这份报告分析了1972年至1989年关于已婚和未婚个人幸福感的综合社会调查数据。早期的研究（Glenn和Weaver，1988年）报告说，这两类人之间的差异显著减少，从1972年到1986年，已婚者的“优势”逐渐下降。这篇文章表明，这一过程在20世纪80年代后期有所逆转，婚姻对幸福的影响在1987年和1988年恢复到相当典型的水平，而在20世纪80年代初期，婚姻对幸福的影响只有几年的相对较小的差异。然而，这一差距在1989年再次缩小。分析表明，未婚男性和年轻未婚女性在20世纪80年代末比70年代更幸福，而年轻已婚女性在20世纪80年代末比70年代更不幸福。然而，这些趋势一般比先前的证据所显示的要弱。
This report analyzes General Social Survey data from 1972 through 1989 on the personal happiness of married and never-married individuals. Earlier studies (Glenn and Weaver, 1988) had reported a significant decrease in the difference between these two categories, with the "advantage" of the married progressively declining from 1972 through 1986. This article shows that the process reversed somewhat during the latter part of the 1980s, with the effect of marriage on happiness returning to fairly typical levels in 1987 and 1988 after several years of relatively minimal differences in the early part of the decade. However, the difference diminished once again in 1989. The analysis shows that never-married males and younger never-married females were happier in the late 1980s than in the 1970s, and that younger married women were somewhat less happy in the late 1980s than in the 1970s. These trends, however, are generally weaker than earlier evidence suggested.
