中国西部居民主观幸福感的结构与特征 ――基于西部12省调查数据的分析
The Structure and Characteristics of Subjective Well-Being of Residents in West China ―Based on the Survey Data from 12 Provinces in West China

探讨西部地区经济增长、社会转型与居民主观幸福感之间的关系；基于2010年的西部综合调查数据，按照从微观到宏观、从个体到社会的依次推进的逻辑，提出了4个理论模型分析和解释西部居民主观幸福感的结构与特征；实证结果表明：西部居民与东部相比，幸福感总体不高，身心健康模型对西部居民幸福感最具解释力，身份特征模型表明女性、老人和已婚者幸福感相对较高，而地位差异依然是影响西部居民幸福感的重要变量，社会融合是从更高层次上影响西部居民幸福感的重要维度。
This paper focuses on the effect that economic growth and social transformation have on the subjective well-being of residents in West China. Following the gradually advanced logic, we established 4 theoretical models which covered macro & micro view as well as both subjective and objective perspectives. The empirical results demonstrate that residents in West China have a comparatively lower level of happiness compared with the residents in East China. And the mental-and-physical health model is the most convincing one among the four models, which reveals that women, the aged and the married are happier. Differences in social status still influence the well-being level of western residents strongly. Social integration, in addition, is an important dimensionality that affects their subjective well-being at a higher level
