这项研究调查了六大洲37个国家的社会资本和负面事件对主观幸福感的影响，以期在创建可持续城市和社区的过程中提高生活质量。利用大规模、原始、个人层面的横断面调查数据，我们考察了社会网络中的负面事件、社会资本和个人主观幸福感之间的关系。在高收入国家和非高收入国家都发现了这些事件对生活满意度的负面影响。此外，人们的幸福感与所有37个国家组织良好的社交网络高度相关，尽管影响的程度各不相同，这可能是因为社交网络实现的好处因国家而异。旨在提高生活满意度的政策不仅应侧重于增加家庭收入，还应考虑社会资本的实质性影响。
This study investigates the effect of social capital and negative events in 37 countries across six continents on subjective well-being, to improve the quality of life in creating sustainable cities and communities. Using large-scale, original, individual-level, cross-sectional survey data, we examine the relationships among negative events in social networks, social capital, and individuals’ subjective well-being. The negative impacts of these events on life satisfaction were found in both high-income and non-high-income countries. Moreover, people’s well-being was highly associated with well-organized social networks across all 37 countries, whereas the magnitude of the effects varied, this might be because the benefits realized from social network are variated across countries. Policies aimed at improving life satisfaction should not only focus on increasing the household income but also consider the substantial impact of social capital.
