我们研究了善良的性格强度和主观幸福感之间的关系（研究1），以及计数善良干预对主观幸福感的影响（研究2）。在研究1中，参与者为175名日本本科生，在研究2中，参与者为119名日本女性（干预组71名，对照组48名）。结果表明：（1）快乐的人在他们的表现动机，他们的识别和善良行为的制定上得分更高。(b)快乐的人在日常生活中无论从数量还是质量上都拥有更多快乐的回忆。(c)主观幸福感仅仅通过计算一周内自己的善举来增加。(d)幸福的人通过计数善意的干预变得更加善良和感激。讨论的中心是善良在产生主观幸福感方面的重要性。
We examined the relationship between the character strength of kindness and subjective happiness (Study 1), and the effects of a counting kindnesses intervention on subjective happiness (Study 2). In Study 1, participants were 175 Japanese undergraduate students and in Study 2, participants were 119 Japanese women (71 in the intervention group and 48 in the control group). Results showed that: (a) Happy people scored higher on their motivation to perform, and their recognition and enactment of kind behaviors. (b) Happy people have more happy memories in daily life in terms of both quantity and quality. (c) Subjective happiness was increased simply by counting one's own acts of kindness for one week. (d) Happy people became more kind and grateful through the counting kindnesses intervention. Discussion centers on the importance of kindness in producing subjective happiness.
