31 个国家的大学生 (N = 13,118) 完成了自尊、生活满意度和对特定领域（朋友、家庭和财务）满意度的测量。作者评估了交往强度的跨文化差异是否与包括收入和个人主义在内的社会维度有关。在国家层面，个人主义与异质性的相关性为 -.24 (ns)，与财富的相关性为 0.71 (p < .001)。在个人层面，整个样本的自尊和生活满意度相关性为 0.47。然而，这种关系受到社会个人主义的调节。不同国家的经济、朋友和家庭满意度与生活满意度和自尊之间的关联也各不相同。在较贫穷国家，财务满意度与生活满意度的相关性更强。结果发现，生活满意度和自尊是明显可区分的概念。除财务满意度外，满意度评分在轻微积极和相当积极之间变化。
College students in 31 nations (N = 13,118) completed measures of self-esteem, life satisfaction, and satisfaction with specific domains (friends, family, and finances). The authors assessed whether cross-cultural variations in the strength of associations were related to societal dimensions including income and individualism. At the national level, individualism correlated -.24 (ns) with heterogeneity and .71 (p < .001) with wealth. At the individual level, self-esteem and life satisfaction were correlated .47 for the entire:sample. This relation, however, was moderated by the individualism of the society. The associations of financial, friend, and family satisfactions with life satisfaction and with self-esteem also varied across nations. Financial satisfaction was a stronger correlate of life satisfaction in poorer countries. It was found that life satisfaction and self-esteem were clearly discriminable constructs. Satisfaction ratings, except for financial satisfaction, varied between slightly positive and fairly positive.
