背景：在西方进行的大多数积极心理学干预都集中在个人身上。在中国的集体主义文化中，家庭关系受到高度重视，了解以家庭为中心的干预措施是否能改善中国人的福祉是很有意义的。我们以前曾报道过积极心理学家庭干预在家庭幸福方面的有效性。基于来自幸福家庭厨房II项目的数据，本文探讨了以社区为基础的积极心理学家庭干预对主观幸福感和健康相关的生活quality of life.Methods的有效性：31个社会服务单位和学校组织的干预计划，在香港的2070名参与者。在一项随机分组对照试验中，参与者根据计算机生成的数字被随机分配到干预组或对照组。干预计划强调五个积极心理学主题之一：快乐，感恩，流动，品味和倾听。对照组从事与干预无关的活动，如艺术和手工艺讲习班。分别于干预前、干预后4周和12周评定主观幸福感和心身生活质量。结果表明，在干预后12周，干预在改善主观幸福感方面比对照条件更有效，效果大小较小（beta = .15，p = .020，Cohen's d = .16）。然而，与对照组相比，干预组在4周时的精神和身体生活质量没有改善（β = 0.39，p = 0.494，d = 0.05; β = -. 10，p = 1.000，d = -。01）和干预后12周（分别为β = .71，p = .233，d = .08; β = -.05，p = 1.000，d = -.01）。此外，在提高主观幸福感方面，（β = .00，p = .990，d = .00）或精神（β = 1.20，p = 1.000，d = -.04）和身体生活质量（β = 0.15，p = 1.000，d =-0.01）。结论：通过显示积极心理学家庭干预可以提高主观幸福感，分析扩展了以前对家庭幸福感有益影响的发现。最后对未来的研究提出了建议。
Background: Most positive psychology interventions conducted in the West have been focused on the individual. Family relationships are highly valued in the Chinese collectivist culture, and it is of interest to know whether family-focused interventions can improve the well-being of Chinese people. We have previously reported the effectiveness of a positive psychology family intervention in terms of family well-being. Based on the data derived from the Happy Family Kitchen II project, this paper examines the effectiveness of a community-based positive psychology family intervention on subjective happiness and health-related quality of life.Methods: Thirty-one social service units and schools organized intervention programs for 2070 participants in Hong Kong. In a cluster randomized controlled trial, participants were randomly assigned on the basis of computer-generated numbers into the intervention group or the control group. The intervention programs emphasized one of five positive psychology themes: joy, gratitude, flow, savoring, and listening. The control group engaged in activities unrelated to the intervention, such as arts and crafts workshops. Subjective happiness and mental and physical quality of life were assessed at baseline and at 4 weeks and 12 weeks postintervention.Results: Data of 1261 participants were analyzed. The results showed that the intervention was more effective than the control condition in improving subjective happiness, with a small effect size, at 12 weeks postintervention (beta = .15, p = .020, Cohen's d = .16). However, there were no improvements in mental and physical quality of life in the intervention group compared with the control group at 4 weeks (beta = .39, p = .494, d = .05; beta = -. 10, p = 1.000, d = -. 01, respectively) and 12 weeks postintervention (beta = .71, p = .233, d = .08; beta = -.05, p = 1.000, d = -.01, respectively). Furthermore, the booster session was no more effective than the tea gathering session in improving subjective happiness (beta = .00, p = .990, d = .00) or mental (beta = 1.20, p = 1.000, d = -.04) and physical quality of life (beta = .15, p = 1.000, d = -.01).Conclusions: The analyses extend previous findings of salutary effects on family well-being by showing that positive psychology family interventions can improve subjective happiness. Suggestions for future research are proposed.
