章节摘录

　　The empirical evidence suggests that many popular beliefs about the sources of happinessare unfounded. The data also demonstrate that happiness is shaped by a complex constellationof variables. In spite of this complexity， however， a number of worthwhile insights about humanadjustment can be gleaned from research on the correlates of subjective well-being.　　First， research on happiness demonstrates that the determinants of subjective well-being areprecisely that： subjective. Objective realities are not as important as sub-active feelings. In otherwords， your health， your wealth， your job， and your age are not as influential as how you reelabout your health， wealth， job， and age （Schwarz & Strack， 1999）.　　Second， when it comes to happiness everything is relative （Argyle， 1999）. In other words，you evaluate what you have relative to what the people around you have and relative to what youexpect to have. Generally， we compare ourselves with others who are similar to us. Thus， peoplewho are wealthy assess what they have by comparing themselves with their wealthy friends andneighbors. This is one reason for the low correlation between wealth and happiness. You mighthave a lovely home， but if it sits next to a neighbors palatial mansion， it might be a source ofmore dissatisfaction than happiness.　　Third， research on subjective well-being indicates that people often adapt to their circum-stances. This adaptation effect is one reason that increases in income dont necessarily bringincreases in happiness. Thus， hedonic adaptation occurs when the mental scale that people useto judge the pleasantness-unpleasantness of their experiences shifts so that their neutral point，or baseline for comparison， is changed. Unfortunately， when peoples experiences improve，hedonic adaptation may sometimes put them on a hedonic treadmill —— their neutral pointmoves upward， so that the improvements yield no real benefits （Kahneman； 1999）. However，when people have to grapple with major setbacks， hedonic adaptation probably helps protecttheir mental and physical health. For example， people who are sent to prison and people whodevelop debilitating diseases are not as unhappy as one might assume because they adapt totheir changed situations and evaluate events from a new perspective （Frederick & Loewenstein，1999）. This effect is probably related to the fourth conclusion we can draw about subjectivewell-being： Research shows that the quest for happiness is never hopeless （Freedman， 1978；Myers， 1992）. Mthough there are no simple recipes for happiness， the evidence indicatesthat some people find happiness in spite of seemingly insurmountable problems. There isnothing， short of terminal illness —— no setback， shortcoming， difficulty， or inadequacy —— thatmakes happiness impossible.
