目的是确定遗传和环境的影响之间的协方差主观幸福感(SWB),自觉健康,和躯体疾病。研究人员对6,576对18-31岁的挪威双胞胎进行了分析。遗传力从0.24到0.66不等。SWB与感知健康相关0.50,与肌肉骨骼疼痛相关-0.25,与过敏相关-0.07。常见遗传因素占关联的45%-60%。主观幸福感和自觉健康在很大程度上受到相同基因的影响(r(g)= 0.72和0.82的男性和女性,分别)。对于SWB和肌肉骨骼疼痛,男性和女性的r(g)分别为-.29和-.42。影响部分性别特异性。双胞胎共享的环境因素不影响协方差。结果支持不同的看法,主观幸福感与健康的关系,并暗示,基因和环境发挥重要作用,幸福感和健康之间的关联。
The aim was to identify genetic and environmental influences on the covariances between subjective well-being (SWB), perceived health, and somatic illness. Analyses were based on 6,576 Norwegian twins aged 18-31. Heritabilities ranged from .24 to .66. SWB correlated .50 with perceived health, -.25 with musculoskeletal pain, and -.07 with allergy. Common genetic factors accounted for 45%-60% of associations. SWB and perceived health was to a high extent influenced by the same genes (r(g) = .72 and .82 for males and females, respectively). For SWB and musculoskeletal pain, r(g) = -.29 and -.42 for males and females, respectively. Effects were partly sex specific. Environmental factors shared by twins did not affect the covariances. Results support a differentiated view of SWB-health relations, and imply that both genes and environment play important roles in the associations between well-being and health.
