大样本的数据从世界价值观调查，美国基准调查和可比的加拿大调查被用来估计方程，旨在探索社会背景下的主观评价的福祉，幸福和健康。社会资本，以家庭、邻里、宗教和社区关系的强度来衡量，被发现支持身体健康和主观幸福感。我们的新证据证实，社会资本通过许多独立的渠道和几种不同的形式与主观幸福感密切相关。婚姻和家庭、与朋友和邻居的关系、工作场所的关系、公民参与（个人和集体）、可信度和信任：所有这些似乎都与幸福和生活满意度有着独立和强有力的关系，无论是直接关系还是通过对健康的影响。
Large samples of data from the World Values Survey, the US Benchmark Survey and a comparable Canadian survey are used to estimate equations designed to explore the social context of subjective evaluations of well-being, of happiness, and of health. Social capital, as measured by the strength of family, neighbourhood, religious and community ties, is found to support both physical health and subjective well-being.Our new evidence confirms that social capital is strongly linked to subjective well-being through many independent channels and in several different forms. Marriage and family, ties to friends and neighbours, workplace ties, civic engagement (both individually and collectively), trustworthiness and trust: all appear independently and robustly related to happiness and life satisfaction, both directly and through their impact on health.
