本文探讨了最近的经济衰退对英国工作年龄人口的福祉的影响，通过比较两种幸福的措施。一个是评估主观幸福感的措施，以前的研究表明，在整个经济危机期间，英国的这一措施是稳定的。第二个是积极心理健康的不同但互补的措施。通过使用相同的样本和建模技术比较这两种措施的轨迹，分析研究了不同的措施如何可能导致不同的解释。六波纵向数据从理解社会和英国家庭面板调查（BHPS）。潜曲线模型用于分析随时间的变化。结果证实了先前的研究表明，人们的评价主观幸福感保持相对稳定，平均而言，在整个经济危机。相比之下，积极的心理健康措施被发现在经济衰退期间显着下降。该文件强调，我们衡量的问题。用单一的衡量标准来概括福祉掩盖了这一术语的复杂性，而且鉴于其在社会政策竞技场中的吸引力，在某些情况下，单一的福祉衡量标准可能会被视为有问题。本文的在线版本（doi：10.1007/s11482-016-9465-8）包含补充材料，可供授权用户使用。
This article explores the impact of the recent recession on the well-being of the UK working age population by comparing two measures of well-being. One is a measure of evaluative subjective well-being, a measure which previous research has shown to be stable in the UK throughout the economic crisis. The second is a different but complementary measure of positive psychological health. By comparing the trajectories of these two measures using the same sample and modelling techniques the analysis examines how different measures may lead to different interpretations. Six waves of longitudinal data from Understanding Society and the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) are used. Latent curve models are used to analyse change over time. The results corroborate previous research showing that people’s evaluative subjective well-being remained relatively stable, on average, throughout the economic crisis. In contrast, the positive psychological health measure was found to decline significantly during the recession period. The paper highlights that what we measure matters. Using single measures as summaries of well-being masks the complexity of the term, and given their appeal in the social policy arena, single measures of well-being can be seen as problematic in some scenarios.
