这项研究的目的是考察种族和休闲满意度如何影响人们的幸福感、宁静感和生活质量。对中国人/加拿大人(N=261)和英国人/加拿大人(N=258)进行了三种语言的电话调查。多因素逐步回归分析表明，性别对各回归变量均无显著影响。种族对生活水平、生活成就和整个生活都有重大影响。总体休闲满意度显著影响幸福感、宁静感和所有九个生活质量领域。典型相关分析还表明，英国人和加拿大人的幸福感与生活成就呈正相关，而一些中国人和加拿大人的幸福感和人际关系呈正相关。对于一些中国/加拿大人来说，和平感与灵性/宗教和社区连通性呈正相关，而与人际关系呈负相关。本研究提供了相关的启示和研究建议。
The purpose of this study was to examine how ethnicity and leisure satisfaction affected people's happiness, peacefulness, and quality of life. A trilingual telephone survey of Chinese/Canadians (N = 261) and British/Canadians (N = 258) was conducted. Hierarchical multiple regressions indicated that sex had no significant effect on any regressors. Ethnicity significantly affected standard of living, achieving in life, and life as a whole. Overall leisure satisfaction significantly affected happiness, peacefulness, and all nine quality of life domains. Canonical correlations also showed that happiness and achieving in life were positively correlated for British/Canadians and happiness and personal relationships were positively correlated for some Chinese/Canadians. Peacefulness was positively correlated with spirituality/religion and community connectedness, but negatively correlated with personal relationships, for some Chinese/Canadians. Implications and research recommendations are provided.
