人们普遍认为，自评健康是成年期主观幸福感的最强预测因素。不明白的是这两个变量之间的关系一致的原因。其他文献表明，自我报告的健康评级是客观的身体健康状况和神经质的函数。本研究同时并前瞻性地探讨了神经质、医生评定的健康状况、自我评定的健康状况和主观幸福感之间的相互关系。对不同性别、主观幸福感指标和测量次数的关系进行了比较。样本包括243名男性和225名女性的横断面分析和185名男性和165名女性的纵向分析。结果表明：1. (1)自评健康与神经质、医生自评健康和主观幸福感显著相关; (2)神经质与主观幸福感显著相关;3. (3)医生评定的健康与主观幸福感呈弱相关; (4)排除神经质比排除医生评定的健康更能减少自我评定的健康和主观幸福感之间的联系。神经质与主观幸福感显著相关，未来对主观幸福感影响因素的研究应包括神经质和医生评定健康的测量。
There is general consensus that self-rated health is the strongest predictor of subjective well-being during adulthood. What is not understood is the reason for the consistent relationship between these two variables. Other literature suggests that self-report health ratings are a function of both objective physical health status and neuroticism. This study examines the interrelationships among neuroticism, physician-rated health, self-rated health and subjective well-being concurrently and prospectively. Relationships are compared across gender, indicators of subjective well-being and times of measurement. The sample includes 243 men and 225 women in the cross-sectional analyses and 185 men and 165 women in the longitudinal analyses. As predicted, the results indicate that:1.(1) self-rated health is significantly correlated with neuroticism, physician-rated health and subjective well-being;2.(2) neuroticism is significantly related to subjective well-being;3.(3) physician-rated health is weakly correlated with subjective well-being; and4.(4) partialling out neuroticism reduces the association between self-rated health and subjective well-being more than partialling out physician-rated health. Unexpectedly, neuroticism is significantly related to changes in subjective well-being.Future studies of the determinants of subjective well-being should include measures of neuroticism and physician-rated health.
