儿童主观幸福感的性别差异是儿童研究中常见的现象，但这些差异的性质、原因和影响尚不清楚。本文利用儿童世界研究的数据，一个国际调查的儿童福祉在不同的国家，以检查SWB的结构，绘制不同的生活领域，并比较这些领域对男孩和女孩的SWB的影响。结构方程模型用于检查主观幸福感较低的12岁男孩和女孩之间的差异（样本的底部25%）。研究结果显示，不同性别的青少年主观幸福感结构具有可比性;女生的主观幸福感低于男生;不同领域的主观幸福感对男生和女生的重要性存在差异。具体而言，女生的主观幸福感似乎更受关系因素的驱动，而男生的主观幸福感更受学业成就的影响。
Gender differences in subjective well-being (SWB) are a common finding in studies of children, but the nature, causes and effects of these differences remain unclear. This article draws on data from the Children's Worlds study, an international survey of child well-being across countries, to examine the structure of SWB drawing on different life domains, and comparing the effects of these domains on SWB for boys and girls. Structural equation modelling is used to examine differences between 12 year old boys and girls who reported low subjective wellbeing (bottom 25% of the sample). Findings reveal that the structure of SWB is comparable across the genders; girls' SWB was lower than boys; and different domains of SWB vary in their importance for boys and girls. Specifically, girls' SWB appears to be more driven by relational factors, whilst boys' SWB is more driven by perceived academic achievement.
