幸福的维度是什么？也就是说，个人需要实现哪些普遍目标才能提高他们的幸福感？社会生产函数理论认为，普遍目标情感、行为确认、地位、舒适度和刺激性是主观幸福感的相关维度。实现这些实质性目标以及对未来实现这些目标的机会的看法有助于幸福的情感和认知部分。这一理论的理论阐述已在其他地方发表。本研究提供了幸福感维度的测量工具。为了测量情感程度、行为确认、状态、舒适度和刺激，并经验性地验证幸福感的维度，开发了SPF-IL量表。本文介绍了一项初步研究(n=145)、主要研究(n=1094)、重测测试(n=163)和验证性研究(n=725)的结果。通过结构方程模型对测量模型进行检验。验证性因素分析支持幸福感的维度结构，表明结构效度。尽管对状态的测量有一些问题，但模型的总体拟合度是足够的，重测研究显示出可接受的稳定性水平。至于维度及其测量的内容效度，各种子研究表明，SPF-IL量表是一个有效的工具，至少可以做得和流行的总体幸福感测量一样好，但也明确了它的维度。
What are the dimensions of well-being? That is, what universal goals need to be realized by individuals in order to enhance their well-being? Social production function (SPF) theory asserts that the universal goals affection, behavioral confirmation, status, comfort and stimulation are the relevant dimensions of subjective well-being. Realization of these substantive goals and the perspective on opportunities to realize these goals in the future contributes to the affective and cognitive component of well-being. The theoretical elaboration of this theory has been published elsewhere. This paper provides a measurement instrument for the dimensions of well-being. To measure levels of affection, behavioral confirmation, status, comfort and stimulation and empirically validate the dimensions of wellbeing, the SPF-IL scale was developed. This paper presents findings from a pilot study (n = 145), the main study (n = 1094), a test-retest examination (n = 163), and a validation study (n = 725). The measurement model was tested by means of structural equation modeling. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the dimensional structure of well-being indicating construct validity. The overall fit of the model was sufficient, in spite of the somewhat problematic measurement of status, and the test-retest study showed an acceptable level of stability. As for the content validity of the dimensions and their measurement, various sub-studies showed that the SPF-IL scale is a valid instrument, doing at least as well as popular measures of overall well-being but also specifying its dimensions.
