The American Psychological Association ushered in the millennium with the Decade of Behavior and a call to promote “a healthier nation, a safer nation, a better educated nation, a more prosperous nation and a more democratic nation” (Azar, 2000, p. 10). A decade later, in the Academy of Management Perspectives special issue on international happiness, Blanchflower and Oswald (2011) concluded, “this multidisciplinary research field is, and will remain, one of genuine significance to human society. Almost everyone is interested in happiness” (p. 19). Indeed, variations of subjective well-being (SWB)—assessments along the lines of satisfaction, happiness, or the quality of life—are among the most frequently posed criteria in all the social sciences (Brass, Galaskiewicz, Greve, & Tsai, 2004; Ryan & Deci, 2001). Whereas satisfaction reflects more of a cognitive evaluation of one’s life, the assessment of happiness includes an affective element, drawing more on emotions though still retaining a cognitive component. Combined, satisfaction and happiness is referred to as SWB. Collectively, we as individuals assess and predict SWB for life in general as well as each of its domains, such as family and work. Our obsession is well justified.

快乐文化：文化与财富与主观幸福感之间关系的理论，元分析和实证研究

美国心理学会迎来了“行为十年”的千禧年，并呼吁倡导“更健康的国家，更安全的国家，受过良好教育的国家，更富裕的国家和更民主的国家”（Azar，2000年，第10页） ）。十年后，在管理展望学院Blanchflower and Oswald（2011）的国际幸福专刊总结说：“这个多学科研究领域一直并将继续对人类社会具有真正意义。几乎每个人都对幸福感兴趣”（第19页）。确实，主观幸福感（SWB）的变化（根据满意度，幸福感或生活质量进行的评估）是所有社会科学中最常提出的标准之一（黄铜，加拉斯基维奇，格雷夫和蔡，2004年） ; Ryan＆Deci，2001）。满意度更多地反映了人们对生活的认知评估，而幸福的评估则包含情感因素，尽管仍然保留了认知成分，但更多地利用了情感。结合起来，满足和幸福被称为SWB。总的来说，我们作为个人评估和预测SWB的总体生命以及其每个领域，例如家庭和工作。我们的痴迷是有道理的。
