社会主义道德建设提升社会和谐度之分析

构建社会主义和谐社会是目前全党和全国人民共同关注的头等大事,而这项工作的根本出发点和最终落脚点是提升人民群众的幸福感,包括物质幸福感和人际幸福感。所以,政府不仅需要解决人们的就业、医疗、养老、安全生产以及环保等客观物质生活保障,还要重视对公民社会主义道德观的培养和训练,提升人们在现实生活中的人际幸福感。胡锦涛总书记提出的“八荣八耻”社会主义荣辱观就是党和政府在这方面做出的重要贡献。     

经济因素对家庭幸福感的影响机制初探

鉴于以往对个体幸福感的微观研究大多只关心自己感兴趣的变量,甚至只是以双变量分析得出经济收入对幸福感影响的结论,本研究依据多元理论视角,通过建立一个综合性的解释模型,探讨经济因素对家庭幸福感的影响机制.结果表明,经济收入并非是影响幸福感的主要因素,精神/感情生活满意度、积极乐观的心态、家庭成员间的和谐相处和人际协调对提升幸福感更具积极意义.从经济因素制约机制看,绝对收入决定论、相对经济地位认同的作用不大,而欲望理论和家庭压力论对家庭幸福感的负面效应却更大些.     

The Roles of Love and Happiness in Divorce Decision Making

Little is known about divorce decision making, the process of deciding whether to divorce when a marriage is distressed. The focus of this qualitative study was to explore the roles of love and happiness—two Western ideals that govern contemporary marital processes—in divorce decision making. Married participants (N = 30) with recent thoughts about divorce were interviewed about their conceptions of love and happiness in their decision-making processes. The resulting categories for love included: (a) importance of love, (b) change over time, and (c) marital love. The categories for happiness included: (a) fluidity of happiness and (b) balancing happiness. Implications of the findings are discussed.     

发展哲学视域的主体追求：快乐

知识经济与市场竞争要求的高度理性使主体在发展中对“快乐”与幸福境界的追求愈加强烈和困难。各种技术手段制作出来的“快乐”,各种传媒传播的艺术“快乐”,几乎使人们生活在一种人工制造的“快乐”境界。按照唯物史观,只有创造财富的劳动,才能形成真正的真实的持久的快乐。在商品世界中,用钱买来的并不是真实快乐。主体在发展实践追求中,要切实处理好劳动创造的快乐与艺术创造的快乐的关系,努力追求真正的快乐境界。     

论制度的道德预期功能——“有偿失物招领公司”是道德的吗

制度具有在道德方面具有预期的功能,这主要体现在制度帮助形成道德认知模式.这一功能的实现依靠个体进行成本收益来实现.在有偿失物招领的案例中,失主以及环卫工人通过快乐值的分析,做出有偿失物招领的行为,这是道德的;网民所呼吁的"相关制度"是符合道德的预期功能的.     

Rising Happiness in Nations 1946–2004: A Reply to Easterlin

The ‘Easterlin paradox’ holds that economic growth does not add to the quality-of-life and that this appears in the fact that average happiness in nations has not risen in the last few decades. The latest trend data show otherwise. Average happiness has increased slightly in rich nations and considerably in the few poor nations for which data are available. Since longevity has also increased, the average number of happy life years has increased at an unprecedented rate since the 1950s.     

Capabilities and Well-Being: Evidence Based on the Sen–Nussbaum Approach to Welfare

One of the most significant theoretical contributions to welfare analysis across a range of disciplines has been the development of the capabilities framework by Sen and others. Motivated by the claim that freedom should play a key role in social evaluation, the capabilities framework suggests that we consider what it is that people are free to do, as well as what they actually do. Using data from the British Household Panel Survey in conjunction with a list of substantial values posited by Martha Nussbaum, we contribute to the operationalisation and testing of this approach. Specifically, we suggest that commonly used secondary data sources do provide some information about the capabilities people have and that this can be incorporated into models of (subjective) well-being such as those used by a growing number of labour and health economists. We find evidence that a wide range of capabilities exhibit statistically significant relations to well-being that the relations are complex and slightly different for men and women, and conclude with suggestions for future developments.     

和谐社会背景下的幸福观辨析

人们幸福感的缺失,主要是对幸福的误解所致。幸福不仅仅是物质的,也是精神的。培育和争取幸福既是社会和政府的责任,也是每个人必做的＂功课＂。探讨这一问题,不仅关系到个人的幸福,也关系到社会的和谐、国家的稳定和民族的精神风貌。     

Temporal Aspects of Life Satisfaction

Time pressure is a familiar phenomenon. The quantity of spare time people have clearly effects their satisfaction with their leisure and with their life as a whole. But so too, we show, does how much control people have over how much spare time they have. We measure this through an indicator of ‘discretionary time’, which proves to be equally or more important than spare time itself in these connections.     

The Heart in Haart: Quality of Life of Patients Enrolled in the Public Sector Antiretroviral Treatment Programme in the Free State Province of South Africa

This paper reports on the quality of life of patients enrolled in the public sector antiretroviral treatment programme in the Free State province of South Africa. Statistical analysis of cross-sectional data reveals that it is not access to treatment per se that enhances the quality of life of those who have come forward for ART. Rather, it is the health benefits associated with treatment, levels of stigmatisation, quality health care services, and the ability of persons to access support and care, both from within and outside the health care sector, that are independently associated with improvements in and differences in levels of quality of life.
