适应行为和不同的参照尺度会使个人对福祉的自我评估产生偏差。在本文中，我们分析了这些偏见的影响，对健康质量的主观衡量标准和质量调整生命年的权重来自这个健康措施。结果发现，主观健康测量的参考尺度随年龄而变化。考虑到适应性和参照偏差的尺度，健康问题和残疾的质量调整生命年权重大部分较低。(C)2000 Elsevier Science B.V.版权所有。JEL分类：I1。
Adaptation behaviour and different scales of reference can bias self-assessments of well-being by individuals. In this paper, we analyse the impact of these biases on a subjective measure of the quality of health and on the QALY weights derived from this health measure. It is found that the scale of reference of the subjective health measure changes with age. Accounting for adaptation and scale of reference bias lower's most of the QALY weights for health problems and disabilities. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.JEL classification: I1.
