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.     

A Conceptual-Referent Theory of Happiness: Heterogeneity and its Consequences

This paper puts forward The Conceptual Referent Theory of Happiness (CRT), which states that a person’s conceptual referent for a happy life plays a role in the judgment of her life and in the appraisal of her happiness. A typology of eight conceptual referents for happiness is made on the basis of a review of philosophical essays on happiness.The theory contributes to the understanding of happiness by focusing on a cognitive factor involved in the judgment process: A person’s notion of what a happy life is, of what she understands for being well. Thus, CRT complements previous research by studying what a person thinks, rather than what she feels, at the time of appraising her life. CRT also stresses the importance of heterogeneity; this is: the conceptual referent is not the same for every person; people have different conceptions of what a happy life is. Hence, the investigation studies the issue of superiority in the conceptual referent for happiness. It shows that no conceptual referent can be considered as superior in the sense of being associated to greater happiness. However, there are a few conceptual referents that are clearly inferior. The investigation also studies the influence of socioeconomic and demographic variables in the conceptual referent a person holds. It shows that the probability of embracing a particular conceptual referent for happiness is contingent on a person’s socioeconomic and demographic situation. The empirical investigation is based on data from a large survey applied in Mexico.

常州大学学生幸福感调查研究

大学阶段是大学生身心状况极易波动的关键时期,大学生幸福感是直接反映其生活质量的重要综合性心理指标。通过对常州大学学生幸福感的问卷调查发现,非学生干部感受的幸福感要弱一些,焦虑程度上也弱于学生干部;对所学专业喜欢程度越高的学生感受到的幸福感也更为强烈。因此,要通过创建良好校园文化;加强心理健康教育;加强专业思想教育;给予学生锻炼的平台来增强大学生的幸福感。

福利的多维测度与广义幸福指数体系的构建

为了探讨如何构建多维角度的、能够综合反映人类福利的幸福指数,需要从幸福与财富、心理、人格、文化、社会、家庭等多维角度出发,借助于已有的一些综合数据或微观数据,通过类型内部相关性分析和与核心指数的相关性分析,形成一套能全面反映国民福利的更为宽泛的幸福指数体系。     

解读密尔的功利主义幸福观

幸福观是西方伦理思想史上最重要的内容,对此密尔也做出了功利主义的界定和阐述。他通过对个人幸福与社会幸福、幸福与德性、幸福与个性发展等相关概念及其关系的分析,阐明了功利主义的“最大幸福原则”。这种在社会层面上兼顾德性和个性自由的幸福观,对中国社会转型时期的伦理构建,有着重要的启发意义。
