individual's momentary thought-action repertoire• The expansion of the repertoire builds an individual's personal resources.• For example: Joy

•拓展-建构的积极情绪理论 (芭芭拉弗雷德里克森)• 积极情绪的一部份（喜悦，感兴趣，满足感，爱）可拓展个人即时的思维-行动范畴

15

Theories of Happiness关于辛福的理论



• Genetic/personality predisposition theories• See happiness as stable

• “hedonic adaptation”—that is, the tendency for people to adjust back to their baseline happiness (happiness set-point) after a positive event

• up to 40% of positive emotionality and 55% of negative emotionality are genetically based

16

Theories of Happiness关于快乐的理论

Determinants of Subjective Well-Being/Happiness决定主观幸福感的因素

• Money• There is a strong relationship between income and well-being among the

impoverished but an insignificant relationship between the two variables among the affluent

17

•金钱• 贫困人口的收入与幸福感之间有很强的关系，但是富裕人群的两个变量之间的关系却不显著



• Marriage• married men and women alike report more happiness than those who are not married

(never married, divorced, or separated)

• marital quality also is positively associated with personal well-being

• American parents are notably less happy than their childless adults• Likely due to work-family conflict

18


•婚姻• 已婚男女都比未婚（从未结婚，离婚或分居）的幸福感更高

• 婚姻的质量也与个人幸福感成正相关

• 美国做父母快乐的程度的很明显的比没有孩子的成年人要来得低（有可能是因为工作压力和量都太多）
