我使用来自盖洛普世界民意调查的8个幸福数据文件中的数据来研究不幸福与年龄之间的关系，这些数据来自40个欧洲国家和美国以及168个国家的近1400万受访者。我使用了20种不同的不快乐的个人特征，包括许多不好的心理健康的日子;焦虑;担心;孤独;悲伤;压力;疼痛;紧张，抑郁和坏神经;恐惧和恐慌;沮丧;睡眠不宁;对自己失去信心;无法克服困难;紧张;不快乐;感觉失败;感觉被遗忘;感觉紧张;觉得自己是个没用的人我还分析了进一步的一般态度的措施是否在受访者的国家的情况越来越糟。对所有这些不快乐问题的回答都显示，在其他条件不变的情况下，年龄呈山形，有控制，许多人也在有限的时间和国家控制下这样做。不幸福感在年龄上呈山形，最大发生的平均年龄是49岁，有或没有控制。有一条不快乐曲线。(C)2020 Elsevier B.

I examine the relationship between unhappiness and age using data from eight well-being data files on nearly 14 million respondents across forty European countries and the United States and 168 countries from the Gallup World Poll. I use twenty different individual characterizations of unhappiness including many not good mental health days; anxiety; worry; loneliness; sadness; stress; pain; strain, depression and bad nerves; phobias and panic; being downhearted; having restless sleep; losing confidence in oneself; not being able to overcome difficulties; being under strain; being unhappy; feeling a failure; feeling left out; feeling tense; and thinking of yourself as a worthless person . I also analyze responses to a further general attitudinal measure regarding whether the situation in the respondent's country is getting worse. Responses to all these unhappiness questions show a, ceteris paribus, hill shape in age, with controls and many also do so with limited controls for time and country. Unhappiness is hill-shaped in age and the average age where the maximum occurs is 49 with or without controls. There is an unhappiness curve. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
