Abstract

This study aims to explore the single and joint contributions of temperament and family functioning to subjective happiness in emerging adulthood. A sample of 332 Spanish college students completed measures of temperament, family functioning and subjective happiness. Results revealed that resilient and reserved temperaments showed higher levels of subjective happiness than those which were non-desirable. Regarding family functioning, students who live in healthy families showed higher levels of subjective happiness than those in unbalanced family systems. Finally, the resilient, reserved and non-desirable temperament profiles varied significantly in their contribution to subjective happiness depending on the family profile of the student. Overall, results provide new knowledge regarding the contribution of both temperament and family functioning to the subjective well-being of young people.

气质与家庭功能对西班牙大学生主观幸福感的单一与共同贡献

本研究旨在探讨气质和家庭功能对初成人主观幸福感的单一和共同贡献。332名西班牙大学生完成了性情、家庭功能和主观幸福感的测试。结果显示，与那些不受欢迎的人相比，坚韧和矜持的人表现出更高的主观幸福感。在家庭功能方面，生活在健康家庭中的学生比生活在不平衡家庭中的学生表现出更高的主观幸福感。最后，根据学生的家庭背景，弹性、矜持和不可取的气质对主观幸福感的贡献显著不同。总的来说，结果提供了关于气质和家庭功能对年轻人主观幸福感的贡献的新知识。

期刊介绍： The international peer-reviewed Journal of Happiness Studies is devoted to theoretical and applied advancements in all areas of well-being research. It covers topics referring to both the hedonic and eudaimonic perspectives characterizing well-being studies. The former includes the investigation of cognitive dimensions such as satisfaction with life, and positive affect and emotions. The latter includes the study of constructs and processes related to optimal psychological functioning, such as meaning and purpose in life, character strengths, personal growth, resilience, optimism, hope, and self-determination. In addition to contributions on appraisal of life-as-a-whole, the journal accepts papers investigating these topics in relation to specific domains, such as family, education, physical and mental health, and work. The journal welcomes high-quality theoretical and empirical submissions in the fields of economics, psychology and sociology, as well as contributions from researchers in the domains of education, medicine, philosophy and other related fields. The Journal of Happiness Studies provides a forum for three main areas in happiness research: 1) theoretical conceptualizations of well-being, happiness and the good life; 2) empirical investigation of well-being and happiness in different populations, contexts and cultures; 3) methodological advancements and development of new assessment instruments. The journal addresses the conceptualization, operationalization and measurement of happiness and well-being dimensions, as well as the individual, socio-economic and cultural factors that may interact with them as determinants or outcomes. Central Questions include, but are not limited to: Conceptualization: What meanings are denoted by terms like happiness and well-being? How do these fit in with broader conceptions of the good life? Operationalization and Measurement: Which methods can be used to assess how people feel about life? How to operationalize a new construct or an understudied dimension in the well-being domain? What are the best measures for investigating specific well-being related constructs and dimensions? Prevalence and causality Do individuals belonging to different populations and cultures vary in their well-being ratings? How does individual well-being relate to social and economic phenomena (characteristics, circumstances, behavior, events, and policies)? What are the personal, social and economic determinants and causes of individual well-being dimensions? Evaluation: What are the consequences of well-being for individual development and socio-economic progress? Are individual happiness and well-being worthwhile goals for governments and policy makers? Does well-being represent a useful parameter to orient planning in physical and mental healthcare, and in public health? Interdisciplinary studies: How has the study of happiness developed within and across disciplines? Can we link philosophical thought and empirical research? What are the biological correlates of well-being dimensions?
