目的人们具有同时生活在时间和传记时间中的特殊能力。在本文中，我们研究了跨越过去、现在和未来的生活满意度报告，考虑了某些生活领域的感知变化如何与整体感知生活轨迹相关。方法分析使用了美国中年发展调查中的男性和女性。我们采用性别分层固定效应回归模型来检验财务、伴侣关系/婚姻、性别、对他人的贡献、工作、健康以及与孩子的关系的满意度对整体生活满意度轨迹的净效应。结果在男性中，伴侣关系和财务满意度与生活满意度的相关性最强。女性表现出与生活满意度轨迹相关的更广泛的领域。伙伴关系是最重要的，但他们不断变化的生活满意度也与他们与孩子的关系、性取向、工作状况、对他人福利的贡献以及财务状况有关。讨论我们发现男性和女性之间存在一些显着差异，但最显着的差异出现在女性本身之间。对于女性来说，伴侣满意度在各个年龄段都变得更加重要，而性、对他人的贡献以及与孩子的关系对整体生活满意度的重要性都在下降。
ObjectivePeople have a special capacity to live simultaneously in both chronological and biographical time. In this article, we examine reports of life satisfaction that span past, present, and future, considering how perceived changes in certain life domains are associated with overall perceived life trajectories.MethodsAnalyses use men and women from the Midlife Development in the United States survey. We employ gender-stratified fixed effects regression models to examine the net effect of satisfaction with finances, partnerships/marriage, sex, contribution to others, work, health, and relationship with children on trajectories of overall life satisfaction.ResultsAmong men, partnership and financial satisfaction had the strongest association with life satisfaction. Women displayed a somewhat broader range of domains related to their trajectories of life satisfaction. Partnership was most important, but their sense of evolving life satisfaction was also tied to their relationship with their children, sexuality, work situation, contribution to others’ welfare, and financial situation.DiscussionWe find several notable differences between men and women, but the most telling differences emerge among women themselves across chronological time. For women, partner satisfaction becomes considerably more important across the age groups, whereas sex, contribution to others, and relationships with children all decrease in their importance for overall life satisfaction.
