Abstract This paper is about the impact of social bonding on subjective wellbeing. Statistical analysis of the 2017 ISSP module data from 30 member societies provides the following findings. First, the 30 societies show a large variation in measures of social bonding and subjective wellbeing. Second, an individual’s subjective wellbeing is significantly higher when he/she is socially engaged as compared to the socially isolated, and this is so even after individual attributes are statistically controlled for. Third, social eating participation has a positive impact on subjective wellbeing. Finally, the above-described empirical results are used to create a relational world map, within which societies are located on the intersection of formal and informal channels of social bonding. This map makes it explicit that a country’s dominant mode of social bonding matters for its citizens’ subjective wellbeing.

社会联系和主观幸福感：来自 2017 ISSP 模块的发现

摘要 本文是关于社会纽带对主观幸福感的影响。对来自 30 个成员协会的 2017 年 ISSP 模块数据的统计分析提供了以下发现。首先，这 30 个社会在社会联系和主观幸福感方面表现出很大差异。其次，与社会孤立者相比，一个人在社会参与时的主观幸福感显着更高，即使在对个人属性进行统计控制之后也是如此。第三，社会饮食参与对主观幸福感有积极影响。最后，上述实证结果用于创建关系世界地图，其中社会位于正式和非正式社会联系渠道的交叉点。
