Cultural diversity of well-being

为了发展在衡量社会增长的文化敏感性的想法，我们研究了社会发展和社会福祉的过程中的跨文化方案。我们进行了一系列的理论研究和两项大型的跨文化实证研究;我们的数据收集涵盖了50个国家。关于社会发展目标的规划，我们收集了来自9个国家的近3 000名参与者的数据。我们的研究结果表明，虽然外行人在不同文化中以相对相似的方式理解现代化，但他们对现代化具体途径的看法却大不相同。在我们实证研究的第二条线上，我们完成了来自50个国家的近13，000名参与者的数据收集。

In order to develop the idea of cultural sensitivity in measuring societal growth, we studied the societal development and societal well-being processes in a cross-cultural scheme. We carried out a series of theoretical studies, and two large cross-cultural empirical studies; our data collection covered fifty countries. On mapping of the aims of societal development, we collected data from almost 3,000 participants from nine countries. Our findings from this study demonstrate that while lay people understand modernization in relatively similar ways across cultures, their perceptions of specific pathways of modernization are largely different. In the secondary line of our empirical study, we finalized data collection from almost 13,000 participants from fifty countries.
