这项研究考察了家庭生活的两个核心方面--收入和社会支持--在预测274名已婚成年人在10年期间的同时幸福感和幸福感变化方面的作用。作者使用分层线性模型来研究家庭收入和幸福感之间的关系。收入对幸福感的影响很小，但随着收入的增加，幸福感会减弱。相反，由凝聚力、表现力和冲突三个子量表衡量的家庭社会支持显示，即使在控制收入之后，家庭社会支持也与同时存在的幸福感存在显著的正相关。此外，家庭收入缓和了家庭社会支持与同时幸福感之间的联系；当家庭收入低时，家庭社会支持与幸福感的相关性比家庭收入高时更强。此外，家庭社会支持的变化与幸福感的变化呈正相关，而家庭收入的变化与幸福感的变化无关。这些发现表明，幸福是可以改变的，并强调了更深入地探索家庭关系在促进这种改变中所起作用的重要性。
This study examined the role of 2 central aspects of family life--income and social support--in predicting concurrent happiness and change in happiness among 274 married adults across a 10-year period. The authors used hierarchical linear modeling to investigate the relationship between family income and happiness. Income had a small, positive impact on happiness, which diminished as income increased. In contrast, family social support, measured by 3 subscales, Cohesion, Expressiveness, and Conflict, showed a substantial, positive association with concurrent happiness, even after controlling for income. Furthermore, family income moderated the association between family social support and concurrent happiness; family social support was more strongly associated with happiness when family income was low than when family income was high. In addition, change in family social support was positively related to change in happiness, whereas change in family income was unrelated to change in happiness. These findings suggest that happiness can change and underscore the importance of exploring more deeply the role that family relationships play in facilitating such change.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
