人们正在认真考虑私人行为和公共政策对人们主观幸福感的影响。一种新的方法来衡量幸福感，一天重建方法（DRM），权重的日常活动的持续时间，以构建时间聚合的情感成分。然而，DRM忽视了思想的潜在重要作用。通过调整这种方法，包括思想和感情，我们提供了也许是最全面的衡量主观幸福感的日期。我们发现，一些活动的乐趣相对较低（例如，工作和与孩子在一起的时间）仍然被认为是有益的，因此有助于整体SWB。这些信息可能对希望促进有利于更广泛的主观幸福感概念的行为的决策者很重要。
Serious consideration is being given to the impact of private behavior and public policies on people's subjective well-being (SWB). A new approach to measuring well-being, the day reconstruction method (DRM), weights the affective component of daily activities by their duration in order to construct temporal aggregates. However, the DRM neglects the potentially important role of thoughts. By adapting this method to include thoughts as well as feelings, we provide perhaps the most comprehensive measure of SWB to date. We show that some activities relatively low in pleasure (e.g., work and time with children) are nonetheless thought of as rewarding and therefore contribute to overall SWB. Such information may be important to policymakers wishing to promote behaviors that are conducive to a broader conception of SWB.
