Diener（1984）提出了主观幸福感的概念，主观幸福感包括生活满意度（LS）、积极影响（PA）和消极影响（NA）三个主要组成部分。Busseri和Sadava（2011）确定了主观幸福感三方结构的多种相互竞争的概念，并描述了这种模糊性在定义、操作、分析和综合有关主观幸福感的信息方面的问题。本研究对四种相互竞争的结构方法进行了实证评估，其中主观幸福感被不同地概念化为三个独立的组成部分（模型1）、一个层次结构（模型2）、一个因果系统（模型3）和一个复合结构（模型4）。来自中年美国人（N=3,707； 20-75岁，55%女性，94%高加索人）的纵向研究数据被用来检验三个主观幸福感成分在时间内和时间内的相关性和独立性，以及对主观幸福感的预测作用。各种结构模型在如何充分适应主观幸福感成分的联合相关性/独立性方面存在差异，并导致关于主观幸福感预测效果的不同结论。在模型内部和跨模型考虑概念和经验方面的考虑。本文讨论了进一步理解主观幸福感三方结构的意义和下一步工作。
Diener (1984) introduced the concept of subjective well-being (SWB) as comprising three primary components: life satisfaction (LS), positive affect (PA), and negative affect (NA). Busseri and Sadava (2011) identified multiple competing conceptualizations of the tripartite structure of SWB and delineated problems with this ambiguity with respect to defining, operationalizing, analyzing, and synthesizing information concerning SWB. The present work provides an empirical evaluation of four competing structural approaches in which SWB is conceptualized variously as three separate components (Model 1), a hierarchical construct (Model 2), a causal system (Model 3), and a composite (Model 4). Data from a longitudinal study of middle-aged Americans (N=3,707; 20-75 years old, 55% female, 94% Caucasian) were used to examine the relatedness versus independence of the three SWB components within and across time, as well as predictive effects on SWB. The various structural models differ in how adequately they accommodate the joint relatedness/independence of the SWB components and lead to different conclusions concerning predictive effects on SWB. Conceptual and empirical considerations are considered within and across models. Implications and next steps for further understanding the tripartite structure of SWB are discussed.
