间的关系。研究发现,一个人对相对社会地位的看法与幸福感呈正相关,独立于社会经济地位的客观指标,而社会关系质量强烈预测男性和女性的幸福感。然而,中介途径和调节效应因性别而异。对于男性来说,主观社会阶层和幸福之间的联系部分是由人际关系质量来调节的。在女性中没有发现类似的中介效应。该研究还发现,社会关系质量与幸福感之间的联系是否因主观社会阶层而异,存在性别差异。随着男性主观社会地位的提高,积极社会关系的幸福回报增加,这与资源倍增假说是一致的。在女性中没有发现类似的调节作用。综合起来,这些结果揭示了韩国不同性别的潜在幸福途径,在韩国,社会地位竞争、集体主义文化和父权制性别关系在日常生活中很突出。这与资源倍增假设一致。在女性中没有发现类似的调节作用。综合起来,这些结果揭示了韩国不同性别的潜在幸福途径,在韩国,社会地位竞争、集体主义文化和父权制性别关系在日常生活中很突出。这与资源倍增假设一致。在女性中没有发现类似的调节作用。综合起来,这些结果揭示了韩国不同性别的潜在幸福途径,在韩国,社会地位竞争、集体主义文化和父权制性别关系在日常生活中很突出。
