在42个国家的59,169人样本中，婚姻状况和主观幸福感之间的关系在世界各地被发现非常相似。尽管文化变量被发现改变了婚姻状况和主观幸福感之间的某些关系的大小，但影响的大小非常小。具体地说，就生活满意度而言，在集体主义国家，婚姻比同居带来的好处要大于个人主义国家。在积极情绪方面，在集体主义国家，结婚比离婚或分居带来的好处要小得多。此外，在负面情绪方面，在离婚容忍度较高的国家，结婚比离婚或分居带来的好处要小。最后，婚姻状况、文化和主观幸福感之间的关系没有性别差异。由于文化变量的影响很小，作者得出结论，世界各地的婚姻状况和主观幸福感之间的关系非常相似。
In a sample of 59,169 persons in 42 nations, relations between marital status and subjective well-being were found to be very similar across the world. Although cultural variables were found to alter the size of certain relations between marital status and subjective well-being, the effect sizes were very small. Specifically, in terms of life satisfaction, the benefit of marriage over cohabitation was greater in collectivist than in individualist nations. In terms of positive emotions, the benefit of being married over being divorced or separated was smaller in collectivist than in individualist nations. In addition, in terms of negative emotions, the benefit of being married over being divorced or separated was smaller in nations with a high tolerance for divorce. Finally, the relations between marital status, culture, and subjective well-being did not differ by gender. Because of the small size of the effects of the cultural variables, the authors concluded that the relations between marital status and subjective well-being are very similar across the world.
