最近的文献通常发现生活满意度与年龄之间存在U形关系。然而，如果不对群组和/或时间概况施加任意限制，就无法确定年龄概况。在本文中，我们报告了什么可以确定的生活满意度和年龄之间的关系，而不适用这样的限制。此外，我们确定的限制需要得出结论，生活满意度是U形的年龄。对于德国的情况下，我们发现，生活满意度和年龄之间的关系确实是U形的，但只有在不可检验的条件下，线性时间趋势是负的，跨出生队列的线性趋势几乎是平的。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Recent literature typically finds a U shaped relationship between life satisfaction and age. Age profiles, however, are not identified without forcing arbitrary restrictions on the cohort and/or time profiles. In this paper we report what can be identified about the relationship between life satisfaction and age without applying such restrictions. Also, we identify the restrictions needed to conclude that life satisfaction is U shaped in age. For the case of Germany, we find that the relationship between life satisfaction and age is indeed U shaped, but only under the untestable condition that the linear time trend is negative and that the linear trend across birth cohorts is practically flat.
